Yes, but you do know that Doctors are just witchdoctors who dress differently and disguise their herbs and roots professionally. Not an exact science is it? By the way, I always found the following statement bizarre:
The operation was a resounding success, but the patient died.
Life's like that, huh?

Yes, especially since I think my doctor uses different definitions of the word at various times. Thank goodness we don't need to visit very often.

They practice medicine, as an astute answerer already pointed out, because they are practitioners.
When surgery or an examination or treatment happens it is not practiced, it is performed.
You are looking for semantic cuteness where none exists.

this is due to the fact they need practice before they can be professional! like a specialist in one part of the medical field!

Yes. I heard that it's called practice because there is always more to learn and they will never know it all.

Well, "practice makes perfect," after all, and that should mean science will eventually provide us all of our answers.

I work in a hospital and I find doctors just plain scary in general.
