Medicine
8/15/2008
Medicine 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.
