In medicine, the main pursuit is to preserve health and cure disease. The present state of medical practice suggests that a solution is still far to seek. During its advance through the centuries, however, medicine has always been driven into action and from numerous realm of empiricism has gained useful information.While it is true that medicine is an art which may have been glorified unduly in the past, it is as much a science as well especially in the present day world. Like any other discipline of science no real progress in medicine has ever been made without research. There can be no progress in medicine when there is a fixed creed. A creed in medicine means that all future practice andtreatment shall be based upon certain doctrines, dogmas and rules that have been formulated and beyond which it is heresy.
