There are some questions posted for fun, and just to clarify...this is one of them.
I know English, I know what the word practice means and even know it's etymology and that Hippocrates was one of the first Doctors with a practice...

Not really. Although the word practice (as in a doctor's practice) and practice (as in a football practice) are the same, they have different meanings. They do, however, stem from the same origins. They come from the Greek word "praxis" which means "to act or do."
In reality, a "practice" is just something that is done. Maybe you should learn the English language before you try and tear it apart.

Some profesions cannot be mastered, The world will never stop learning about the human body. There is just to much detail involved. With that being said that's why it is called a practice.

I wouldn't it's weired for that how it is called a practice. For instance. There are mechanics and they work as mechanics. A butcher works as a butcher but a Doctor practices medicine. They don't work medicine but practice. It is called a practice because it is a way of work. Like a pilot flies a plain her does not drive it.
Hope that helps.

One of the definitions of practice is:" to do or perform often" which is what a Doctor does. Not like practicing something you are bad in to get better at it.

Not really. It is like any other skill in life... if you are to stay proficient then you must constantly practice. That's why professional sports athletes practice. That's why race car drivers practice. That's why orchestras practice... and so on.

It's practice in the sense of "the exercise or pursuit of a profession or occupation."

A wise man once said "A doctor, who finishes last in his class is still a doctor."
