First appearance: viii
As a supporting figure in Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands, Dr. Casey is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Referenced as a surgeon from whom Mary gleaned medical instruction.
Dr. Casey belongs to the small circle of doctors and officers who recognize Mrs. Seacole's skill when official channels do not. His collaboration underscores the central friction of her story: she is a healer without credentials, valued by those who watch her work and doubted by those who read her name. He matters because he helps translate her instinct and experience into the medical world of the camp, where her nursing becomes indispensable.
