>That king probably had one or more personal doctors, people they more or less owned, whose sole purpose and responsibility was their well-being. (Assuming we're talking a couple hundred years ago or longer.) Who didn't have access to antibiotics, vaccines, or any of a plethora of other modern drugs, germ theory of disease, anesthetics, etc. etc. I'll take an hour of a modern physician's time and access to hospital/pharmacy. Thank you very much. Quantity doesn't always beat quality. |

I even implied as much. What I'm trying to say is that being wealthy has nothing to do with the technological level of your country at some given point in history. It may have some correlation to how good access you have to whatever the highest technology available at your point in history is.
