Another term for a royal physician, or doctor

Found on Wikipedia’s timeline of medicine and medical technology that discusses an inscription Egyptian physician known as Iry who was also considered the eye-doctor of the palace, palace physician of the belly, and he who prepares the important medicine and knows the juices of the body.
