- For Sam, I really enjoyed how you related his illnesses relate to his psychological state. You can tell it affects the way he lives and it seems like he likes to take control of his life and environment( his home) but he doesn't let his environment( the world) influence him because he is more content with the routine hes set up for himself. The best part was when you started to reflect on his lifestyle and how you would feel in the same situation. Being so young, we tend to forget about the negative things we do to that impact our body because we heal so quickly. But if we reach the age of 88, all of the damage done to our bodies will be accumulated and its effects will change how we live our lives at that point. Asking these questions of yourself now is good because it makes you think about what choices you want to make with your life before it is too late. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Team member/ peer Sam J.: Amhara I think that you had a good start here. You really caught me off guard when you said that the ER visit happened on christmas eve and it really demonstrated maturity to be able to say that you don't always understand how the medical aspect of it works, but you did know that money can buy better care and in turn, healthiness. It sucks that his friend took longer to recover, but i am curious as to where that came into the story and the story behind it. Elaborate on it?
- Younger Blog Reader Bianca:
- I think that your idea "that money has a crucial effect on your medical coverage in America" is surprisigly true. It seems to be one of the sad true facts of our worls. I really like that you pionted it out even though it was your uncle who was on the reciving end of the situation. I think that you should elaborate on the story of his friend to make the idea clearer. Older Blog Reader Marcus: I agree with your point that money can buy you better health care in this country. although America is supposed to be such a rich country, many poorer countries have a better health care system. however, it seems as if your uncles friend is in bad health in general. I'm not an expert but, if he is obese, wouldn't it take longer for him to get well from any injury or illness?
