Question

In Mesopotamia, the society treated a medical practice similarly to how we do today. Which statement provides the best evidence to support this idea?

Physicians today are just as hesitant to do surgical procedures as they were in ancient times.

The physicians were required to abide by laws/rules that governed the practice of medicine.

It is difficult for a female to become a doctor.

Physicans were granted certain rankings for successful surgeries.

Answer 1

I am going to take a wild guess and choose B.

Step-by-step explanation:

By process of elimination, I think that 1 is incorrect. Surgeons/physicians are not hesitant to do surgeries, especially if they're getting paid, and if the patient needs it. 3 is also incorrect, a female has just as good a chance (if not a little less) than a man to become a doctor. The question is also relating to the similarities in medical practices, and I can tell you for a fact that women did not have any good opportunities to get a job such as a surgeon in Mesopotamia. And 4 is also incorrect because if you perform a surgery correctly, you do not get a special rank. However, throughout the course of the time spent working, you may get a small pay raise or cut based on how you are working, as far as I know. So the last logical answer is 2 (or B) because there are certain laws/rules that physicians, surgeons, and doctors alike need to abide by when working. They also govern, then and now, the way in which medicine may be practiced.

Hopefully, I'm right on this. Good luck!
