In this chapter of the book, the narrator first teaches readers about the different parts of the body and their respective names. Then, the shift goes to Quintus and his family. Quintus cannot move because his feet hurt, and the family calls a doctor to their home. The doctor instead examines the boy's teeth and arms. The crooked doctor then cuts Quintus on the arm to let the bad blood out, which makes Marcus faint, showing that the doctor is obviously crooked.
