I'm not sure what you mean by "conclusion of medicine" but it's importance is that it allows us to live longer, happier and more productive lives.\n\nP.S. to Tara:  No herbal medicine is "side effect free".  If it's strong enough to create change in the body it's strong enough to create side effects.

I definitely prefer the eastern mentality towards healthcare: prevention and not treatment of the symptoms. I have not needed much healthcare, but have had acupuncture on several occasions, and it has definitely worked on me. Of course western medicine has also it's advantages and in emergency cases, medicines and invasive operation have saved many lives.  I only wish more emphasis were given on a healthy lifestyle, less stress, better eating habits, more excercise, to prevent many diseases from starting in the first place.  And I find it shameful of the Pharmaceutical Companies that they invent pills for every conceivable ill under the sun. This dependence on pills is just disastrous. Who knows what all these chemicals will do to our bodies in the long run.

I feel like their roles are very important.  If they can all work on separate diseases,  and cures,  then,  there may be hope for the world( atleast with diseases).  With out their constant studying,  and expeirements,  then,  there would be many more out of control diseases.

Religion has a very important place in medicine. First God uses other people to do His work in the world. Often when a Doctor has done all he/she knows to do they will pray for help and more than one miracle has happened this way. I have seen it.\n\nAlso it brings comfort to the patient and the family in times of terminal illness. It also helps the medical personal to cope with the fact that there is a limit to what they can do.

It isn't an illness in need of medication.\nIt isn't a disease in need of a cure.\nIt isn't a harmful behavior in need of correction.\nIt isn't "immoral," nor can it be so.

very important.  laughter is the best medicine (which by the way is a scientific fact; true science proves the Bible once again!)

-Biology, cause it's all about biology when you enter med school\n-Women's Studies, for obvious reasons\n-Psychology, it'll help get you to understand the patients, not just examining them\n-Chemistry, just to prepare you for med school\n-Business Law, with so many liabilities and lawsuits happening in the medical field, this major will prep you for it

depends...i guess you could say it's really important since biology is all about how you and everything else stays alive.  But then, most people won't use it except to answer along with people on game shows.  Others will use it if they're doctors, nurses, science teachers, paleontologists, scientists, some military personel, etc.\n\nGuess it just depends!

That's not an easy question to answer - it depends on the underlying medical problem.  \n\nIf it is not a life-threatening illness, consider getting another opinion (including that of a specialist physician).  If the general consensus of several doctors is that nothing more can be done, you may have to learn to just live with the cards you've been dealt. And be patient:  if no diagnosis can be made now, remember that the symptoms and signs may change over time to give a better idea of the disease process.  And in time new therapies may also be available.  Going to many different physicians likely is not going to help - the medical training in this country is fairly standardized, and I doubt you would get a different opinion after several consultations.  \n\nIf this is a life-threatening illness, by all means get a second opinion.  Your physician should not be hurt or offended by this - is is common practice among physicians to collaborate. Many medical centers specialize in certain diseases (ie, Cedar-Sinai, Mayo Clinic, etc)  If the consensus is still that nothing can be done, it is important to be realistic at this point.  You can still look for the miracle cure - but don't do that to the exclusion of all else.  If you have a terminal diagnosis there are other things that are important, such as family and putting your affairs in order.  \n\nAnother point to consider is the availability of alternative medicine.  Therapies such as accupunture, massage, chiropractic adjustment, and biofeedback have all been shown to be effective treatments (in randomized clinical trials) for certain conditions (often ones that modern medicine has no effective treatment for).  Homeopathy and essential oil use not been as well validated.  And beware of a large portion of the information you find on the internet - there is a weath of misguided, malicious, and just plain wrong information available.

Beside Research and teaching. Law is also an option, Scientific exports are sometimes need, and you might catch a good break as medical writer. The options are endless, just think outside the box.

Chemistry explains at the atom/molecule/electron level how atoms interact.  For medicine, a good understanding of chemistry lets us know exactly how the medicine works.  This is useful to develop other medicines that work but are safer.

Viruses are important because they can be harmful and lead to death.  They are also important to learn about because certain viruses can help cure diseases.
