Medicine

Medicine is the science and practice of diagnosing, treating, and preventing illness and injury. It encompasses a variety of health care practices and technologies designed to maintain and restore health through the study of the human body and the application of various treatments. Medicine can be broadly divided into various fields, including but not limited to, internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and psychiatry. It involves both conventional practices, such as the use of pharmaceuticals and surgical procedures, as well as alternative therapies. The goal of medicine is to improve patient health outcomes and enhance quality of life through evidence-based practices, patient care, and clinical research.
