What the text says
Each statement reports the source, with its chapter, page and verse. Traditional descriptions are not presented as proven medical facts.
Prognosis2
The wise physician is told to leave aside patients afflicted by pain from injury to the vital points, together with those showing fatal signs, and to treat the remaining patients.
Those wounded by a blow to a marma are said mostly to die of the severe pain within a fortnight (fifteen days); if by chance they survive by following a good physician's advice and taking various medicines, they live maimed, deaf, with shaking head and shoulders, mute, insane, confused, with upturned eyes, voiceless, or with a nasal or stammering voice.
