Medical Malpractice: This is a touchy subject for me because of my experience with it. When I was in the sixth grade my mom had a tonsillectomy. She was supposed to recover in a couple of weeks but instead she got worse. The pain she felt was unbearable and she could hardly sleep. One early morning she was got up to take her pain medicine and ended up throwing up blood all over the kitchen and hallway. My dad heard the noise and quickly got up. The cause of all this was her doctors error. He had slightly slit her artery during her tonsillectomy. He was aware of it and didn't say a word.
Questions this brings up are what is classified as malpractice? How are people compensated for the wrong doing? Can doctors be held accountable for these "accidents"?
My target audience could be medical students or victims of malpractice. I think they both would benefit and obtain knowledge over the subject.
Abortion: This is a highly debated topic today in our society. Is it wrong or right? I can't say i've personally experienced having in abortion but I know people that have. I have also gotten the chance to witness a protest firsthand against abortion. The protest was staged in Germantown, MD where Doctor Carhart is now performing abortions late in pregnancy. I had never seen a protest firsthand before.
Questions: What are the views on abortion? What caused this protest? Why did this doctor choose to work in Maryland? What should be done to find an agreement?
Audience: Abortion Activists
Health care for college students: As a freshman college student this topic kinda scares me. I was clueless on what to do if I got sick and what I should do about insurance. My parents had always handled all that stuff. Now a semester into college, I have learned a little more about the healthcare system at Maryland. It angers me how insurance billing works. I feel like we students get targeted and taken advantage of. I became aware of all of this when I got sick last semester and had to make an appointment at the health center. I was billed to my student account for my visit. If I want to be repaid I had to endure this long process. End result till haven't gotten compensated for it.
Questions: What is the system for healthcare set up for students? Why is it set up this way? Why wasn't I compensated? How can this be improved?
Audience: College Students
