What might you do or address differently as a result of what you've learned this unit, individually and with your family?
"More people die in hospitals today then anywhere else" this fact caught me completely off guard. Aren't hospitals there for us(patients) to be aided? I understand that not everyone can be saved and that every doctor is not a good doctor but shouldn't the hospital be somewhere we feel safe? This fact help me learn that people have to start putting their lives in their own hands. Majority of Americans think similar to how I thought, that after going to the hospital and being seen by a doctor things should become better. This is not always the case. Our lives and our well being should be our number one priority. Who loves us more than ourselves? We have to learn to be more independent and not leaving everything up to the doctors. Even though everyone is promised to die we can prolong the process, how? We can start by changing to a healthier diet, more exercise, helping to prolong illness. Exercising and dieting are not the simplest task in the world. Since they are not, the most effective way to be successful with this task would be starting the dieting and exercising process slowly. This process can be easily overwhelming , taking this slow will get your body and mind prepared for the task making things more straightforward.
"This process can be easily overwhelming , taking this slow will get your body and mind prepared for the task making things more straightforward. " I found this to be a very intresting statemet. I think this sums up illness and dying as a whole because the process is indeed for most overwhelming. Most cant even ddress the topic.I think Javon you had some great insights, and a overall good post.I wonder are making healthy relationships as important as living a health life or are they even one in the same ?
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to think about one day ending up in a hospital very ill but to prevent ending up there sooner we have to think about what we do to our bodies now. You made an excellent point at the beginning of your post, "Aren't hospitals there for us(patients) to be aided? I understand that not everyone can be saved and that every doctor is not a good doctor but shouldn't the hospital be somewhere we feel safe?" I agree with you but i was not surprised about the fact that"More people die in hospitals today then anywhere else." When ever a person gets sick they go to the hospital and before most people die the are sick so they go to the hospital. The hospital can save people but when people rush to the hospital before their death doctors can't do anything to save their life.
