Bonesetter
[edit]... that bonesetters were considered to be quacks or fake healers even though they treated royalty?Source: An Osteopathic Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment- ALT1:... that "Crazy Sally", an 18th-century bonesetter, successfully treated dislocated shoulders and knees in a London coffee house, though she had no medical training? Source: "On Saturday and yesterday Mrs. Mapp performed several operations at the Grecian Coffee-house, particularly one on the niece of Sir Hans Sloane ... The patient had her shoulder bone out for about nine years. On Monday, Mrs. Mapp performed two extraordinary cures; one on a young lady of the Temple, who had several bones out from the knees to the toes..." (The Cabinet of Curiosities)
5x expanded by Zerimare10 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:25, 10 March 2017 (UTC).
This nomination was prepared in March 2017 but never transcluded on the DYK nominations page (see WT:DYK#Untranscluded nominations). I have added references and done some copy-editing to bring it up to DYK start-class standards. I am also submitting an alt hook for consideration. Yoninah (talk) 21:32, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
The article was 5x expanded (just) on 4 March. It is neutral and well referenced, and the hook is interesting and verified by inline citations. Earwig's tool picks up that the lead section is a match for several websites, but the current wording appears to have been in place since at least 2007 so I think it is fair to assume that the other sites have copied Wikipedia and not the other way around. 97198 (talk) 11:12, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
