Descrição: As London itself ballooned into a megalopolis, increasing numbers of underemployed medics began to develop a “general” practice within the city limits, taking second licenses enabling them to practice surgery as a physician or give medical advice as an apothecary. After the passage of the Medical Registration Act of 1858, which abolished regional licensing and formally installed the hospital as the seat of medical instruction, the lot of the average physician improved somewhat. As continental medicine was moving into cellular pathology and microscopy, English medical education still did not include formal training in pathological anatomy. Hence, even the gains made in the early nineteenth century by French medicine were only gradually absorbed into English medical practice. Even as it was passing away, Victorian medicine spawned one last great cultural work: Conan Doyle's detective fiction, where he is somehow able to apotheosize nearly all the culturally significant features of Victorian medicine.
