v2.c30.534

41 The earliest Indian medical treatises are devoted to a particular branch of medicine, thus testifying to the existence of specialists. The division into internal medicine and surgery is very old and also found, for example, in early Greek medicine. See on specialists in classical antiquity: G. Baader (1967); A. Krug (1993): 192–193; P. Mudry (1985).
