He became a surgeon, served with the army during the War of the Spanish Succession, and was appointed Sergeant Surgeon to George I in 1715. He would continue in this post under George II retaining it for the rest of his life. He became first the Warden and later the Master of the Company of Barber-Surgeons.

What you think of the job
I think being a surgeon would be awesome. I choose to study a surgeon because I like the Chicago med. The surgeon is my new favourite job I used to like to be a marine biologist.
