Medicine is interesting. Some of it is hard science, with peer-reviewed papers, experiments and statistics. There is even some overlap with chemistry. Some of it is engineering. Doctors are closer to engineers than they are to scientists. They have a problem (a sick patient who needs help), constraints (time, availability, cost, ...), tools (drugs, diagnosis tools, ...), and need to turn all that into a solution. Some of it is craftsmanship. Surgeons are like mechanics for the human body, a job requiring dexterity and practical thinking. Some of it is care. With nurses needing as much empathy as they need practical skills. |
