The word physician often leads to confusion because of its spelling. It has to be remembered, however, that a physician is someone who practices medicine - a qualified doctor - while a physicist is one who carries out scientific research in the field of physics, which deals with the theory of gravity, quantum mechanics, and so on.

To reiterate, a physician is a person who has been trained to carry out a medical check up of a patient, announce the diagnosis of an ailment, and prescribe suitable remedial measures as a form of cure.
