Medicine is an art form. During the mid-14th century, and post bubonic plague, the scholars of the Renaissance period acknowledged the intersection of the arts and medicine not just in subject matter, but also in forms of thought. As today鈥檚 medical community continues to advance technologically, the appreciation of the arts needs to be embraced just as fully.
