Sed et medici cum intraverint ad aegrum, uti visant, nemo eorum, quod tabulina perpulchra in aedibus cernant et lacunaria auro oblita et gregatim pueros ac iuvenes eximia forma in cubiculo circa lectum stantis, aegrum iubet uti sit animo bono; sed, ubi iuxtim consedit, manum hominis prehendit, eam pertrectat, venarum pulsum et momenta captat: si quid illic turbatum atque inconditum offendit, illi renuntiat male morbo haberi.
So also when doctors too enter a sick mans room to examine him, not one of them, even if he sees dazzling galleries in the house, ceilings inlaid with gold, and boys and youths of great beauty standing in crowds around the bed in the sickroom'still, no doctor tells the patient to cheer up, but instead he sits beside him, takes the mans hand, feels it, and observes the pulse and its fluctuation. If he finds any disturbance or irregularity there, he advises the man that he is seriously ill.
