Medicine is the science and art (ars medicina) of healing humans. It includes a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness. Before scientific medicine, healing arts were practiced along with alchemical and ritual practices that developed out of religious and cultural traditions. The term "Western medicine" was until recently used to refer to scientific and science-based practices to distinguish it from "Eastern medicine" — which are typically based in traditional, story-told, or otherwise non-scientific practices.

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.

Q. My girlfriend is in a great deal of pain every time during her period. She is from Asia and currently in Japan now, and they don't seem to have any medicine for it. I could have sworn there is medicine in America for it, what can I do to help her?

A. ibuprofen, aka advil or something like that, is the best for cramps and other things like headaches. if she is in so much pain that she feels like she might die or something, like if the pain is that extreme every time she has her period, she should definitely see a gynecologist.

  • Tum medicinali tantum florebat in arte, posset ut hic nullus languor hobere locum
  • If you know neither the terminology nor the concepts, you're ignorant. If you know the terminology, but you don't know the concepts, you're dangerous.
    • Jacob M. Appel, Arborophilia (2005)
  • The unbiased opinion of most medical men of sound judgment and long experience...[holds that] the amount of death and disaster in the world would be less, if all disease were left to itself.
    • Harvard professor Jacob Bigelow, 1835.
  • Cured yesterday of my disease, I died last night of my physician.
  • Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn’t organised to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.
