Courtney Dainton describes how, for nearly two centuries, it was one of only two major hospitals in England for the care of the general sick. Some of the leading citizens persuaded the Lord Mayor to submit a petition to the King for the refoundation of St.
Henry authorized the refoundation of St. For nearly two centuries after their refoundation these two hospitals were the only important ones for the general sick in the whole of England. It is not until after the refoundation of St. Three surgeons were appointed in and a physician in Some years later there were four surgeons and four physicians, and these numbers remained unchanged until , although there were also assistant surgeons and assistant physicians. One of the first surgeons appointed at the hospital was Thomas Vicary.
Until there was often trouble between the surgeons, most of whom had received a fairly good education and training, and the barbers, who acted as the general practitioners of the time, drawing teeth and carrying out minor surgery.
When they became united in one company, the barbers agreed to restrict their surgery to dentistry, and the surgeons undertook to cease to practise as barbers. By an Act of Parliament the new company was allowed to fine unlicensed practitioners in London and to have the bodies of four executed criminals each year for dissection.
The company aimed to raise the status of surgery; to this end lectures and demonstrations were arranged which all members had to attend. The surgeons were forbidden to administer medicines for internal disorders; this was the province of the physicians, who were not allowed to carry out operations, even such simple ones as blood-letting. Nevertheless, there were many who practised medicine without any qualifications or training whatsoever. Their victims were often later taken to hospitals, in the hope that the physicians and surgeons there could undo the work of the quacks.
All these were brought to this mischief by witches, by women, by counterfeit rogues that take upon them to use the art, not only of robbing them of their money but of their limbs and perpetual health.
And I, with certain others, diligently examining these poor people, how they came by their grievous hurts and who were their chirurgeons that looked unto them and they confessed that they were either witches, which did promise by charms to make them whole, or else some women which would make them whole with herbs and suchlike things, or else some vagabond rascal which runneth from one country to another promising unto them health only to deceive them of their money.
Once a week all the doctors at St. They were accompanied by members of the staff carrying the ward books, in which the names of all the patients were written. The physicians sat down in each ward, and the patients were brought to them. After each one had been examined, the treatment for him was written in the book. When all the patients in the ward had been dealt with, the book was taken to the apothecary and, unless they were too ill to do so, the patients had to go to him and collect their medicine.
It seems that the physicians were regarded as far superior to the surgeons, for the apothecary was not allowed to make up any medicine for them unless the prescription was countersigned by a physician. There is one description of an amputation carried out at the hospital by John Woodall, a surgeon who lived from to
