Hw 33

I agree 100% with you that dying alone is the most nightmarish practices around illness and dying. To accept death is hard enough but to do it alone is something i wish upon no man. I liked that you asked your reader to imagine what you would feel like if this happened to you. "Just imagine literally being the most scared you have been ever and not having anyone around you to assure you that things will be okay and that they are there for you." It gave me a real connection to what your were talking about.

It 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.

He made a mistake and commented on my comment of Javons post.

I agree with the point that Javon made when he essentially said that some people are beyond help but that doesn't mean that we can't help them emotionally.

The quote I appreciated was "Even when you have health insurance it doesn't cover everything." The reason I liked it was because most teens and young adults are not aware of this fact.

This unit was extremely insightful for Evan. He was aware that problems existed with health care in the US but he did not exactly know the issues. He was totally impressed with the issues of cost and how doctors treat their patients when it comes to end of life decisions.

  1. I agree with the point that Jason made when he essentially said that some people are beyond help but that doesn't mean that we can't help them emotionally.
