Blog 3: EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION PILL

Today I will talk about contraceptive methods, which are those that prevent or reduce significantly the possibilities of a fertilization or a pregnancy in the sexual relations. The contraceptive methods were instrumental in making decisions about birth control (number of children they want to or not have), pregnancy prevention and in reducing the number of not wished pregnancies and teenage pregnancies. The methods given after sexual relations are called emergency contraception.

These methods are very important to our society because today there are many teenagers who start at an early age, his sex life, and often do not take the necessary measures to prevent a not wished pregnancy, as well as to prevent transmitted infections sexual.

The emergency contraception pill, which is a method that is administered after intercourse, has been a very controversial topic and discussed in the last times in our country, as it has tried to reach an agreement on whether or not abortion . There have been many studies on this subject, and one of them is that performed by Dr. Carlos Valenzuela of the human genetics program at the University of Chile, who in his article mentions the effectiveness of emergency contraceptive pill, "Levonorgestrel" , which would be more effective within the first 24 hours after intercourse, with 56.1% efficiency, whereas if taken thereafter at 25-48 hours after their efficiency decreases to 38.2%.

With regard to the emergency contraception pill, I think that you should not promote people because we must educate the population which are contraceptive methods that exist today, and this is a very important topic for me future as a professional midwife, because our duty is to inform teenagers and anyone who has begun their sex lives about contraceptive methods that are appropriate for them, as well as ensure the development of sexual life as conscious, responsible and healthy as possible.

BLOG 2: Supernatural.

This time I will talk about an American television series that I love "Supernatural", the series is televised on The CW Network. In are now six seasons and will be released soon the seventh season.

This series narrates the exploits of two brothers, Dean and Sam Winchester, who travel throughout the United States in your car Chevrolet Impala black, 1967 model and work investigating and combating paranormal events and unexplained, many of them based on the urban legends American culture, as well as classic supernatural creatures such as vampires, werewolves, ghosts and demons. This work comes from family, since his father John Winchester began with the demons' hunt since his wife died to hands of the demon of the yellow eyes when his children were very young.

When Dean and Sam grew they continued with the search of the demon that killed his mother, since his father also died in his search. Since then, the Winchester brothers in the company of other hunters, some of them friends of the family, have faced all kinds of demons that are protecting the leader of the demons that prevent this meeting, which later knows that it are not anything less than Lucifer.

Lucifer to see that these brothers are killing many demons decides prepare Sam to take his place, as it is in their veins the blood of Lucifer, because it gave her to drink when he was just a baby and then killed her mother.

Later God to see what is happening on Earth, decides to send an angel, Castiel who will have to help and guide the brothers in the search of Lucifer and to prevent Sam from turning into demon, and this way to finish of a good time with so much evil and prevent the deaths of innocent people who are possessed by demons.

Since then there has been an endless fight between the good and evil, where both demons, and hunters have died, coming untied this way such a been afraid Apocalypse.

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.
