So Alana, can we start with, I suppose, the obvious ones, what we would call physicians, which I assume means doctor, but maybe it doesn't?
Oh.
So this is a brand new... It's a new thing.
...guild, a body... Yeah.
...to regulate and to administer and say, like, you've been, you're legit, you've done the training.
That's too much hemlock.
And so the physicians are, I suppose, the educated class, right?
They have to know Latin and Greek.
They've got to know their Galen.
They've got to know their humours.
So, OK, so if I'm a rich person spending my 10 shillings to get the doctor in, the physician comes around, how are they diagnosing me?
What are they looking for in terms of symptoms, things they can read?
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Amazing.
So they're literally taking the piss?
Yep.
Okay.
Wow.
