	The Hippocratic Wound Healer
		The Hippocratic doctor, who was both a physician and a surgeon, employed all his senses: smell and taste of secreted body fluids, palpation and auscultation and of course vision.
		Although the accounts for trephaning the skull contained in the Hippocratic writings are considered masterpieces of compressed description, the suggested kind of management is quite different from the rules of modern practice.
		However, by referring to diet the Hippocratic wound healer had in mind not only the amount and kind of food injested - as today is the case - but rather a whole way of life: gymnastics, exercise, massage, bathing, as well as diet.

	eMedicine - Clubbing of the Nails : Article by Robert A Schwartz
		Finger clubbing also may occur, without evident underlying disease, as an idiopathic form or as a Mendelian dominant trait.
		Clubbing is a clinically descriptive term, referring to the bulbous uniform swelling of the soft tissue of the terminal phalanx of a digit with subsequent loss of the normal angle between the nail and the nail bed.
		Since clubbing of the fingers is a clinical finding, it is not an independent cause of mortality; however, mortality associated with underlying pathology in patients with secondary clubbing varies greatly.

		For in the same treatise in which he points out the usefulness of the finger nails and in the course of it teaches us how long they ought to be, Hippocrates likewise points out the usefulness of dividing the hand into fingers and setting the thumb opposite the other four.
		He writes as follows: "A good shape for the fingers, a wide space between, and the thumb opposite the forefinger." In fact, the division took place for the sake of enabling the fingers to spread apart to the greatest extent, often a very useful position.
		I suppose that the fingers could move in many different ways even without the aid of bones, just as the arms of the octopus can, but no work we do would ever have firm support if we did not have a part that was hard and resistant.
