The following list is taken from MILL’S ALMANAC for 1840, as reprinted in Surgery in Trinidad by Anthony de Verteuil C.S.Sp., Litho press, Port of Spain, Trinidad, 1996. It lists the doctors in practice in 1840, and contains the doctor’s name, his level of training, and the date he obtained his degree. Note that an M.D., or Doctor of Medicine, was the highest level, qualified to practice both as a physician and a surgeon.
