BLOG 1: My favorite book.

In this opportunity I will talking about the book of Gabriel García Márquez, "Crónicas de una muerte anunciada".

I really liked this book because it tells the story of Santiago Nasar, a man who would be killed, but it was one of the few people who did not know this, because almost all the people who lived in was aware of what would happen.

The twin brothers Pablo and Pedro Vicario due to a misunderstanding were the ones who killed Santiago Nasar, because her little sister Angela Vicario gave his name saying he was guilty of the beating he handed the day that she had married with Bayardo San Román, who returned to their parents to discover that she was not a virgin.

They chose the best two knives, a butcher and another for cleaning, but they were removed in the canteen where they waited for Santiago to kill him, so they went to get two knives that were rusty and wrapped in newspaper. Subsequently these knives sharpened them, weeping as he repeated that they would kill Santiago.

When found he handed seven major injuries that caused a hemorrhage and subsequent death of Santiago.

I had the opportunity to read this book when I was in 1st half at the Liceo Carmela Carvajal, as it was required reading in the subject of Language and Communication.

This book was recommended by the teacher in charge of the subject, and the whole level had to read it because it was evaluated with a test.

This book I found very interesting as it was written by Gabriel García Márquez, who is a well known writer, and also because it tells the story based on a true story of a man who awoke one morning, not knowing that the nightmare had was an omen of his own death, which was known by almost all the people, but still warned him not coming up to finalize the murder of him due to a misunderstanding.

BLOG 9: Last Blog.

Looking around the blogs I've done before I realized that the most frequent mistakes were committed with respect to sentence structure, because many times the word of this was in another position of prayer, so changing the meaning. I also had mistakes in as few words were written according to the meaning of the sentence and technical words, since before the blogs I was not aware of how they were called to the professionals of Obstetrics, and here you can see that called midwives.

When carrying out the blogs I can learn new words, as “midwifery”, “furthermore”, "schedule", “complaint” and also the use of "Too" and "Enough", among others.

In my point of view the topics we discussed in the blogs have been very consistent at the level of English we are also practitioners who are studying, and he has given us the opportunity to project into the future and see what would be our ideal job in that specialty and the conditions under which we would exercise our profession.

Conduct the first blogs I did very elaborate and difficult to achieve what is asked because it made me very difficult to make the structure of the sentence was appropriate and made sense.

Looking at the blogs of my colleagues I have as I realize that many of them have an impressive ability to create interesting stories and understandable to anyone who reads it, and I could see very well follow the instructions and comply with what been asked.

I have learned through the blogs which is very important to know English, as being a future health professional, I have to deal with this language and to understand the documents that are in this language and that are related to the profession I'm studying.

BLOG 8: My Ideal Job.

This time I will talk about which would be my ideal job.

When I graduated as a midwife I would like to work in a public health center, but it was different from that already exist in our country. My ideal would be that this consultorio was a very pleasant, friendly and very natural, to the attention of the user during the process of pregnancy, labor and subsequent recovery unforgettable.

I would like the consultorio was located in an area accessible to all users that want to attend, this place should be surrounded by many green areas, for the very natural environment, quiet and clean air to breathe every day.

The kind of people that I especially would like to attend to those users who do not have accessibility to care at a hospital with many luxuries such as those found today, because these are of very high monetary cost.

I would like to be the boss of this new place to put into practice all the ideas I have in mind of what a cozy and pleasant place to live the beautiful process of pregnancy and childbirth.

I would like to specialize in neonatology as well Puerperium, since both are from my total satisfaction, and because my ideal is that both the newborn and the mother are a natural and very specialized care during their stay in the consultorio.

The responsibility for this new health center would be shared with staff specialized in different areas of Obstetrics and Medical Sciences who would work with me.

The hours at this consultorio would be every day of the week and 24 hours a day in order to make it available to the needs of users.

BLOG 7: GRAMMAR REVIEW

When I woke up on Tuesday June 15 this year, I thought it would be a normal day like any other, but I was wrong ... my watch alarm was sounded at 6:30 am to wake up and go to classes I had that day at the university, but for some reason the alarm did not sound, so I ended up waking up late, at 7:30 am, had already assumed that I would lose the classes had morning.

I was waiting for the bus as usual to go to the University, at any moment an elderly woman, very unkempt and he called a lot of attention while wearing a yellow coat with pink and green stripes, and it was obvious that the coat was too big for her, approached me to ask that he used to get bus to San Jose Hospital, no problem I said, she was very grateful and gave me a keychain gift that said "World Peace" and smiled when she saw him I thanked him.

At that time both happened the bus we were waiting, we deal with other people who were also at the station, inside I found a running mate who was dressing elegantly enough due to the fact that it had a commitment of work, she barely saw the lady with the showy colored coat began to criticize her, saying that a woman of that age should wear colors quite sober and not wearing on his clothes. Unfortunately it was not the only one that thought so, as many people in the bus turned around to see and comment on their attire. I did not want to do any comment since each one is an owner of deciding on that to put of dressing and also because the lady pleased me very much.

BLOG 6: EDUCATION AND PREVENTION

This time I will talk about education and prevention, these activities are very important today in our society because they help us to give people helpful information on a particular topic.

The people can be educated through education plans elaborated by people who specialize in a topic of interest or public concern, these plans can be both exhibitions, as well as interactive. Activities that can be done to educate are workshops or meetings of several sessions for people to be properly informed.

The topics that more treat each other in the area of the health are those who meet major prevalencia in the population, for example: hypertension, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive diseases, between others.

The persons who need this education and prevention are principally those who present a major quantity of factors of risk to hereditary factors suffer them, for example, the sedentarismo, obesity, with habits of high supply in fats, among others. It is also important to provide this education to young people to lead healthier lives so we can prevent these diseases.

The particular issue I'd like to teach, would be how to prevent hypertension, as this is a disease that has increased as the age increases line of people. This disease is due to both biological risk factors (hereditary), as well as to environmental risk factors, such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, foods with high salt content, among others. This disease as it progresses will affect different target organs of our body.

In Chile we have a few years ago with the plan "AUGE", which is prepared by the ministry of health. This plan is renewed and re-evaluated each year to see how the disease evolves in people, as well as, having more treatments to those who suffer.

BLOG 5: GENDER ROLE IN HEALTH CARE

This time I will talk about the role of gender in health care and the difference between men and women in labor.

In my opinion today the differences in the working area of health are not so notorious as they were some years ago, in which only one saw them to be employed to the men, for example in the area of medicine, and women are obviated in this profession because it was frowned upon to work because there was not valued his aptitude to realize it and are encased in their role as housewife.

Today, the women have gained protagonism in the labor that they realize in the attention of the health. Following the example of the career of medicine, although it is made predominantly by men, the women have managed to accede to this profession, to receive the same learning, to study in equality of conditions and to obtain the same recognitions that the men receive.

However, despite performing the same profession and having the same capacity to exercise it, it looks more often than men receive higher salary than women. The same applies to the charges to them by men often exercised most important positions in the Health care facilities to women, is very rare to see a woman doctor is the director of a hospital.

If you have seen a remarkable difference in how patients react to being treated by doctors since ancient times, as I mentioned earlier, knowledge is not valued and did not believe they could do their work as doctors or equal better than a man in this area. Today it is very rare to see a user refuses to be served by a woman doctor, is a clear example that gender differences are decreasing slowly over the years.

BLOG 4: My future as a midwife.

My big dream is to be entitled of midwifery in the University of Chile and to be one of better professionals of the health in this area.

In the future I imagine, working as a midwife in Chile, specifically in the Metropolitan region, either in hospital or in the office, as this might have knowledge of both health systems and to decide which work permanently later.

I would like to work in shifts in both health facilities in the public sector, as well as the private, the ideal would be working during the day in the office attending to the users attending or birth control, and at night be attending hospital emergency departments in the area of obstetrics and delivering babies.

Preferably I would like to work in the public sector, as there are many women who do not have the resources to access private care because in my opinion is closer to the treatment given to pregnant women at the time of going to the consultations or at the time of labor.

Specialization I'd like to follow I have not yet very clear, but I called more attention to the area of neonatology, as I like a lot of babies.

Do not really very interested in having a specific posicion, the most important thing for me is to do my job the best way possible and give the user the best care.
