Medicine is a branch of health science concerned with maintaining human health and restoring it by treating disease and injury; it is both an area of knowledge, a science of body systems and diseases and their treatment, and the applied practice of that knowledge.

The practice of medical care is divided between the medical profession?physicians or doctors?and other groups of professionals, such as nurses or pharmacists (sometimes called allied health professions). Historically, only members of the medical profession proper have been considered to actually practice medicine in the strictest sense, in contrast to the allied fields of health care professionals. The medical profession is the social and occupational structure of the group of people formally trained and authorized to apply medical knowledge. Many countries and legal jurisdictions have legal limitations on who may practice medicine or the allied medical fields.

Systems of medical and healthcare practices have existed among human societies since at least the dawn of recorded history. These systems have developed in various ways in different cultures and regions. Medicine as understood in the modern period has historically been considered to be the mainstream tradition which developed in the Western world since the early modern age. Many other traditions of medicine and healthcare are still widely practiced throughout the world, most of which are still considered to be separate and distinct from Western medicine, also called biomedicine or the Hippocratic tradition. The most highly developed systems of medicine outside the Western system are the Ayurvedic tradition of India and traditional Chinese medicine. Various non-mainstream traditions of health care have also developed in the Western world distinct from mainstream medicine. The various other systems practiced among various cultures are sometimes practiced alongside or in cooperation with Western medicine, while sometimes being seen as competing traditions.

Available: Immediately Rent: $1195 (Utilities are shared and they average out to be approximately $100/month.) Hi! I am a 37-year-old professional single woman. I would love to find the right woman with which to share my BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL and SPACIOUS HOME. I want only one person with which to share this three bedroom house, so there is plenty of room for each of us to have ample personal space and privacy. I dont like to be crowded. I am offering the Master Bedroom and Master Bathroom as the rental space in a three bedroom, two bath, open floor plan home. My bedroom is downstairs with my own bathroom, cable television and so on. So you would get to be in the main part of the house (all on upper level) that has a large livingroom, diningroom area, kitchen, third bedroom, etc. Thus, there is a strong sense of independent living areas for just two persons. The house has a plentitude of space and a roomy floor plan, as well as being pretty up to-date (most everything has been renovated in the past few years.) In a perfect situation, I'd like to live with a woman, who becomes a cool friend as well, but at least I would like you to be a responsible, considerate, and as close to down to earth as possible. I am a fun, cheery person with a wide variety of interests who has way too much space - yes it is possible. Also, I have an awesome Alaskan Malamute dog, named Zeus, who LOVES people and is the sweetest and most well trained companion ever (he started out as a Show Dog and I havent had the heart to break the news to him that the gig is up and has been long ago). At eleven years old, he is a very mellow oversized teddy bear, who doesn't bark and only howls when he feels his opinion is necessary. :-) I can provide you with contact information from any one of my past housemates that would attest to that as well. I have numerous pictures of the house, both inside and outside that I can e-mail to you as well. Give me a call so that we can chat and see from there.

Health Information Literacy Project at Lake Hospital System
Lake Hospital System in Ohio has been selected as one of only nine hospital libraries across the country to participate in the Medical Library Association's Health Information Literacy Research Project, which is being funded through a $250,000 two-year contract from the National Library of Medicine. Under the project, participants will evaluate hospital-based health care providers' awareness and understanding of health information literacy and its value in support of patient care. Full details can be found at Lake Hospital System Selected as Pilot Site for Health Information Literacy Research Project.From the site:"There are many factors that influence health literacy. In addition to a patient's general literacy, you have to consider the individual's amount of experience in the health care system, the complexity of the information being presented and cultural factors that may influence decision making," explained Holly Kimborowicz, Lake Hospital System's health science librarian."Add to this the emotions that can be involved, especially with the diagnosis of a serious illness, and it's not surprising that patients and their families are often overwhelmed by all information being communicated to them," she said.Kimborowicz said studies show that health care professionals can most readily improve patients' health literacy by confirming that patients understand the information communicated and by adopting a more patient- friendly communication style that encourages questions.
