Hello all! I added this class
two weeks late, so therefore I am late with this introductory post. My name is
Jaquta Box, but many people call me Jay. I am a Community Health Major (Health
Administration Health planning). I am
taking this class because I decided that one-day I will work for the CDC, or
the World Health Organization and I thought this class would give me a little
insight on Human Diseases, and evolution. I’ve been interested in medicine
since I was 14 years old, and any class that will expand my knowledge about
disease, the human body, science, and medicine is for me. I am hoping to expand
my knowledge about medicine, evolution, and diseases, not only in America, but
in areas all over the world.
List and links to three blogs
that are relevant to this class…
Blog #1
Pain and Surgery in the early
1900’s
Blog #2
Why alternative medicine is
winning out against conventional (Chemical) Medicine
Blog #3
Antibiotic resistance
bacteria
The following blog really
caught my attention, and it moved me and I will explain why…
Blog #3
Antibiotic resistance
bacteria
This article really touched
my heart, and this is one of the reasons why I’m interested in medicine. Knowing that medicine that we have developed over
the years, not being able to work on basic bacterial infections is scary!
Before we created all of these drugs via medicine the mass population was dying
from bacterial infections such as pneumonia, and a lot of post births
infections. Streptococcus pyogenes has been the main cause of death before the
creation of antibiotics. Now that more bacteria is becoming resistance to
antibiotics, we may start seeing an increased rate in deaths among individuals
from a disease that once was easily treated. I wonder if this bacterial disease
became resistance to antibiotics, will these bacterial diseases be considered
viral? This moved me because I would like to research all forms of diseases, it’s
origination, prevention, Tx (Treatment), Dx Diagnosis, and so forth. I do have
an understanding of the saying, “The survival of the fittest”. With this saying in mind, I realize that bacteria
is a living thing, and it will continue to evolve, and adapt to its environment
just like every species. As bacteria is evolving, and trying to survive, I
would like to do the same with the human race. I would like for the human race
to adapt and to survive all forms of diseases, and maintain our dominance, and
survival on earth.
This article make me remember to stay healthy, do proper hand cleaning, and realize that as we as humans adapt, all living things will do the same, or die.
Can someone show me how to post my assignment? Please.
