TED-Ed: A day in the life of an ancient Egyptian doctor - Elizabeth Cox

Peseshet, an ancient Egyptian doctor, prepares her medical supplies and treats various patients, including a laborer with a broken arm and a boy stung by a scorpion. She explains a pregnancy test using seeds and interacts with colleagues at the House of Life, where her son is training as a scribe. Peseshet teaches anatomy and faces a challenging tumor diagnosis. Despite her efforts, she reflects on the limitations of her practice and the upcoming challenges with the Nile's flooding.
