It's amazing how much of a difference technology is making in every aspect of our lives! Now we have healthcare information readily available online which I think is just fantastic. I have gone online many times to seek information about an illness or some other health issue. This really helped me know what was going on with me and often times gave me remedies to fix it myself without going to the doctor. However, if I did end up having to go to the doctor, the availability of this information online really helped me know: A. what to tell my doctor about the illness, and B. what I think it could be. Doctors aren't miracle workers! So I am so glad to have the ability to participate in my own healthcare and be aware of what's going on in my body.
The part of this video that I found very interesting and surprising was when they talked about the video games that kids play in which characters in the game are combatting cancer cells. The statistics of how much better these children were in their treatment was amazing. It's amazing what wonders our minds can do for us when put into the right mindset. This was a totally new concept to me, but I think it's great. Hopefully all children with cancer will have access to this game or one like it to help them to understand their illness, and to get their mind around the idea of fighting it.
