He was the surgeon on site during Weymouth's Crabchurch Conspiracy in 1645 and performed treppaning on a wounded soldier. Richard also was one of the few that accompanied Charles II to Scotland and was at one point his private physician. How people got stitched up has often been overlooked and I can imagine that it was baffling for the country wife, who was often the one to heal broken bones and other ailments, who now had to deal with gunshot injuries.
