Controversial Issues

Taking a summer class about Contemporary Health Issues is quiet interesting. It feels kind of cool to have students look up to my thoughts and ideas. I think its because I'm the only one that works in the health care field and I have opinions that I back up with facts (or what I call My opinionated facts).

Some of the topics we discuss are.... 

Should Pro-life providers like pharmacist be able deny prescriptions based on conscience (for example the morning after pill)? 

-does it effect patient care, individual passes the time limit and has to struggle with abortion?

-or do we have to deny our moral rights or limit our career options even though we live in a country stating we have freedom of religion?

Do Religion and Prayer benefit Health?   

-Based on clinical studies, statistics and science cannot measure spirituality and its effects. Some cases prayer proved to help but others case were hopeless

-Case studies that where patients with no hope experience healing due to prayer

Can the Cervical Cancer vaccine for girls be allowed to be mandated by the state?  

-Prevent cancer and spread HPV the can lead to cancer. Protect the human population from a strand of cancer. 

-Or girls have their individual right to decide to receive or decline the vaccine.

Does obesity cause a decline in Life expectancy?  

-Increase the risk of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, hypertension 

-Dieting and supplements are result of these diseases not obesity itself due to the fact that individuals trying to reach the ideal weight, 65% of americans are considered obese or overweight (including Brad Pitt and George Clooney are considered overweight, I thought that was funny). 

Embryonic Stem Cell research? 

-lets just say a super controversial topic 

Well we all have our opinions about these topics and their are no wrong answers because in America we all have the freedom to express our thoughts and beliefs!!!   

Song of the Week

Love Thing Song!!! Been listening to it for the past month and can't get bored of it yet!!! The words have so much meaning behind them, Just an encouraging song!!! Hope you guys like it.

Did you hear of the city on the hill?

Said one old man to the other

It once shined bright and it would be shining still

But they all started turning on each other

You see, the poets thought the dancers were shallow

And the soldiers thought the poets were weak

And the elders saw the young ones as foolish

And the rich man never heard the poor man speak

And one by one, they ran away

With their made up minds, to leave it all behind

And the light began to fade, in the city on the hill

The city on the hill

Each one thought that they knew better

That they were different by design

Instead of standing strong together

They let their differences divide

And one by one, they ran away

With their made up minds, to leave it all behind

And the light began to fade, in the city on the hill

The city on the hill

And the world is searching still

But it was the rhythm of the dancers

That gave the poets life

It was the spirit of the poets

That gave the soldiers strength to fight

It was the fire of the young ones

It was the wisdom of the old

It was the story of the poor man

That needed to be told

It is the rhythm of the dancers

That gives the poets life

It is the spirit of the poets

That gives the soldiers strength to fight

It is the fire of the young ones

It is the wisdom of the old

It is the story of the poor man

That's needing to be told

One by one, we'll be running away

With our made up minds to leave it all behind

As the light begins to fade, in the city on the hill

The city on the hill

One by one, we'll be running away

With our made up minds, to leave it all behind

As the light begins to fade, in the city on the hill

The city on the hill

Come home

And the Father's calling still

Come home

To the city on the hill

Come home 

Overwhelmed

Ever feel like there is just too much going on in your life?  

Well, lately i've been having that feeling. Just not enough time in the day!!! Church, Work, exams, college and just life is just too much, so I decided to blog about it. I practically look like this man except without that evil look... hehehe. 

There is a remedy for these moments: just sit back, closes your eyes and listen to some music. And Relax!!! 

To all college students: I hope you have a great rest of the semester!!!! Good Luck!!!!

Song of The Day!!!

Song of the Day!!!!

This song has been stuck in my head all day. And if you know me it's always only a sentence of the song that gets repeated over and over in my head. The sentence today is... "You can take away the very air that i've been breathing, But you can't take away my God, oh my God....." Such important words!!!

Well this song has been stuck in my head since yesterday night after my night chemistry class. I was listening to my ipod while driving home and for some reason this song just got stuck in my head. I've listened to this song like a million times but yesterday this song really touched me. The words are so strong!!!

Based on the my recent life's situations, I feel like many thing have been recently lost and taken away from me. And since i'm a really reserved person I cannot share my ultimate innermost feelings. But this sentence from this song is so powerful. It states that the world or who ever it might be, can take away everything from us (thing that are very close to our hearts) but they cannot take away our God. So we can still hope and have faith for the future because God never can be taken away from us. So through hard times went it seem like there is no hope, Our God is still here with us to protect and give us faith!!!!

So "You can take away the very air that i've been breathing.... But you can't take away My God!!!. Oh my God...."

So we will make it!!!! See ya guys later ;-)

My one of my plans for my upcoming New York City trip is to go to the Rockefeller Center iceskating rink this November. I've always wanted to go there one day!!!! Its just looks so romantic and stuff. I hope my expectations are not to high cause I really want to enjoy this place!!
