EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the 15th century depicts a physician carefully examining a sample of urine from a patient lying in bed. The scene is taken from Regimen Sanitatis, also known as The Salernian Rule of Health, which was originally written in the 12th or 13th century. In this historical image, we see the ancient practice of uroscopy being performed by the physician to diagnose and treat illnesses based on the color, smell, and consistency of the patient's urine. This method was commonly used in medieval times as a way to understand the body's internal workings and identify potential health issues. The intricate details captured in this woodcut showcase not only the medical expertise of the physician but also provide us with a glimpse into healthcare practices of centuries past. The furniture and furnishings surrounding the patient's bed give us insight into daily life during this period. As we admire this piece of medical history preserved through art, we are reminded of how far medicine has come since then while also appreciating the knowledge and dedication that physicians have shown throughout time in caring for their patients.
