If any person strike another on the head so that the brain appears, and the three bones which lie above the brain shall project, he shall be sentenced to 1200 denars, which make 30 shillings. 4. But if it shall have been between the ribs or in the stomach, so that the wound appears and reaches to the entrails, he shall be sentenced to 1200 denars-which make 30 shillings-besides five shillings for the physician's pay.
Severe injury to the stomach and head generates the same monetary penalty, which indicates that they are seen as equal in terms of losses. However, for an injury to the head, there is no extra penalty required for physician's pay. This is troubling as a head injury of this severity would most certainly give cause for medical treatment to at the very least treat the wound (in the likely case that there were no treatments for psychological or neurological damages). Perhaps they assumed that the person would succumb to their wounds in this case, but taking that perspective makes it difficult to rationalize them as equivalent losses. It is likely that an injury to the ribs or stomach might also cause the death of the individual during this time but it is strange that there is an acknowledgement of an attempt for treatment.
