Medicine is a diverse, flexible field. Physicians may work in labs, health clinics, government offices, military settings or in business. At the clinical level, doctors may care for seniors, children, athletes or those with specific health challenges such as brain, heart or digestive disorders. They often work in teams comprising the patient and patient's family, friends and caregivers, plus other health professionals. 6, record 2, English, - doctor%20of%20medicine
