Medicine is the science and art (ars medicina) of healing. It encompasses a range of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness. Before scientific medicine, healing arts were practised in accordance with alchemical treatments and ritual practices that developed out of religious and cultural traditions. The term "Western medicine" was until recently used to refer to scientific and science-based practices to distinguish it from "Eastern medicine" — which are typically based in traditional, anecdotal, or otherwise non-scientific practices.

Contemporary medicine applies health science, biomedical research, and medical technology to diagnose and treat injury and disease, typically through medication, surgery, or some other form of therapy. The word medicine is derived from the Latin ars medicina, meaning the art of healing.

Though medical technology and clinical expertise are pivotal to contemporary medicine, successful face-to-face relief of actual suffering continues to require the application of ordinary human feeling and compassion, known in English as bedside manner.

A. First you will need to determine which is primary. But you really haven't given enough info in your question. If one is yours (say through an employer) and the other is your spouses (through her employer) then yours is primary for you and hers will be secondary. BUT if one is yours through an employer and one is an individual policy that you pay for, you will have to look at the individual policy to see if it coordinates with any other policy or if it pays you directly. For the most part, Humana will only cover services supplied by Humana providers, except in the case of an emergency.(Much like Kaiser). You don't say what type of policy the Aetna is-HMO-PPO? Whatever carrier has the better benefit for the service you recieve, you will… [cont.]

A.
