Dr. Michael Turner: All of them. Medicine is an art and a science. People aren't cars. They don't come with blueprints. They're not all the same.
^Something I randomly came across today...sometimes natural sciences are not always so cut and dry.

Great mixing of class discussion and your personal reading!
I wonder...has Dr. Turner mixed a couple of things himself? Is medicine, the field, a science, but the practice of medicine an art? For example, I can hardly imagine someone in med school using her heart to memorize the bones in the body or to look at a set of systems against known diseases while making a diagnosis. Yet a doctor in the practice of medicine, when interacting with patients, certainly uses heart and head.
