Transcription
Turner wants to arrange a medical appointment for a relation of his. Daniel Turner was admitted as a surgeon to the Barber-Surgeons’ Company of London in 1691. He participated in four dissections that were recorded and published in the Philosophical Transactions between 1693 and 1694. In 1711, after twenty years of practicing surgery, he was admitted as a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians.
