Practicing Medicine in Present Scenario
Journal Title: Santosh University Journal of Health Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The practice of Medicine combines medical knowledge, intuition and judgment. It requires the ability to extract information from a mass of contradictory physical signs, laboratory data and imaging films. It involves judgment, to determine when a clinical clue is worth pursuing or when to dismiss it, whether to treat or to watch, and to estimate in any given patient whether a proposed treatment entails a greater risk than the disease.(1) The editor of the first edition of Harrison’s, Internal Medicine(2) articulated in words that “No great opportunity/responsibility or obligation can fall to the lot of a human being than to become a physician. In the case of the suffering he needs technical skill, scientific knowledge and human understanding. He who uses these with courage –with humanity and with wisdom will provide a unique service to his fellowman and will build an enduring edifice of character within himself. The physician should ask of his destiny no more than this; he should be content no less”.
