Jobs in medicine: The Surgeon. 3D Illustration

Here again a picture from the category work, sector medicine. Surgical interventions that were survived by patients have been documented as early as the Stone Age. This art was not limited to Homo sapiens: a 50,000 year old skeleton find of a male Neanderthal man in a cave in Iraq proves an arm amputation. Survived trepanations have been documented for 12,000 years. In ancient times, especially among the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, operations were carried out with special mostly metallic tools. Little is known about the successes and healings. The tasks of surgery have always included hemostasis in the event of injuries and the treatment of bone fractures as well as festering wounds and chronic ulcers. So far, apart from the pain numbing, very little has changed. Except microsurgery with keyhole operations.
