Medical Fees in Bygone Days
The eighteenth century set varied charges for medical work. A graduate in physick earned about 1 shilling, often claiming 20. Licensed physicians received no more than 6 shillings 8 pence, though they charged more. A surgeon billed 12 pence per mile, 10 guilders to set a bone, bloodletting at 1 shilling, and amputations at 5 pounds, with no fixed cure fee. The Westminster Gazette notes the practice tied fees to a patient’s ability to pay, ancient as history.
