Health

There were actually a number of different insights I gained from the media related to this assignment as they related to actually working as a healthcare professional in a time of national or even global crisis. Foremost of all, I learned how valuable it is to make the proper diagnosis of potential outbreaks. Many of the symptoms of infectious diseases and those that arise from lack of sanitary conditions (such as those that occur following a national disaster) are actually the same.

Although there is a good deal that one can learn from merely interviewing the various patients or victims, it is important to initially have a good understanding of the sorts of outbreaks are present and of their symptoms. Thus, even though many symptoms might be similar, a health care professional in this situation could have a good starting point to help him or her save time.

One of the things I personally would be comfortable doing as a health professional is working in a role similar to that of Digby Stuart in the media. Stuart worked directly for the World Health Organization….....
