Quote:

Surgeons made up another category of trained healer. Surgery and medicine were considered separate fields, although the lines were beginning to blur and would eventually disappear altogether. Medicine, or “physick,” was an intellectual, gentleman’s skill; surgery was a manual trade, and thus had lower status. Many surgeons learned their skill in the military and continued to practice after their discharge. They set broken bones, removed cataracts, and amputated diseased or injured limbs.

Paraphrase:

Surgery and medicine were two different fields practiced by two different types of people: gentlemen and people of lower status. A lot of surgeons were trained in the military, but once they were discharged they continued their practice. Surgery in the 17th century was much less complex then surgery now, but many operations practiced back then are still done today.

My Ideas:

I think that non-religious surgical procedures were just taking off. That means that instead of praying and applying an herbal mix from God, surgeons were starting to amputate limbs. Surgery was getting more and more complex, and new discoveries were probably happening all the time. “Medicine, or “physick,”‘ probably meant doctors. I see why gentlemen did the easier, less gruesome tasks while people of lower status did the dirty work. Surgeons must have gotten paid less.

Vocabulary:

Cataract – A  cataract  is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil.  Cataracts  are the most common cause of vision loss in people over age 40 and are the principal cause of blindness in the world.

This is my project that I did with Oliver, Eli, and Elijah about the Dragon Boat Festival. It shows the story of why the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated. I was the emperor, Oliver was the dragon, Elijah was the narrator and Elijah was Qu Yuan, the main character. This was a fun project that required good pronunciation and sentence structure in the script. If I could do this again, I would make the video longer.
