Since
a) I don't care one whit about Biology and
b) I still AM (part of) the very target audience
the above statement is false.
There's two fields that need to get themselves straight:
- Medical Practice
(that's what I'm interested in)
- Medical Science
(that's reseach the practice is based on)
That's the original target audience of Debian Med (note the
"Med" in the name ?)
Over the years Debian Med has gained a lot of benefits from
Biologists and various other scientists working in various
areas of Biological Sciences. Many thanks for that !
Medicine is large. It is large enough to warant a Blend
dedicated to its purpose.
(Same goes for Debian Physics, Debian Biology, ...)
