معنی این اصطلاح چیه ؟

Question

Delivering babies, comforting the dying, stitching wounds, and setting broken bones from farming and fishing accidents made him well known throughout the region and loved by his patients. But his income was meager. Oftentimes he had no choice but to barter, and some say he relied upon his mother-in-law to get by. As the years piled up Pitney’s enthusiasm shrank, and he became as weather-beaten as his doctor’s bag.

Answer 1

با توجه به تعریف لینک زیر بنظرم این اصطلاح کنایه از فرسوده یا کبود یا آفتاب زده شدن چهره یا رخسار در اثر کار طاقت فرسا و اینور و آنور دویدن زیاد (سگ دو زدن) برای امرار معاش (به مانند کیف رنگ و رو رفته دکتر ها در اثر استفاده زیاد از آن) است.
