A young doctor from out of town is invited to dinner with a group of older medical men, whose conversation reveals their incompetence. Written by the accomplished physician Ibn Bu?lan, the work satirizes the hypocrisy of quack doctors while displaying Ibn Bu?lans own deep technical knowledge of medical practice, including surgery, blood-letting, and medicines.
