Features: This book aims to discuss all healthcare professionals, not medicine, nor a statement on medical philosophy. Schools and sects are excluded from the start. If we pay attention to schools and sects, it is only as factors that cause competition and confusion among healthcare professionals. The only object of study in this book is the doctor, midwife, and related professions such as occupational massage therapists and pharmacists. We collect scattered manuscripts and use this method to track doctors from the time they receive professional training until retirement, thereby determining their daily working status and discovering the evolution of the medical profession in its relationship with ethics, law, and authorities during this process. This book recreates the historical process of Roman doctors from birth to development: the career of doctors from acquiring professional knowledge to retirement and death, the social status of doctors, daily behavior, relationships with peers and authorities, factors affecting doctors' living conditions, obligations, moral responsibilities, and legal liabilities. The development of the medical profession and the emergence of medical specialties, and so on. By reviewing history, this book reveals the historical origins of many features of the modern medical profession to readers.
