Medical Career Research Paper
The medical field is a career path that brings about many options and opportunities of great value. The noble idea of being a doctor tends to cloud
the diligent studying and precise training that is actually required for this career. I have wanted to become a doctor since a very young age, and now
that the opportunity is here for the taking, I have fully researched what it takes to succeed in this profession and various specialties of the practice.
The road to a medical degree is one filled with thousands of notes, years of schooling, and many stressful nights, but the reward is one incomparable
to any other. Saving people's lives on a day–to–day basis has been one of my dreams for as long as I can remember, so the rigorous curriculum...show

The hardest decision for medical students is narrowing their studies to a specific field. With so many different options, I researched several
different fields that appealed most to me. With each field comes entirely new and unique training, but each practice is just as demanding as the next.
After the long road of medical school and the selection of a practice is complete, each student must complete a residency. A resident student is a
student with a medical degree, who is practicing their specific field under a licensed doctor. Generally, residencies last from 3 to 5 years and usually
the final stage before one can practice on their own. Each step along the road to becoming a doctor is more and more competitive and demanding as
the last. A medical practice that I have highly considered is generalsurgery. Both my grandfather and uncle are general surgeons, so the idea of
following in their footsteps interested me greatly. Also, the idea of combining science and art, as doctors do, has always fascinated me and called
me to this profession since a very young age. Like any doctor, the road to becoming a general surgeon is vigorous. "Surgery is a career for the
committed. Much of your life is dictated by the demands of the operating room. The training is long and demanding. But for those who love it, a

Medical Case Study And Analysis
Medical Case Study and Analysis A lot of people around us suffer from different medical conditions each day. It is important for everyone to be able
to assess basic medical reports and make a quick diagnosis. In this paper, we will be conducting three different case studies relating to
pathophysiological case studies, in order to understand different medical terms related to some very common medical conditions.
Case Study–1 The first case study we will be analysing is a 60–year–old male patient named Mr. John Smith. It was noted that recently he has been
experiencing strong chest pain, and the onset pain was described as sudden. Also, no vital signs were noted and the patient had no previous medication
history. And also, it has been...show more content...
Further, we would recommend to the patient to have an electrocardiogram (ECG) test, in order to be sure that the pain is not a cause of any
heart–related problems. We would also recommend the patient perform basic physical exercises, as this would be helpful to relieve them of anxiety
and panic (Richardson, 2012). The patient's caretaker should monitor him carefully and contact the health care center if he displays any sudden
condition of anxiety or panic attack.
Case study–2 The subject of our next case study is a twenty–one–year–old female, who is presented with a shortness of breath after completing a
training session. The patient is noted to be producing an audible wheeze when breathing. The patient is noted to be currently suffering from asthma and
speaks only in short sentences. Her vital signs include using Ventolin inhaler. Paramedic report shows that herpulse rate is 140 bpm, which should have
been between 70–100 bpm. Higher pulse rate indicates that the person is prone to sudden asthma attacks (Dawson, 2014), especially after any
physical event. Her blood pressure is 130/70, where we can see that her diastolic pressure is low. Her respiratory rate is 40 bpm, this is a highly
dangerous rate for any adult, as respiratory rate should be between 12–20 for any adult. This indicates that she is suffering from Tachycardia, which is
verified through her ECG reports. Tachycardia is a common type of heart rhythm disorder, where she beats faster than usual

Medical Terminology Essay
In my paper I will be discussing what medical terminology is, where it came from, and how it is applied to medical assistant careers as well as
how it is applied to medical administration careers. I will give examples of the importance of medical terminology and specific examples of where
medical careers use medical terminology on a day to day basis. I will also give a brief summary and definition of what medical terminology stands
for. After reading my paper you should have a good concept of medical terminology's importance, use, and why medical terminology is not just
applied to medical assisting jobs but also why it is important for medical administration employees to also be familiar and have a good grasp on

Decoding is very important because then it becomes easier to understand medical terminology. You should first break down the word by evaluating
the meaning of the suffix, then prefix, and then the word root. This will in able a worker to identify what it is that is going on and be able to describe
it to their patient and to the doctor or physician when asked. But first the worker needs to have a good sense of the origin of words which is called
etymology. (Theirer & Breitbard, 2007, p. 1–4)Once you have the basic rules down you should be able to put words together and take them apart by
decoding them. You also need to make sure that the spelling and pronunciation are correct because if a medical term is used incorrectly, it can become
very dangerous and sometimes life threatening because you diagnose wrong procedures and medication. It creates a communication for health care
professionals to make sure that a patient is treated with the highest amount of service and to ensure that they are being treated with the right
medication. Decoding is essential but the father of medicine also wrote the Hippocratic Oath. In this Oath physicians are meant to promise to practice
medicine the right way. To make sure their pronunciation and spelling was always accurate and correct. The Oath has been in use for over two
thousand years and physicians and doctors are to follow the Oath to the best

The main discussion of this paper will be the focus of the three phases in the history of the medical practice: when doctors and patients both did not
know much about sickness, the dissatisfaction and frustration of patients due to the advanced diagnostic and scientific knowledge, and doctors and
their medical encounters. Cynthia Hagstrom examined interactions during office visits, specifically close–ended and open–ended questions that are
directed by doctors to their patients. She suggests that different questions types can enhance or hinder the knowledge possibly being gained by the
doctor. Another topic examined is the conversational asymmetry between physicians and their patients due to technical knowledge. Another type of

The history of medicine can be broken down into three different period: the traditional period (1750–1850), the modern period (1880–1950), and the
post–modern period (1960 to modern). Starting with the traditional period where the ability to treat diseases were limited. The training to become a
doctor was not extensive with just an apprenticeship. Patients had very little belief that physicians had any type of special knowledge, and doctors
were only called upon as a last resort. Doctors had very little training, but could administer strong drugs. The reality was that very little could be done
for disease very long ago, and so terrible symptoms were tolerated. The modern period brought many scientific techniques that made is possible for
doctors to diagnose and treat many patients. The tools invented during this period include: stethoscope, microscope, blood pressure cuff, and
electrocardiogram. Bacteria was also identified as a cause of disease. With the connection of drugs (aspirin, quinine, insulin) to the treatment of patients,
patients began presenting themselves as objects to be treated and healed. Medical school began offering specialize training for doctors, and successful
treatment of many patients led to a social incline in the community for doctors. Post–modern period showed a major shift in attitudes towards doctors.

A Look Into the Medical Profession Essay
1.Introduction
I'm interested in becoming a doctor. I'm not sure what type of doctor, but I hope that this project will help me decide.
2.The History and Development of Medicine There were many developments in ancient medicine due to the fact that people get injured and get
diseases. In prehistoric times, people used herbs as healing agents. When tribes were formed and the caste system enacted, there were shamans or
apothecaries who were the healers. In 700 B.C., there was a medical school in Cnidus that is the first known Greek medical school that started the idea
of observing patients. The Greek centers of medical advice, prognosis, and healing were dedicated temples to their healer–god Asclepius. At these
shrines, patients...show more content...
Andreas Vesalius challenged accepted folklore by using scientific evidence. Vesalius started the development of modern neurology by studying the
human brain. The Industrial Era saw the start of lunatic asylums. Emil Kraepelin (1856–1926) introduced new medical categories of mental illness,
which eventually came into psychiatric usage despite their basis in behavior rather than pathology or etiology (Wikipedia). In the 1920s, psychiatry
was opposed by surrealists who expressed their opposition through a number of surrealist publications. Several controversial medical practices were
introduced in the 1930s, including inducing seizures by means of electroshock, insulin or other drugs, or cutting parts of the brain apart for the studies
called leucotomy and lobotomy.
3.Future Economic and Growth Trends of Physicians According to Student doc, the average familyphysician makes $204,000, the average pediatrician
makes 175,000, the average neurologist makes $228,000, the general surgeon makes
$291,000, the average dermatologist makes $308,000, the average psychiatrist makes $169,000, the average anesthesiologist makes $311,000, and the
average ER makes $216,000. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the number of physicians and surgeons employed in 2008 was 661,400. In
2018, that number should increase to 805,500, which is a difference of 147,100 or 22%

Medical Issues : Medical Problems
Medical Problems: Why People Avoid Going do to a Doctor and what does that lead to? One of the more recent issues of today's healthcare is the
fact that many people avoid going to a doctor or a physician, whether they have a medical problem or not. Even for a routine checkup, people
generally avoid doctors. It began as a growing phenomenon in the developing countries but has now spurred across borders towards the developed
world as well. This paper examines, in detail, the various reasons why people with medical problems avoid going to the doctors and the detrimental
health effect it causes to them. First of all, it is pertinent to highlight the fact that nobody knows for sure that how many people avoid going for
medical visits and routine checkups, why do they do so or whether or not it causes their health to deteriorate further. There are no national statistics
and empirical data when understanding and tracking the delays in healthcare industry. This makes the understanding of behavioral patterns and
attitudes towards healthcare and medical visits difficult. However, public health experts all across the globe are agreed upon the fact that many
people with money, health insurance and access to good medical resources are voluntarily avoiding checkups and medical tests and visits. Health
experts have hypothesized a few causes as to why people with medical conditions avoid going to the doctor. Health experts list the fear of being

Medical Advances
Besides the computer revolution, medical advances have caused tension between faith and reason. The medical advances of the Twentieth Century
have many beneficial effects for humanity. Diseases that used to be dangerous or life threatening, like mumps, measles, and whooping cough, are no
longer worries in todays medical world. Tetanus, typhoid, and the bubonic plaque can now be treated with antibiotics or other medicines. Vaccines,
especially the polio vaccine, freed many people from the effects of a disease. Advances in heart surgery and organ transplants have saved many lives.

This will tremendously benefit farmers who raise livestock, and cloning of the superior animals will also make the food supply healthier and larger in
this growing world. Other advances in medical technology deal with the preborn and postborn babies and prolonging life techniques. Prenatal
technology and obstetrics have allowed babies to be born as early as twenty–two weeks after conception. Life support systems have helped to prolong
lives and have even supported people in comas who have "woken up" after many years. However, these medical advances have been questioned as to
whether they really are "advance." Many of these new medical techniques conflict with peoples faith in medical ethics and with their religious beliefs,
especially Catholicism. A debate about the extent to which humans are allowed to "play God" to destroy, alter, or create life forms has risen. Most
of the new controversial medical procedures have become accepteed in this impersonal, technological world, but many people do not believe these
procedures are really "progress." Many people believe that Church should be the driving force in the fight against AIDS. Robert K. Gray in "Some
Diseases Are Less Equal Than Others": The War Against AIDS (1990) states that "the pulpit of the Catholic Church is the mightiest of weapons"
against the spreading of AIDS and against the hate that evolves for AIDS victims.(6) However, most people who have AIDS were contaminated by

Essay on Medical Research
Should medical research be continued when many couldn 't afford it?
Science has advanced by leaps and bounds over the years, with much of the results are achieved through plenty of research and knowledge. One of the
areas of research where we spend the most funds on is medical research. With the rise of poverty and healthcare costs, complaints on expensive
medical research being a waste of funds have arose. The thoughts behind these complaints are that the result of these researches benefit more to some
parties–such as medical institutions for the profit they might get, a country for its 'name ', and the researchers for their satisfaction– instead of the
public, and how massive amount of funding have been allocated for medical research...show more content...
Preventative medicine is one of the most important discoveries in the history of medicine. Diseases that were once common are now very rare
because of this type of medicine, or normally called 'vaccine '. For instance, the research into polio vaccines spent a significant amount of funds, but it
was a wonderful success. Additionally, the price for the vaccine is very reasonable, showing that medical research doesn 't always result in expensive
treatments. The medications for dengue fever has found thanks to medical research. However, intensive experiments have found an evidently cheaper
and easily obtainable natural medication, which is papaya leaf juice. It is also notable that along with the progression of the medical sector, healthcare
costs and medicines for many common illnesses are now cheaper than they were in the past. With new discoveries regarding the substances used to
make the medicines, less expensive substances are used and therefore making them cheaper and more accessible.
It is also to be considered that if we disallow a research for continuing just because of expenditure reason, we risk destroying its value entirely. For
example, the research into cancer has gone for a long period. It is a pity to stop it because that would mean destroying the value of ongoing multi–year
studies. Even though it is true that current research hasn 't resolved the issues of cancer and other 'currently incurable ' diseases, there is no

knowledge to explain statements in a manner that helps patients decipher their bill without sounding condescending. Solo–practitioner and small

The Developing Techniques Of The Medical Field Within In The United States
The phrase "going to the doctor" is commonly used among people of all ages and from all backgrounds. It sounds as if a trip to the doctor is similar

It also gives hope for the future of what we can do to increase the survival rate. We have progressed so far it's astounding, there is good reason on why
we will continue to progress medically. One of these medical techniques that has been improved in years past is the control of infectious diseases. Since
the beginning of the 20th century infectious diseases have dropped substantially compared to years prior. We have been able to focus on hygiene,
vaccinations, and improving our antibiotics. Thanks to the developments in technology and these techniques the average life expectancy has
dramatically increased by 29.2 years ("Ten Great Public Health Achievements of the 20th Century"). Fortunately, and somewhat unexpectedly, this not
only helped the adults, but it favored the children as well. The progress that we have made just within the last 100 years has been extraordinary. It is
especially difficult to understand why this trend will not continue; our technology and techniques will continue to grow. Along with our understanding
of the medical fields itself. It does not end with just physical health related issues. One of the many medical problems we have progressed on and
continue to progress on is mental health. "Nearly 90% of adults in America value mental health"("Survey Finds that Americans Value Mental Health
and Physical Health Equally") Our understanding on mental health is continuing

Medical Career Research Paper

  • 1. Medical Career Research Paper The medical field is a career path that brings about many options and opportunities of great value. The noble idea of being a doctor tends to cloud the diligent studying and precise training that is actually required for this career. I have wanted to become a doctor since a very young age, and now that the opportunity is here for the taking, I have fully researched what it takes to succeed in this profession and various specialties of the practice. The road to a medical degree is one filled with thousands of notes, years of schooling, and many stressful nights, but the reward is one incomparable to any other. Saving people's lives on a day–to–day basis has been one of my dreams for as long as I can remember, so the rigorous curriculum...show more content... The hardest decision for medical students is narrowing their studies to a specific field. With so many different options, I researched several different fields that appealed most to me. With each field comes entirely new and unique training, but each practice is just as demanding as the next. After the long road of medical school and the selection of a practice is complete, each student must complete a residency. A resident student is a student with a medical degree, who is practicing their specific field under a licensed doctor. Generally, residencies last from 3 to 5 years and usually the final stage before one can practice on their own. Each step along the road to becoming a doctor is more and more competitive and demanding as the last. A medical practice that I have highly considered is generalsurgery. Both my grandfather and uncle are general surgeons, so the idea of following in their footsteps interested me greatly. Also, the idea of combining science and art, as doctors do, has always fascinated me and called me to this profession since a very young age. Like any doctor, the road to becoming a general surgeon is vigorous. "Surgery is a career for the committed. Much of your life is dictated by the demands of the operating room. The training is long and demanding. But for those who love it, a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Medical Case Study And Analysis Medical Case Study and Analysis A lot of people around us suffer from different medical conditions each day. It is important for everyone to be able to assess basic medical reports and make a quick diagnosis. In this paper, we will be conducting three different case studies relating to pathophysiological case studies, in order to understand different medical terms related to some very common medical conditions. Case Study–1 The first case study we will be analysing is a 60–year–old male patient named Mr. John Smith. It was noted that recently he has been experiencing strong chest pain, and the onset pain was described as sudden. Also, no vital signs were noted and the patient had no previous medication history. And also, it has been...show more content... Further, we would recommend to the patient to have an electrocardiogram (ECG) test, in order to be sure that the pain is not a cause of any heart–related problems. We would also recommend the patient perform basic physical exercises, as this would be helpful to relieve them of anxiety and panic (Richardson, 2012). The patient's caretaker should monitor him carefully and contact the health care center if he displays any sudden condition of anxiety or panic attack. Case study–2 The subject of our next case study is a twenty–one–year–old female, who is presented with a shortness of breath after completing a training session. The patient is noted to be producing an audible wheeze when breathing. The patient is noted to be currently suffering from asthma and speaks only in short sentences. Her vital signs include using Ventolin inhaler. Paramedic report shows that herpulse rate is 140 bpm, which should have been between 70–100 bpm. Higher pulse rate indicates that the person is prone to sudden asthma attacks (Dawson, 2014), especially after any physical event. Her blood pressure is 130/70, where we can see that her diastolic pressure is low. Her respiratory rate is 40 bpm, this is a highly dangerous rate for any adult, as respiratory rate should be between 12–20 for any adult. This indicates that she is suffering from Tachycardia, which is verified through her ECG reports. Tachycardia is a common type of heart rhythm disorder, where she beats faster than usual Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Medical Terminology Essay In my paper I will be discussing what medical terminology is, where it came from, and how it is applied to medical assistant careers as well as how it is applied to medical administration careers. I will give examples of the importance of medical terminology and specific examples of where medical careers use medical terminology on a day to day basis. I will also give a brief summary and definition of what medical terminology stands for. After reading my paper you should have a good concept of medical terminology's importance, use, and why medical terminology is not just applied to medical assisting jobs but also why it is important for medical administration employees to also be familiar and have a good grasp on medical terminology....show more content... Decoding is very important because then it becomes easier to understand medical terminology. You should first break down the word by evaluating the meaning of the suffix, then prefix, and then the word root. This will in able a worker to identify what it is that is going on and be able to describe it to their patient and to the doctor or physician when asked. But first the worker needs to have a good sense of the origin of words which is called etymology. (Theirer & Breitbard, 2007, p. 1–4)Once you have the basic rules down you should be able to put words together and take them apart by decoding them. You also need to make sure that the spelling and pronunciation are correct because if a medical term is used incorrectly, it can become very dangerous and sometimes life threatening because you diagnose wrong procedures and medication. It creates a communication for health care professionals to make sure that a patient is treated with the highest amount of service and to ensure that they are being treated with the right medication. Decoding is essential but the father of medicine also wrote the Hippocratic Oath. In this Oath physicians are meant to promise to practice medicine the right way. To make sure their pronunciation and spelling was always accurate and correct. The Oath has been in use for over two thousand years and physicians and doctors are to follow the Oath to the best Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. The main discussion of this paper will be the focus of the three phases in the history of the medical practice: when doctors and patients both did not know much about sickness, the dissatisfaction and frustration of patients due to the advanced diagnostic and scientific knowledge, and doctors and their medical encounters. Cynthia Hagstrom examined interactions during office visits, specifically close–ended and open–ended questions that are directed by doctors to their patients. She suggests that different questions types can enhance or hinder the knowledge possibly being gained by the doctor. Another topic examined is the conversational asymmetry between physicians and their patients due to technical knowledge. Another type of asymmetry...show more content... The history of medicine can be broken down into three different period: the traditional period (1750–1850), the modern period (1880–1950), and the post–modern period (1960 to modern). Starting with the traditional period where the ability to treat diseases were limited. The training to become a doctor was not extensive with just an apprenticeship. Patients had very little belief that physicians had any type of special knowledge, and doctors were only called upon as a last resort. Doctors had very little training, but could administer strong drugs. The reality was that very little could be done for disease very long ago, and so terrible symptoms were tolerated. The modern period brought many scientific techniques that made is possible for doctors to diagnose and treat many patients. The tools invented during this period include: stethoscope, microscope, blood pressure cuff, and electrocardiogram. Bacteria was also identified as a cause of disease. With the connection of drugs (aspirin, quinine, insulin) to the treatment of patients, patients began presenting themselves as objects to be treated and healed. Medical school began offering specialize training for doctors, and successful treatment of many patients led to a social incline in the community for doctors. Post–modern period showed a major shift in attitudes towards doctors. Physicians are now Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. A Look Into the Medical Profession Essay 1.Introduction I'm interested in becoming a doctor. I'm not sure what type of doctor, but I hope that this project will help me decide. 2.The History and Development of Medicine There were many developments in ancient medicine due to the fact that people get injured and get diseases. In prehistoric times, people used herbs as healing agents. When tribes were formed and the caste system enacted, there were shamans or apothecaries who were the healers. In 700 B.C., there was a medical school in Cnidus that is the first known Greek medical school that started the idea of observing patients. The Greek centers of medical advice, prognosis, and healing were dedicated temples to their healer–god Asclepius. At these shrines, patients...show more content... Andreas Vesalius challenged accepted folklore by using scientific evidence. Vesalius started the development of modern neurology by studying the human brain. The Industrial Era saw the start of lunatic asylums. Emil Kraepelin (1856–1926) introduced new medical categories of mental illness, which eventually came into psychiatric usage despite their basis in behavior rather than pathology or etiology (Wikipedia). In the 1920s, psychiatry was opposed by surrealists who expressed their opposition through a number of surrealist publications. Several controversial medical practices were introduced in the 1930s, including inducing seizures by means of electroshock, insulin or other drugs, or cutting parts of the brain apart for the studies called leucotomy and lobotomy. 3.Future Economic and Growth Trends of Physicians According to Student doc, the average familyphysician makes $204,000, the average pediatrician makes 175,000, the average neurologist makes $228,000, the general surgeon makes $291,000, the average dermatologist makes $308,000, the average psychiatrist makes $169,000, the average anesthesiologist makes $311,000, and the average ER makes $216,000. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the number of physicians and surgeons employed in 2008 was 661,400. In 2018, that number should increase to 805,500, which is a difference of 147,100 or 22% Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Postgraduate Medical Journal With healthcare being such a rapidly developing field, it is essential that we, as aspiring medical professionals, understand what is progressing in our profession. Within the blink of an eye health care changes; doctors, professors, researchers, are all developing new theories, journals and studies daily. It is our responsibility as current students in this field to do our best to further understand these journals, studies, researches and the writing that is involved in our field. Why you may ask? There is arguably an infinite amount of perspectives in the medical field ranging from a vast amount of topics–– understanding how to read and write professional writing based on medicine is imperative for our future careers and their advancement...show more content...

  • 7. Medical Issues : Medical Problems Medical Problems: Why People Avoid Going do to a Doctor and what does that lead to? One of the more recent issues of today's healthcare is the fact that many people avoid going to a doctor or a physician, whether they have a medical problem or not. Even for a routine checkup, people generally avoid doctors. It began as a growing phenomenon in the developing countries but has now spurred across borders towards the developed world as well. This paper examines, in detail, the various reasons why people with medical problems avoid going to the doctors and the detrimental health effect it causes to them. First of all, it is pertinent to highlight the fact that nobody knows for sure that how many people avoid going for medical visits and routine checkups, why do they do so or whether or not it causes their health to deteriorate further. There are no national statistics and empirical data when understanding and tracking the delays in healthcare industry. This makes the understanding of behavioral patterns and attitudes towards healthcare and medical visits difficult. However, public health experts all across the globe are agreed upon the fact that many people with money, health insurance and access to good medical resources are voluntarily avoiding checkups and medical tests and visits. Health experts have hypothesized a few causes as to why people with medical conditions avoid going to the doctor. Health experts list the fear of being misdiagnosed as the primary cause as to Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Medical Advances Essay Medical Advances Besides the computer revolution, medical advances have caused tension between faith and reason. The medical advances of the Twentieth Century have many beneficial effects for humanity. Diseases that used to be dangerous or life threatening, like mumps, measles, and whooping cough, are no longer worries in todays medical world. Tetanus, typhoid, and the bubonic plaque can now be treated with antibiotics or other medicines. Vaccines, especially the polio vaccine, freed many people from the effects of a disease. Advances in heart surgery and organ transplants have saved many lives. Anesthetics and painkillers have been made to reduce or eliminate pain during surgery or a painful disease. Advances in cancer and AIDS have...show more content... This will tremendously benefit farmers who raise livestock, and cloning of the superior animals will also make the food supply healthier and larger in this growing world. Other advances in medical technology deal with the preborn and postborn babies and prolonging life techniques. Prenatal technology and obstetrics have allowed babies to be born as early as twenty–two weeks after conception. Life support systems have helped to prolong lives and have even supported people in comas who have "woken up" after many years. However, these medical advances have been questioned as to whether they really are "advance." Many of these new medical techniques conflict with peoples faith in medical ethics and with their religious beliefs, especially Catholicism. A debate about the extent to which humans are allowed to "play God" to destroy, alter, or create life forms has risen. Most of the new controversial medical procedures have become accepteed in this impersonal, technological world, but many people do not believe these procedures are really "progress." Many people believe that Church should be the driving force in the fight against AIDS. Robert K. Gray in "Some Diseases Are Less Equal Than Others": The War Against AIDS (1990) states that "the pulpit of the Catholic Church is the mightiest of weapons" against the spreading of AIDS and against the hate that evolves for AIDS victims.(6) However, most people who have AIDS were contaminated by sinning Get more content on HelpWriting.net
