"A Short View of the Frauds and Abuses Committed by Apothecaries" by Christopher Merrett is a critical treatise written in the late 17th century. This work aims to expose the various malpractices and dishonesty prevalent among apothecaries, the early counterparts to modern pharmacists, in their dealings with patients and physicians. Merrett emphasizes the need for physicians to prepare their own medicines as a remedy to these fraudulent activities. The opening of the text establishes Merrett's longstanding experience in the medical field and his intent to defend the integrity of the physician's role amidst the rising malpractice of apothecaries. He shares his personal experiences and the collective grievances voiced by both patients and fellow physicians regarding apothecaries’ deceptive practices, such as fraudulent ingredient substitutions and inflated pricing. By advocating for physicians to take charge of their medicine preparation, he seeks to restore professionalism and efficacy to medical practice, reflecting on the critical ethical responsibilities of healthcare providers.
