Herodotus remarked that there was a high degree of specialization among Egyptian physicians, with some treating only the head or the stomach, while others were eye-doctors and dentists.
Hérodotos poznamenáva, že medzi egyptskými lekármi bola vysoká miera špecializácie – jeden sa staral len o hlavu, iný o žalúdok, ďalší o oči alebo bol zubár.
