Most people wouldn't think that being too clean could hurt. <br /><br />De'Abrion JoynerDe'Abrion Joynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09529731172818948538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-26272363103526809632018-04-30T09:22:51.005-05:002018-04-30T09:22:51.005-05:00The article that challenged my thinking the most w...The article that challenged my thinking the most was Apoorva Mandavilli's "The Lost Girls".

I selected this article because of all the medical errors made. I find the fact that Maya was misdiagnosed so many times to be wrong. I also think that that’s sad because nowadays people can know what’s wrong with their kids before they’re 10. Finding out at such an old age is heartbreaking to me. It stretches my mind to think that people are often misdiagnosed and with my interest in the medical field I would like to help make sure that seldom happens again.

The extent it took for Maya to be diagnosed and the fact that the text read that studies aren't really done on women with autism truly illustrated the issues women encounter in the world. Women are often not given the same respect, representation etc. that men are and this was just another example of this sad reality.

Maya was misdiagnosed multiple times, and her battle with Asperger's, anorexia, and depression makee her life very hard. She inspired me by completing college through all of her hardships including bullying and social isolation. I often want to give up on my schooling, but after reading what Maya overcame, I was forced to challenge myself and overcome everything in my way.

It was interesting to see that researchers tend to focus on boys while conducting research and that the traits associated with autism in girls is seen as "socially acceptable" for female behavior. I think that researchers need to open there eyes and stop stereotyping what is and what is not female behavior. That is an issue with our world today, we can see this specifically through the portrayal of females in the media, which is why researches may have this assumption. Overall, I enjoyed these blogs a lot as they enhanced my learning and allowed me to learn about topics that I was unaware of! gabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087991653320848888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-1389018111542678402018-04-24T04:00:23.616-05:002018-04-24T04:00:23.616-05:00The article that affected me the most was from Mar...The article that affected me the most was from March 21st. Begin cutting. This article gave me a different perspective on what it takes to be a medical professional. Growing up I was always the person who was grossing out during any science class where we were dissecting but even then I did not really think much into it. After reading various comments made in “Begin Cutting,” I realize the emotional toil it can take on someone in order to suceed in the medical field. I could never imagine cutting into another person, no matter how much money I would make. I give props to whoeever is able to get through such a life changing point in their life. I only hope is that there is some sort of emotional or counseling services specially available to students during that time in their medical education experience, so that they can better get through it and better understand the process. More so of a way of support than anything. <br /><br />-Kytela MedearisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10440153837015220730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-81960581284226847912018-04-23T18:28:54.554-05:002018-04-23T18:28:54.554-05:00The article that challenged my thinking the most w...The article that challenged my thinking the most was, "The Lost Girls." I think we kind of assume that doctors and scientists know all of the answers, but really there is still a lot of mysteries behind science. It also made me realize that although male and females can both suffer from autism, there are more tools for boys than there are for girls. I was really surprised that it took the main character so long to be diagnosed with autism all because she didn't show the same typical symptoms that guys show.It goes to show that we can't assume that everyone's body will react to things in the same way. In addition to that, we still need a lot more research about autism in girls. <br /><br />-Zuriah H.Zuriah Harkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326463715496154749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-35422097987317775992018-04-23T16:33:11.111-05:002018-04-23T16:33:11.111-05:00"Begin Cutting" was an article I will ne..."Begin Cutting" was an article I will never forget and I actually talked to people about it.

Before switching to nursing, I was a Pre-Med student and the fact that they were making light of the bodies that they were beginning to dissect made me uncomfortable at first, before I realized that this might be a necessary practice for doctors because of their work.<br />Doctors have patients in and out - especially ones that work in the ER and everyone does not always make it. Teaching them how to let go of the weight of a situation, I believe, is required to do their jobs effectively. They can not stew over the same patient because it may distract them from present ones. And while it is imperative that they in some way, grieve to feel the severity, they can't allow it to completely consume them. This begins with becoming comfortable or desensitized. And while it may seem inhumane, doctors are people with feelings that they too, may succumb to if not trained accordingly.

This reading opened my eyes to a lot of stigma in the medical community surrounding females and males. In a male dominated culture and extensive research done for men, by men, it was inevitable that a woman or young girl may be looked over because we all do experience things differently. Without the practice or knowledge of this by doctors, it can cause disastrous results. <br />Shardai Jamison-Hampton<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-34374298223293234032018-04-23T13:04:59.914-05:002018-04-23T13:04:59.914-05:00"Her brain rested in a two-gallon plastic buc..."Her brain rested in a two-gallon plastic bucket on the floor.
