Medicine is the practice of maintaining
and restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of
patients whose death it is the discipline's ultimate concern to avert. It has
traditionally been regarded as both an art and a science: the term is derived
from the Latin ars medicina meaning the art of healing. Whilst health science
and biomedicine, clinical medicine, surgery and research are together the very
bedrock of contemporary medicine, successful face-to-face relief of actual
suffering resulting from disease and injury continues to require the intangible
application of human feeling and compassion, what is referred to in English as
"bedside manner." »» |
