Illustrations from the Wellcome Institute Library
Medical History, 1996, 40: 365-372 Illustrations from the Wellcome Institute Library Thomas Mister of Shipston (1711-80) JOAN LANE* All too little is known about the actual running of eighteenth-century medical practices and it was formerly presumed that provincial surgeon-apothecaries, barely literate, kept no financial or patient records, relying merely on memory. However, recent research has shown that such men kept accounts, sent bills and wrote clients receipts for treatment, although after nearly three centuries surgeon-apothecaries' cash ledgers and patient notes may have simply been destroyed or lie unrecognized in private archives. Far more examples of patient case-notes exist than practice cash records. Undoubtedly, eminent practitioners treating the great, titled or affluent were more likely to write up their findings, medications and results, for example, John Hall (1575-1635), William Brownrigg (1711-1800) or Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802). More representative, however, were the general practice memoirs of such men as Richard Kay of Lancashire or Christian Esberger of Lincolnshire,I with no famous patients and only a modest way of life. If these memoirs are uncommon in archive terms, then financial records of Georgian general practice are even rarer. A partial estimate of a practitioner's income can, of course, be constructed when his fees are traced in patients' own records, particularly estate ledgers, or if he had been paid for institutional tasks (parish poor law work, legal cases of all kinds). Many categories of patients-chronic, hypochondriac, or fatally ill-who were correspondents or diarists wrote of medical diagnosis, treatment and especially fees, but these are only fragments of information.2 More detailed local research can show, however, that practitioners did keep cash records, itemizing patients' names, addresses, medications and charges, nearly always indicating how slowly an account was settled, never paid or, unrecoverable, written off as a bad debt ("desperate"). -
