The Importance Of Non-Paid Work Experience

The health benefits of tobacco have only recently been brought into the light. As a new area of research, few sources have extensive knowledge of the subject. Some of the few studies have shown that tobacco can be used to fight certain forms of cancer, prevent Parkinson’s disease, and battle obesity. Doctor William Campbell Douglass, “who himself smokes 3 to 4 cigars a day,” has spent years unraveling the mysteries of tobacco. Doctor Douglass’ explanations pointed to several statistics indicating moderate smoking can improve conditions of patients suffering from specific forms of cancer (Douglass). He also describes a study which shows that women who smoked regularly were at a risk that was 54% lower than women who did not smoke (Douglass). Several other independent studies have also proven the benefits of tobacco. A 2010 study published

10-33 363 on page 10,2nd sentence, “The examiner noted that the Veteran’s claims file had not been reviewed. The veteran stated that he had been diagnosed with cervical strain in 2005 after being rear-ended in a parking lot, but the pain had resolved within weeks”. Which I DID NOT SAY. This the only proof the doctor have, maybe he misunderstood or gotten my words twisted, but I repeated I never said I was diagnosed or rear end in a parking lot. I never was rear-ended in anyone parking lot. What I told the examiner was when I was on my way back from Iraq the VA examiner diagnose me with a cervical strain from all the convey trips. (See DA Form 638, APR 2006 Achievement #3). This is the first and only time I ever been diagnosis with any neck injury or problem by a VA doctor. Docket No. 10-33-363 dated March 04, 2013 on page 3 last paragraph, “In this case, the Veteran was afforded a VA general medical examination in September 2008 for his orthopedic claims, including the neck. At that time, the Veteran reported that he injured his neck in November 2007, when a blast while riding in a Humvee threw his head against a window. The Veteran reported ongoing pain that he described as 8 out of 10. Following examination and testing, the examiner diagnosed cervical strain. The examiner, however, did not offer an opinion as to the etiology of the neck disability.” Continue on page 4 Docket No. 10-33-363 dated March 04, 2013, “Based on the

I was also unable to navigate my own vehicle to the hospital from excruciating pain and assisted by my younger brother. I was not discharged from HackensackUniversity Hospital until Friday, 7/22/2016 at 5:30am which I followed at 10am in contacting Joann requested a sick day. The pain did not decrease and remained through the weekend where I was unable to perform any workload. I was finally able to have some sensation and movement on my left arm on Monday, 7/25/2016 in which I notified CMS I was not able to complete any work from home and provided hospital discharge documentation. I attempted to complete as much paperwork in a timely manner while still experiencing pain. I acknowledge the tardiness in workload; however, felt my health wasn't taken into consideration. I also maintained consistent communication with

2) a. In the workplace everyone should have equal opportunity to advance in their line of work. Employers should not discriminate anyone who tries for the job. In this case, the veteran wants to apply for a supervisory position. With the details about him suffering from back pain do to his Vietnam conflict experiences, employers most likely would not promote him. However, under the Americans with Disabilities Act, employers are not allowed to discriminate anyone based on a disability. So in this case, employers have to see past the disability and focus on his credentials and skills.

Some veterans who become disabled cannot return to their prior professions after being discharged from the military due to severe handicaps. The VA has set up job placement programs and extended education if the veteran qualifies. The vocational rehabilitation program provides the guidance needed from councilors who help administer interest and aptitude tests to steer the veteran into a compatible career field. Depending on the veteran’s aptitude test, it will determine if they qualify for vocational training or monetary compensation to further their educational goals. In rare cases, a veteran can apply for a small business loan instead of seeking vocational rehabilitation. The veteran must provide an in-depth business plan and have the education or vocational training to be deemed competent in their business endeavor. To qualify for this service the veteran must have a disability rating of ten percent and have another than dishonorable discharge

During my sixth week doing the internship at the DOL (VETS), the team and I was looking at students resumes to see who are the best candidates to be potential interns and work studies for the summer semester. All the spring interns are graduating this year in May. The outreach team wants to get students that are responsible and willing to help the veterans.

Other concerns are related to tobacco use. Most patients in the hospital use some type of tobacco product, and most readmissions to the hospital are related to COPD exacerbations, asthma exacerbations, and pneumonia in patients that use tobacco products. It seems that tobacco cessation would

Smoking rates are particularly high among patients diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a mental health condition triggered by a traumatic event (Hawkins & Cougle, 2013). Most research on the relationship between PTSD diagnoses and smoking rates usually consider the disorder to be uniform in nature with a comprehensive symptom diagnosis. On the contrary, the disorder involves a multi-dimensional compilation of cognitive and behavioral manifestations (Greenberg et al., 2012). The inappropriate diagnostic generalization has hindered the examination of specific symptoms that could be

My new present illnesses, consists of obstructive sleep apnea (CPAP), heart condition (PTCA STENT), cardiac catheterization, hypertension, and cholesterol/dyslipidemia.

In the community assessment of San Fernando valley part, A, it was mentioned that there are many chronic illnesses such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes and obesity that are caused by poor health management, high cost of healthcare and inadequate knowledge of the disease. One factor that could cause these chronic diseases is the Tobacco usage among adults. According to Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) (2017), Smoking may cause cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease, diabetes and COPD which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Albert Schweitzer once said, “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success.” Voluntary work is work that is done by choice, but the title “voluntary” does not always make sense because sometimes voluntary work needs to be done which can be frustrating at times. For example, some schools require that students do a number of hours before they are allowed to graduate. That does not sound voluntary, does it? Does that emphasize the fact the happiness needs to be present to succeed? Benefits of volunteer work include being qualified for more scholarships, being a role model to others, and gaining more experience in certain fields.

Smoking has broad consequences for the US military, including adverse effects on the readiness of its forces, the health and welfare of its beneficiaries, and the costs incurred from health care and lost productivity. It affects military readiness by impairing physical performance and endurance, vigilance and cognitive function, risk of motor vehicle collisions and other unintentional injuries, and increasing work absenteeism.1 The effects of tobacco on the health and welfare of military beneficiaries include not only long-term consequences such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and cancer, but also short-term effects such as respiratory effects, impaired wound healing, periodontal disease, and peptic ulcer disease.2 Tobacco use accounts for one-sixth of the deaths which occur among DoD beneficiaries, primarily among retirees.3 The estimated costs resulting from tobacco use to the DoD exceed $1 billion per year.3,4
