Lastly, doctors kept records and used
many
tools.
Doctors
would
often
keep
records
on
papyrus scrolls. Then, doctors ran
into a problem. Somebody came up
to them with excruciating pain. They
later found out he had a broken rib.
So the doctor used a copper saw to
cut open the rib and put a new one
in. Doctors used copper tools while
proceeding with an operation.

In final analysis, doctors played a very
important role in Ancient Egypt.

Doctors would use plants, animal
parts and copper tools while using
medicine or performing an operation.
Doctors would lose their job if they
messed up. A doctor was one of the
hardest jobs in Ancient Egypt.
Doctors
saved
many
lives and
now we
are
saving
lives with the same type of medicine
just a different form.
