where they call it a practice because nobody's gotten it perfect yet
means A facility where patients receive medical examination, advice, or treatment, often specialized and typically on an outpatient basis.
from From Greek 'klinikē,' the art of healing at the bedside — rooted in 'klinē,' a bed or couch (related to 'klinein,' to lean or recline). The Romans borrowed it as 'clinicus,' a physician who attended the bedridden, and curiously a 'clinic' once also meant a deathbed convert, baptized while lying down. French 'clinique' carried the word into modern medicine, where it drifted from the bed itself to the place around it.
