...from the spontaneous vomiting, they made him healthy. 8 But these things are bad: if left alone, or from misfortune. 9 By giving him a medicine, they ruptured a vein in the chest by vomiting, bile or phlegm, in one who previously had no manifest pain in the chest, and thus a disease arose. 10 And by giving a medicine to a woman who was with child, the belly erupting downwards, she miscarried the fetus. 11 And for one treating suppuration, if the belly becomes loose, it destroys the patient. 12 And for one treating the eyes, if one applies a balm and sharper pains fall upon them, 13 and if it so happens, the eyes are ruptured and blinded. And they blame the physician because he applied the balm. 14 And if a physician gives something for abdominal pain to a woman after childbirth, and she fares badly, or even dies, the physician is the cause. 15 Indeed, as many things as have necessity, so that bad things arise upon bad things in diseases and wounds, they blame the physician when these occur; 16 and they do not recognize the necessity that compels such things to happen. 17 And if, having entered to one with a fever or a wound and having applied a remedy, he does not help the present condition, but on the following day the patient fares worse, they blame the physician. 18 But if he helps, they do not praise this uniformly. 19 It is necessary to think that he himself has suffered.

...make the belly flow. 8 But in truth, physicians cause bad things through misfortune in these cases. 9 If by giving a medicine that draws bile or phlegm upwards, they rupture a vein in the chest through vomiting, in one who previously had no manifest pain in the chest, and thus a disease is made. 10 And if they exhibit a medicine that purges upwards to a woman who has a child in the womb, and the belly erupting downwards expels the fetus. 11 And he who treats suppuration, if the belly becomes loose, destroys him. 12 And he who treats the eyes and applies a balm, if sharper pains fall upon them, 13 and if it so happens, the eyes are ruptured and destroyed, they accuse the physician because he applied the balm. 14 And if the physician gives something for the pain of the belly to a woman after childbirth, and she fares badly or perishes, the physician is in fault. 15 For almost all things that have a necessity, so that evils arise upon evils in diseases and wounds, where these things happen, they cast the blame upon the physician, 16 and do not recognize the necessity compelling such things to be. 17 And if, having entered to one having a fever or a wound, he does not help with the admitted remedies, but on the following day the sick person fares worse, they accuse the physician. 18 If he does help, they do not praise it equally. 19 For they think that he himself must suffer, and that ulcers must be inflamed, 20 and that in certain diseases pains must happen, and that they are not such that they should not happen. 21 A severed and dissected nerve does not coalesce, nor the bladder, nor any of the thin intestines, nor a blood-flowing vein, nor the thin part of the cheek, nor the skin of the genitals.
