For Fear of Misdiagnosis – Health Status
People from all backgrounds, race and ethnicity migrate from one country to another to improve their living conditions or simply explore other parts of the world. As we move through life, are thrown in all directions and our health fails us here and there. People get sick, some are infected through person to person contact because of our constant travel around the world, while others were born with health problems or better yet incurable, diseases that are unknown to many. Each family is faced with the challenge of having at least one person in each household have any health problem. These conditions can vary from cancer, arthritis, Wiskott – Aldrich, a brain tumor to list a few. It is needless to add, many of these diseases usually touch children who are unable to understand the effect of health status in life expectancy.
A parent of a child with the disease Wiskott-for example, can not do anything because there is little he or she can do to help. Wiskott disease is an immunodeficiency disease prevent the body has defense mechanisms that protect unabling infections or bacteria. Children with this condition have prolonged nosebleeds, bleeding gums and blood in your stool. These children are prone to head injuries reason are required to wear a helmet to protect against head injuries. It is rare that someone is given a wrong diagnosis and undergo a massive health treatment, only to discover that what felt they had to begin with, it is not. I have seen countless people always wrong diagnosis in recent years and have seen their pain, anger, frustration and relief when the diagnosis was considered false. I’ve seen X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging with valid results for many patients. After a while I began to wonder about the credibility of the technology.

Strokes are medical emergencies characterized by rapid loss of brain function due to disruptions in the supply of blood to the brain. They are the second most common cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of disability among adults. Because strokes occur suddenly and can quickly be fatal, is very important for stroke victims to be diagnosed and begin treatment immediately. If diagnosis is delayed, the patient may suffer greatly as a result.
Stroke symptoms begin suddenly, often within a few seconds. As the symptoms depend on the part of the brain affected, reaching a specific diagnosis of stroke may require X-rays, CT scans and other tests. Although the specific details of treatment of a patient depends on the outcome may still be possible to determine that a patient is suffering a stroke with physical evidence. For example, sudden onset of weakness on one side of body and speech disturbances are strong indicators of a stroke.
