"Medicina Flagellata; Or, The Doctor Scarify'd" by Anonymous is a sharp, satirical look at the medical world of the 1700s. The unknown author uses wit to reveal the bad behavior, lack of skill, and dishonest actions found among doctors and pharmacists of the time. The writing warns people to watch out for fake treatments and instead demand real medical help, pushing for a return to honest and responsible healthcare. It starts with thoughts on how medicine has gone downhill, claiming that many doctors don't have the right education or morals, which hurts those they treat. The author emphasizes how many phonies care more about money than healing, hiding their ignorance behind confusing words and strange cures, and emphasizes that being truly knowledgeable requires careful study and a strong moral compass.
