Medicine at a Glance - Davey, Patrick

Medicine is a wonderful and exciting subject. Partly this excitement

comes from the pure unadulterated intellectual joy of

understanding the functioning of humans in health and disease

better, an understanding based on a powerful and growing biological

science, one which pushes the frontiers of our knowledge

back at an accelerating rate with each passing year. The most

amazing advances have been made in the treatment of many illnesses;

what is true today for them may be true tomorrow for

most diseases. Advances in basic sciences feed through into ‘landmark’

clinical trials at an ever increasing rate; indeed rarely a week

goes by without another key experiment or trial being published.

For this reason, now is perhaps the most exciting time ever to be

involved in medicine. The medical student rapidly becomes a part

of this seething intellectual community. This in itself is reason

enough to study medicine.
