The men took a lot of days off because a wife or daughter was “bleeding”

“Ancient Egyptian employers kept track of employee days off in registers written on tablets”

Discovered along with thousands of others in the tomb builder’s village of Deir el-Medina, this particular ostracon, on view at the British Museum’s web site, offers a rich glimpse into the lives of that trade’s practitioners. Over the 280-day period covered by this 3,200-year-old ostracon, common excuses for absence include “brewing beer” and “his wife was bleeding.”

After taking the oath on the witness stand, Dr. Long shared her extensive education and training in the Army, medicine and public health.

For her degree in public health, she spent a year researching the DOD’s DMED.

When I asked her a question about the DMED, she said, 'I have been ordered not to answer that question.'

Judge Steven Merryday immediately asked, 'Ordered by who?'

She then testified about what happened the night before the hearing.

I then asked Dr. Long if the information the military ordered her not to testify to was relevant and important to the court and the public. She said, 'Yes.' I then asked 'Why?'
