Because when they start doing anatomies and stuff, often they're so wedded to Galen.

They love Galen so much that they'll be anatomising people's bodies.

But looking in the Galen book and it doesn't match.

And they're like, oh, God, another freak of nature.

How has this happened for the third time in a row?

So the physicians are really proud of their diagnostic skills.

It's kind of the main thing they have that's different from everybody else.

So they'll take a really detailed history.

They'll ask you what your symptoms are, but also what you've been eating, what your relationship's like, how you sleep, how often you have sex.

And they'll write all that stuff down.

They also will take your pulse.

And I've never quite worked out why they're doing this.

They're really proud of their ability to take the pulse and read it.

But they never seem to actually diagnose anybody from it.

The thing that they use, and it's more useful to them, is reading urine.

Uroscopy.

And you'll get a flask of your urine and the physician will have a look at it and he'll give it a sniff and he might drink some of it.

Whoa.

Yeah.

Exactly.
