Day 3: Something I find interesting

Picking just one thing that is interesting to me is hard because I find pretty much everything interesting to an extent.  The thing that I find the most interesting though is probably anything to do with the human body, and treating ailments, and hospitals.  This is probably thanks to the many relatives that I have had go in and out of the hospital.  From car accidents, pneumonia, cancer, births, and deaths, I have seen a lot in visiting family in hospitals.


I have been so curious during some procedures that the doctors have actually told me to sit still and they would just tell me everything they were doing.  X-Rays, MRI's, CT scans, and ultra sounds are incredible.  I mean you can actually see the inside of your body and how it works before your eyes.  How cool is that?!


In fact I have been SO incredibly lazy today watching the TLC show Untold Stories of the E.R.  While I know that some parts of the show are dramatized for reenactment purposes the stories are quite fascinating.  I say fascinating because some of the things that are shown on the show are things that doctors don't generally see during their entire lifetime of treating patients.


The thing that I love the most about medicine and hospitals is that each patient is to be treated the same.  There is no room for judgement, racism, and hatred.

  1. I find it very interesting that God created this wonderful thing (the human body) and with it gave us a brain and the freedom to learn. It is amazing what man has learned during my lifespan. I wonder what we will learn next.
