The article outlines “medical breakthroughs” of 2007, mainly in the areas of cancer,
osteoarthritis, and strokes. Many of the “breakthroughs” should now be standard
procedure with a thorough medical check up.
I wonder howmuch this kind of popular article influences people’s own health awareness?
Howmany of these “breakthroughs”will produce profits for the pharmaceutical companies?
About 25 minutes
Because of the format of several small sections, I skimmed the piece quickly. I did go back to
read a few sections more carefully and followed up on some of the links, but the article was not
challenging enough to engage me very deeply.
The underlying message seems to be that we should all be advocates for our own health,
especially women in the “sandwich” generation, who tend to ignore their own health. This
very much echoes the experience I’m accumulating in working with public health even in my
currently limited role.
I’d like to do a researched essay on how people get their medical information, and whether or
not this makes themmore vocal advocates for their own health care.
