This dimension groups healers by the year they were born, showing which generation of medicine they belong to. Wikipedia notes that "both the role of doctors and the meaning of the word itself vary around the world," a role that has looked different in every generation of medical practice. Browsing by birth year lets a visitor compare healers from the same generation.
