Conspicuous Consumption
09 November 2011, 11.00 - 13.00

Guided walk
Today we see healthcare as a basic human right, but this is a
surprisingly recent idea. For centuries, diagnoses and cures have
been bought and sold in London's medical marketplace. Join us as we
uncover the secrets of 'Doctoropolis' - a place where leading
surgeons rubbed shoulders with the 'King of the Quacks'.
