Treatments
Injured During Archery competitions:
If you are competing in Archery competition to please Artemis or Apollo, with a competitor less then good, you are most likely going to get shot. If you get shot you are going to want to know how doctors operated on arrow heads implanted in the body. The first things the doctors had to do was remove the arrow head. It needed to be removed immediately so there would be little pain among the removal. The Ancient Greeks didn't have a proper anesthetic. After the removal the wound would be cleaned. Then the doctors would wrap the wound in linen bandages or sponges.
Surgery for Broken Bone:
If you are preparing for war, and something happens where you break your bone bad enough to have to have surgery on it read this paragraph to be prepared for the treatment. When a patient is having surgery, opium would be used as an anesthetic. After putting the broken bone back into place the doctors would seal the wound using honey or egg whites. After treating the injury, the patients diet will be watched. They can only eat plants that had anti-inflammatory properties.
Stitches form broken glass:
If you are carrying a glass and then drop it and some glass goes in your arm you are going to need stitches. First the doctors are going to remove the glass. Then like surgery, opium was used as an anesthetic. For stitches flax or linen thread was used. Again, after being treated the patients diet was monitored.
