What is a medical condition? A medical condition falls into three or more categories, the most common one is disease. For example, Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that you will always have once you are diagnosed with it. When you have a disease now, you go for treatment. But when there was no treatments for diseases they just let you die on a bed or during the aztecs they ripped your hearts outs. Then decorated the ancient temples with the human blood. Now with diseases as I said you can go get treatment like you can get prescriptions go to group therapy and have special doctors. For treatment for people who do not already have diseases you can get injections for your body, so you are allowing small dosages of the disease. So if you do get the disease later on your …show more content…
Most people who had tragic accident usually have some brain damage. When you are born with a mental or physical disorder your brain will not entirly be fully developed. Some times when you are born some parts of your brain are shut off and never come back on. Like when you have memory loss, your frontlobe holds all the long term and short term memories. As for when you have a physical disorder either your brain just doesn’t allow a part or limb of your body to work properly. For example, spina bifidia is a physical disorder that doesn’t allow you to walk, so the lower section in your back doesn’t allow your legs to work with the movent of your back. The final category that I’m gonna talk about is Illness. Illness is either a disease or you are temporarlly sick, also the sickness will pass with in a week or a couple of days. There is a few very common illnesses that we get. For example, every year the chinease oranges come around christmas time as a tradition. There are things we are not used to, but you think we should be by now. Because every year they come people seem to get sick or getthe
The interest group that I have chose is a group called the American Medical Association. American Medical Association main purpose is have better physicians and health facilities to help citizens achieve better health throughout the nation. The association tries to achieve these goals by creating medical schools to educate better physicians. Lastly the association is working hard to prevent the nations most common diseases, which are type 2 diabetes and heart disease. I have decided to choose this interest group because my goal in life is to become a certified registered nurse anesthetist. Going to the medical field makes myself interested with what the government is
Hi my name is Dr. Allen and I am from the Pediatric Orthopedic Department. Today I want educate you on the most common diseases and conditions that we see here in this department. Our first condition we will discuss is Kyphosis (curvature of the spine). Kyphosis (curvature of the spine) is a condition in which the curve in the spine is measuring 50 degrees or greater. Kyphosis (curvature of the spine) can be congenital (present at birth) or it can be something that develops later in life. If a child is not born with the curvature in the spine, the cause of Kyphosis (curvature of the spine), can be a number of things ranging from Spina bifida (split spine), Osteogenesis

Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Centre provided me with life lessons I will never forget—kindness and humbleness. Spending my free time in this facility has given me bliss. The patients became my family; I knew their families, their kids, and even their grand-kids. I spent hours getting to know these patients—their stories, their likes, their dislikes. It was refreshing to do their errands, to help them, to feed them, to care for them. At this hospital I learned more than what the doctors and nurses do. I learned more than the mechanics of a hospital. I learned about the patients. I learned what I want to do in life. I learned that eventually I would like to become a medical doctor—to combine my love of biology and assisting
The Department’s Representative LB testified that the Appellant filed an application for MA and HCBS in February 2017. The Application was initially submitted electronically and then a paper application was received. The MA/HCBS combination application was initially denied for failure to provide verification of an emergency medical condition. The Department realized that the Appellant had case activity on two different record numbers therefore, requested new medical information and the application was reviewed again. The IMCW testified that on April 25, 2017, the medical information was received and sent to the Office of Long Term Living (OLTL) for a determination; the following day, they requested additional medical
In this consolidated learning paper, I will discuss a particular event that I experienced Running head: CONSOLIDATED LEARNING
The medical experience topic I would like to explore and discuss is the ulnar nerve, a large and important nerve, and the anatomical and physiological sequelae of damage to it. The topic is based on my own experience. In 2010, I suffered a severe laceration of my left arm near the wrist, which, fortunately, was able to be treated and partially relatively quickly. This is part of the reason that I was medically retired from the Army in 2012, for combat-related injuries. The ulnar artery of that arm and several interossial tendons were also severed. The artery was ligated (tied), and the nerve was repaired
While taking Medical Terminology we had a competency project that included 10 case reports that contained about 5-7 bolded words and 2-3 bolded and underlined abbreviation. Each word had to be broken down by prefix, root and suffix, followed defining each word part to create a definition. For the abbreviation we had to define the meaning of each abbreviation.
Since the 8:00 AM appointment that I was scheduled to observe was cancelled, Sarah spent a half hour with me sharing the details of the three very different patients they were to see that morning. Although they were all males, they ranged in age from 2 – 12 years old, one being a new referral and the other two follow-up appointments. After this instructive conversation, I then observed one of the follow-up appointments with a 12-year-old patient with partial trisomy 15Q who came to the visit with his adoptive mother. This patient is very medically complex and currently followed by many disciplines in the hospital, including Developmental Pediatrics, Urology, Colorectal, Psychology, Pulmonology, ENT, Endocrinology, Orthopedic Surgery, PT, Neurology and Audiology, in addition to a community ophthalmologist. Even though he participates in an age-appropriate, sixth grade classroom, his mother reports that his adaptive behaviors and intellectual functioning are commensurate with a 4-5 year-old.
SLE can also have systemic or constitutional symptoms. These symptoms can mimic other autoimmune diseases. Common symptoms elicited by history include fever, fatigue, weight loss, lymphadenopathy, hair loss, myalgia, and arthralgia. There are many reports of these nonspecific symptoms with or without rash occurring after sun exposure. (2, 25)
Imagine that over the course of the last four years a strange disease killed half of the people in the United States. The mysterious illness caused those inflicted to cough up blood and pus, and blood-filled growths to develop on their bodies. The disease spread easily from person to person and though doctors gave a lot of advice, nothing worked to stop it.
This morning I am working 7a.m.-7p.m., on a really active Orthopedic Medical/Surgical unit in the hospital. I am assigned 7 patients today. I am of speaking on the phone to a physician about his client who has a history of Myocardial Infarction, Hypertension, and Hypercholesterolemia. The client’s vital signs had become unstable and he coded 10 minutes ago. I concluded with the physician that I called the Rapid Response Team, and that they are currently responding to his client. The physician has indicated that he would be in as soon as he can. I hung the phone up, and heard a loud distinct thump sound. I truly believe most nurses who have unfortunately heard that thump sound, definitely knows that sound is from a patient who has fallen

Learning medical terminology is very similar to learning a new language. Everything is all new especially when you are not use to speaking anything medically; the language will come naturally when you learn the terms, and know them. You have to know and learn how to speak them fluently. Knowing them will come from studying and learning them but speaking them correctly is going to take time and practice. I plan to know them by practicing on speaking the medical terms, words, and procedures by making flash cards and listening to the medical terms and everything I learn medically. You want to make sure you can at least explain what you are trying to say while transitioning to the medical language and knowing the basic is not going to cut it since
