Abstract


In this article we describe the reasons eighteenth century Spanish physicians offered to justify the consultations they held, as well as the circumstances where such procedures were recommended. The professional qualifications of the consulting physician, his responsibilities towards the attending doctor, etiquette, and the pecuniary aspects of consultations are also discussed. Finally we review the frequent criticisms and judgments against consultations raised by other doctors
