Bromwich learned by Mr Powell that Sloane is serving as Madam Rawlinson’s physician. He inquired about Sloane at the Grecian Coffeehouse. Sloane consulted on Rawlinson’s case before Dr Gibbons and several others were called in. One ‘Mr Brooken’ was also a patient of Bromwich’s before he retained Sloane. Bromwich states: ‘you tooke from me my Patient… I must say it is fowle practice & Not like a Gentleman’ to act in such a way. He ‘shall Compayn of it’ to the appropriate authorities.
