Poet
A poet is a person who studies and creates poetry. Poets may describe themselves as such or be described as such by others.

Poets have existed since prehistory, in nearly all languages, and have produced works that vary greatly in different cultures and periods.

Physician
A physician (American English), medical practitioner (Commonwealth English), medical doctor, or simply doctor, is a health professional who practices medicine, which is concerned with promoting, maintaining or restoring health through the study, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of disease, injury, and other physical and mental impairments.

Both the role of the physician and the meaning ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
