Dr Davidson

In the novel Cards on the Table, Dr Davidson is a divisional surgeon. He is described as a "tall, melancholy man". He examines the body of Mrs Lorrimer after she is found dead. He comments that if they had arrived an hour or two earlier, they might have been able to save her. When Poirot says that Mrs Lorrimer probably would not have lived to stand her trial, as she was a very ill woman, Dr Davidson agrees, and says that perhaps it is all for the best.
