hw 32
The illness and dying unit was very interesting because there are so many aspects to illness and dying which is something we tend to ignore in general. There are so many practices and processes that we follow almost roboticly with out really learning about what we are doing. Because we learned about the healthcare system I felt I was able to understand illness and dying and the handling of this in our society. I always thought of the doctor and medicine and the healthcare system in general as something that was obviously corrupted but could be effective if it was actually for the benefit of people. There is much more to it than this, by studying what the healthcare system actually focuses on as well as all the incentives of, and relationships between those in power really opened my eyes to how terrible our healthcare system truly is.

Your most beautiful line was, " I always thought of the doctor and medicine and the healthcare system in general as something that was obviously corrupted but could be effective if it was actually for the benefit of people." This is very interesting to me why did you think the healthcare system was corrupt before? How did you know was it personal experience, or did a friend or family member inform you. Had it not been for this unit I probably wouldn't have even known this until my adult years. Overall nicely done Omar way to be concise.
