In 'Middlemarch', what is the name of the young doctor?

In Middlemarch, the young doctor is Tertius Lydgate. He is an ambitious physician who arrives in the Midlands town hoping to advance modern medical knowledge and establish a scientific approach to practice.

Lydgate’s professional ideals make him one of George Eliot’s central figures. He is interested in research, anatomy, and the causes of disease, and he supports the development of a new hospital in Middlemarch. Yet his career is undermined by local politics, financial pressure, and his marriage to Rosamond Vincy, whose expectations and spending conflict with his ambitions.

The other options belong to different strands of the novel. Nicholas Bulstrode is a wealthy banker whose concealed past leads to scandal. Will Ladislaw is a young reform-minded man connected to Dorothea Brooke, while Mr. Casaubon is Dorothea’s older scholarly husband. Middlemarch was published in eight installments in 1871 and 1872.
