Surgeon In Ancient Times.

High honorariums were paid sur
geons in ancient times. When OAR
fus, the son Of Hystaspes, sprained
his foot Damocedes was called in,
another surgeon of renown having
failed to effect a cure. Damocedes
was successful, and the king took him
to his harem and introduced the doc
cor to the ladies of the court. The
ladies filled a vase of gold with money
and precious pearls, which a eunuch
was ordered to carry to the doctor.
The eunuch let fall the vase, and the
careful historian tells us that slaves
gathered up the pearls.
