Dr. CHRIS GECZY (Adjunct Professor of Finance, The Wharton School): Because either I have to raise an inordinate amount of capital in order to pay out, or I have to delay or prevent people from taking their money out, which of course induces examination.
If a college professes to foist on its professors a three or even a four course teaching load, a closer examination will show far less because of reductions given for almost any reason.
So you'd probably find a 17th century doctor quite at home with the clinical examination side of medicine as it stands today, but of course all the diagnostic tests would be considered as witchcraft.
