During his career, Thomas Millerchip served four prison sentences, two for attempting to procure abortion, and was removed from the register by the General Medical Council in 1885. Yet, he experienced considerable support in his hometown of Coventry and subsequently practised, intermittently, outside of the law until his death in 1912. This article examines the ways in which, as a newly qualified practitioner, he built up his practice but also identifies the pitfalls that could beset a medical career in late nineteenth-century England. It demonstrates that qualified practitioners did not have a monopoly within the medical marketplace and that the process of professionalisation was incomplete by the advent of the First World War
