Medicine
* It is the art and science of healing.
* It encompasses a range of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
* Contemporary medicine applies health science, biomedical research, and medical technology to diagnose and treat injury and disease, typically through medication, surgery, or some other form of therapy.
* The word medicine is derived from the Latin ars medicina, meaning the art of healing.
* Though medical technology and clinical expertise are pivotal to contemporary medicine, successful face-to-face relief of actual suffering continues to require the application of ordinary human feeling and compassion, known in English as bedside manner.
