The doctor tells Macbeth of Lady Macbeth’s condition, Macbeth simply tells him to fix her. The doctor tells Macbeth that for a mental disorder the patient must fix herself.

Analysis :
Macbeth is fearless because of the prophecies, but he seems to wish he weren’t. He knows his life is awful, but he’s so gripped by ambition that he can’t turn back. Macbeth seems totally out of touch with reality. He is a man warped beyond any semblance of humanity. The significance of the Name Seyton , is important as it phonetically sounds like Satan by doing this Shakespeare further creates an image of Macbeth conspiring with the devil.
