I. No Physician shall Presume to Bleed a Woman, in the Absence of her Relatives.

No physician shall presume to bleed a freeborn woman without the presence of her father, mother, brother, son, uncle, or some other relative, except urgent necessity should demand it; and where it happens that none of the above-named persons can be present, the woman must be bled in the presence of respectable neighbors or slaves, of either sex, according to the nature of her illness. If a physician should do this without the presence of any of the aforesaid persons, he shall be compelled to pay ten solidi to the husband or the relatives of said woman; for the reason that it is not at all improbable that, on such an occasion, wantonness may sometimes occur.[51]

II. No Physician shall Visit Persons Confined in Prison.

No physician shall presume to enter a prison when governors, tribunes, or deputies, are excluded therefrom, without being accompanied by the jailer, lest the prisoners, influenced by fear, may obtain from said physician the means wherewith to commit suicide; for should any poison be furnished or administered by physicians, under such circumstances, the course of justice would be greatly obstructed. Should any physician be guilty of this offence, he shall be liable to punishment for the same.

III. Where a Physician Treats Disease under a Contract.

Where any person demands that a physician treat him for disease, or cure his wound under a contract; after the physician has seen the wound, or diagnosed the disease, he may undertake the treatment of said sick person under such conditions as may be agreed upon, and set forth in an instrument in writing.

IV. Where a Sick Person Dies, while a Physician is Treating him under a Contract.

Where a physician undertakes the treatment of a sick person under a contract reduced to writing, he must restore said sick person to health; and, if the latter should die, the physician shall not be entitled to the compensation stipulated in said contract, and no liability shall attach to either of the parties to the same.

V. Where a Physician Removes a Cataract from the Eye.
