Bulgular: Bu değerlendirme sırasında; hekimin değerli olduğu düşüncesi, tıp-felsefe ilişkisi, humoral patoloji kuramı, zihin-beden ilişkisi, ölçülülük, harici hastalık, prognoz yaklaşımı, ruh kavramı, rüyalar, ses, mantık ve beden egzersizi, soğuk banyonun zararları, sıcak banyonun faydaları, beslenme, şarap tüketimi, etkili ilaçların kullanılmaması gerektiği ve yaşam tarzının önemi gibi konulara değinildiği saptanmıştır.

Sağlığın korunması konusunda verdiği bilgiler, döneminin sayılır bir sağlık okuryazarı olarak anımsanmasını düşündürmektedir.
