Physician in London in 1820s

[jsanders]

Hello,

I was wondering what a physicians life in London might be like in the 1820s.  Is there a book which might describe the life of a physician at the time?  My ancestor Henry L. Sanders was a physician around that time in London. 

I also know he went to Germany for a stint in the 1820s where one of his children were born. In the late 1830's, he emigrated to the United States.

Your help is appreciated.

Regards, Jim
