MEDICINE ART & TECHNOLOGY
Medicine is a phenomenal advancement in the world of health.
It can help people recover from illness, regain strength, and even conquer
unimaginable feats such as cancer. Medicine can be seen as a transformative
agent that can create masterpieces.
Most people cannot see medicine in the way that I do.
Medicine is in fact art. The medicine is the tool used and the recipient of the
medicine is the canvas, or surface being worked on. Take for example a human
being with a rash on their skin. The human being takes a certain kind of
medicine to relieve the ugly rash, and within a matter or time, the skin is as
good as new. The medicine transforms the human canvas into something new and
beautiful.
Technology is a component in the world of health that can be
connected to art. X-rays, MRI, and CAT scans take pictures of the human body
and allow us to observe it in ways never thought imaginable. These technologies
delve deeper into the anatomy of the human body allowing artists to better
visualize the concept.
To the naked eye medicine technology and art may not have a
connection, but we must look deeper than the surface. Medicine and technology
allow us to comprehend the human body just as art can. With a better
understanding of the human anatomy, we can therefore advance our endeavors in
all three categories, medicine technology and art.
