What do I, honestly think of physics, really?

I understand that physics is an inherent part of life. Being in the medical field, and having a great passion for all the learning that it involves leads me naturally to the point of saying that I love physics. I am not sure how I could separate my study of medicine from a study of physics. The concepts of time, of velocity, of direction, of cause and effect are all woven into the study of medicine. It is in fact the study of medicine itself. If there is any issue I have with physics it is that its study would somehow be unnaturally separated from its influence on day to day life, or divorced from its ability to shed light on life in its broadest sense. Physics is all around us and while I acknowledge the greatness in the many specializations of physics I am much more interested in its broader concepts and learning what people from all cultures and view points have gained about the world.
