Document Summary
Health is about the body (hears everywhere, biology physical origin) These are ridiculous, but they can convey something of what we think of. Also about choices (apple implies eat healthy and right) Illness: women in white caring for people, thermometers, wires etc. Whe(cid:374) you"re ill you should see a (cid:373)edi(cid:272)al professio(cid:374)al, (cid:449)ho (cid:449)ill (cid:373)ake you (cid:271)etter. But this is very limited and restricted idea of illness. Medicine: pills (but its for more than just pills) very limited idea again. So, when added together they are the perfect summary of health, illness and medicine. But its more complex than we think, all these terms are debatable (especially in time) One might see something as harm while another sees it as healing. Health is not just this biological phenomenon. Our do(cid:373)i(cid:374)a(cid:374)t (cid:272)o(cid:374)(cid:272)eptio(cid:374) of ill(cid:374)ess is either healthy or ill (does(cid:374)"t really (cid:449)ork i(cid:374) practice, its more complex)
