Let's Play Doctor: Medical Rounds in Ancient Greece.
Bockler, Donald
American Biology Teacher, v60 n2 p106-11 Feb 1998
Biology students are exposed to historical theories of medicine by contrasting modern medicine and germ theory with the humoral theory of medicine in ancient Greece. After spending one day describing basic theories in humoral medicine, the teacher role-plays a Hippocratic physician treating ailing Greek patients in a Hippocratic medical workshop. Students role-play the patients. (PVD)
