What are synonyms of healing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Healing is an interesting concept.

I define it as 'coming to terms with an issue', as 'making good' of what isn't and as 'mending' towards well-being, which often embraces also curing the physical body.

Healing is holistic and works on all levels: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

For more complete info, see http://www.therapeuticreiki.com and in particular, http://www.therapeuticreiki.com/blog , which has a number of articles on both what healing is and healing myths.

If by healing you mean the active process by which wholeness is attained, then other words for healing could be: balancing, aligning, harmonizing and restoring.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pharmacology:
  1. The science of drugs, including their composition, uses, and effects.
  2. The characteristics or properties of a drug, especially those that make it medically effective.

Just add "ist" to the "ologies" below to get the answer. For example - pathologist, etiologist, pathological physiologist etc.

The study of medicine is divided into four subjects:

I. Pathology: that part of medical science which studies disease.

A. Etiology: the investigation of morbific causes. B. Pathogeny: an explanation of the mode of action of causes-how cause produces the development of disease. C. Pathological Physiology: morbid reactions under disease-producing causes. D. Pathological Anatomy: which reveals the structural change resulting from disease. E. Symptomatology: which accounts for disturbances. F. Nosology: which describes and classifies disease.

II. Diagnosis: which determines the place where a given disease belongs in Nosology.

III. Prognosis: which foretells the outcome of disease.

IV. Therapeutics: which endeavors to relieve, modify, and cure disease.

Why accuracy is very important in pharmacy?

User Avatar

Asked by Madygirl

What in the world is an accuracy checker?

In the pharmacy, you have a pharmacist, pharmacy technician, and cashier.

The pharmacy technician inputs the prescription into the computer, which then prints out a label for you to find the drug, count it out, and label the bottle.

The pharmacist then checks your work, verifies the pill in the bottle matches the image on the screen, verifies that the name of the drug matches, checks for drug interactions, etc.

If there was a misfill or error found in selling the wrong prescription to the wrong patient, then we must contact the patient to verify the error and make sure who got the right prescription and who got the wrong one. Upon doing so, you file an incident report.
