Medicine encompasses a range of practices which aim to maintain and restore human health through the prevention and treatment of illness. Contemporary medicine relies upon health science, biomedical research, and medical technology to diagnose and treat injury and disease, typically through medication, surgery, or some other form of therapy. 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. Although medical technology and clinical knowledge are a major part of contemporary medicine, successful face-to-face relief of actual suffering requires the intangible application of human feeling and compassion, which is referred to in English as "bedside manner."
