📋 What it is
Medicine links biology, chemistry and detective reasoning — symptoms are clues to what a system is doing.
🗣️ Coach says
Medical science connects many fields. Biology explains how the body works, chemistry explains medicines and tests, and diagnosis is detective work — reading symptoms as clues to which system is struggling. Understanding the links turns scattered facts into how a doctor actually thinks.
