Title: D'Un Malade, et D'Un Medecin
Period: 1650-1700;
Geographic: Brussels; Belgium; Ancient Greece
Description: A doctor asks his patient how he was. The patient says he sweats a great deal: the doctor says that this is a good thing. On the next visit he asks the same question, and his patient says he's having shivering fits leaving him cold. The doctor says that this is a good sign too. On the third visit the doctor, as before, asks about his patients health, and the sick man says he felt feverish. The doctor says that this is a very good sign. Afterwards a friend came to see the patient, and on asking him how he is, the patient says he is dying of good signs.
