No! I will not write your personal statement for you! :meanie:
 
Couple shots of jack and an aspirin usually do it for me, but if it's a serious disease I usually have to break out the 100 proof

The question is, how do YOU define medicine and why do YOU want to go to med school...the latter of which is a personal question/answer, don't you think?

Come on... you can't ask such an esoteric question and expect not to get flamed. When I've told people that I'm interested in medicine, I mean that based on my experiences, I'm fascinated by medical science and its applications, nothing more, nothing less.
 
"Medicine" is the second single of American hip hop rapper Plies' upcoming fourth studio album, Goon Affiliated. The track is absent from the retail versions for unknown reasons, but is on the Amazon deluxe version. The track features American singer-songwriter Keri Hilson. There are two versions, one with a more radio friendly, slow beat and one with a more club beat.

You're welcome :meanie:
 
Okay I'm going all philosophical here, but I'll give it a try:

Since all life has a beginning and an end, medicine is a means to help carry a person through this life in a comfortable (if possible) manner.


:laugh: yeah yeah I know
 
Don't hurt me, no more
 
Ok, I think it's time to answer your question seriously:

Not D.O.

Ask wikipedia:

wikipedia said:
Medicine is the science and art 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.
