Apothecaries, physicians and surgeons

[摘要] Hilary De Lyon's reflections on Trollope1 and her account of the ethical, professional and pecuniary conflicts between making a diagnosis and selling a treatment in the mid-19th century certainly have resonance at the beginning of the 21st. Interestingly, a much earlier fictional account, this time in the form of a short dramatic comedy, of the relationships between physicians, surgeons and apothecaries, has recently come to light.
