One thing that I really liked in this video is that it touched upon some reasons why some people are not getting tested who are at a higher risk of getting cancer. Some of these issues that they talked about was access to doctors and having health insurance and being able to afford the screenings.
The second point that I found really interesting was that he mentioned that people usually get the screenings done if their doctors recommend it. This I think brings a whole new issue up which is the way in which providers communicate with patients and how the patients understand what is being told. You really need to be having an open line of communication with your provider so you feel comfortable talking about these issues with them, and that your provider is thoroughly going through your personal and your family health history so they are aware at what your risks are.

Moira, this video is really dry/boring but its really informing. I like how you connected your second post to your first post as well as add something visual to it since we have to read so many blogs. More individuals need to be aware of more cancer screenings. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI personally learned a lot from your post and the video. I think that it was necessary to have the video! Think your information was very informing and was easy for me to read and comprehend, great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great post! I learned a lot of information that I did not already know. My family unfortunately has a long line of different types of cancer. Preventive cancer screenings are very important to me to make sure that I am the healthiest I can be within my control. I look forward to your next post!
ReplyDeleteI liked how you started off by greeting your readers. It was very informative and I learned things that I did not about cancer. Your information was easy to comprehend. I enjoyed your post great job !
ReplyDeleteI think that using the CDC is one of the best sources someone trying to educate a group of people about preventive cancer screenings can use. I also really liked the video about the future of screenings because it can give people a sense of hope.
ReplyDeleteI like this post because you posted the video and then explained some very good points after. I think that cancer screenings are very important but it is sad when some people don't have access to healthcare and cannot get those preventative screenings.
