Part 1

"Athough electronic health records can save health professionals time and cut hospital costs, implementing these systems will be a challenge. Many hospitals cannot afford them, and physician resistance and the lack of universal standards are also reasons cited by hospitals for not instituting these systems. President Obama’s economic stimulus package, which includes 19 billion for e-health records, might be enough to overcome the barriers to adopting these technologies”

8. Global warming is the increase in the Earth’s temperature as the result of greenhouse gases trapped in the atmosphere. Because of global warming, the average temperature of the Earth could rise as much as 8 degrees, causing sea levels to rise up to 23 inches over this century. (Zakaria,Global warming,2007)I believe that we all have a responsibility to help prevent global warming. A recent report suggests that just by using more efficient appliances, we can have a significant impact on carbon emissions that affect global warming. (Zakaria,Global warming,2007).

9. It’s no secret that the American population is getting fatter, in spite of our cultural obsession with fitness. Public health officials have expressed concern that the obesity “epidemic” is striking Americans of all ages, from very young children to older adults, and are looking to community groups to conduct outreach with at-risk groups. (Turner, T. ,2007 ) Through such efforts we can only hope for a healthier future.

10. Cancer is certainly a terrible disease, and researchers are hard at work attempting to find treatments and cures. However, it can be difficult for patients to figure out what is a legitimate treatment and what is the modern-day equivalent of snake oil, and it can be a source of stress to already burdened patients figuring out what is real medicine.Lowering the levels of copper in the body, eating a specialized organic, vegetarian, macrobiotic diet, and an Irish light therapy are just the kinds of experimental treatments that may have patients and their families scratching their heads.
