7.11.1792 Doctor Raine / 8.11.1792 / 9.11.1792 syringe / 10.11.1792 syringe / 12.11.1792 / 15.11.1792 (adv Agar) / 26.11.1792 / 19.6.1794 meet Raine
In the Godwin Diary website these entries are coded to Matthew Raine (a Doctor but not of medicine) though the editorial notes make it clear they do not think it can be him as the closeness of the 7 entries and the word syringe clearly suggest a medical intervention. But a medical doctor called Raine, Rain or Rayne doesn't seem to have existed. There were three surgeons, one named William Raine will PCC 1800 'who had resided many years in the East Indies' who died on board ship before landing in England (Oracle 28.10.1800), one named William Rayne will PCC 1797 surgeon 13th regt foot Jamaica, and one named Robert Raine of East Looe Cornwall 1827 (Cornwall RO DC/Loo/I/297), also an Isaac Raines surgeon of Whitby 1805. The meeting in 1794 is also coded to Matthew Raine but this is put in doubt by the entry of M Raine in Godwin's 1796 list for 1800. There are cases (Ingenhousz, Boaden, Bourgeois, Sir R Barclay) where the first appearance in the 1796 list was preceded by diary entries that seem clearly to have been the same person
