technology

The definition of technology says that "technology is the body of knowledge that can make objects and machines to adapt the environment and meet our needs".

These days, technology plays an important role in our society, because it has provived life in many aspects such as the progress that has taken the new scientific discoveries, and not only seen the importance of technologies in the area of science, also, the technology is integrated in the political, economic and social development, among others. In the health area, the use of technology is very important, because it allowed us discover new ways to solve health people problems.

challenges in my discipline

Hi everybody, today I have to talk about important callenges that my discipline, obstetrics, is currently facing.

In the visits that I have made to clinics and hospitals during this year, I could appreciate the level of technology that the midwives were using with the users. In general they were appropiate, but somethings called my atention. For example, to take the pressure, now they use electric machines, not like before, where they took the pressure with stethoscope and taking the radial and brachial pulse. Another thing that I noticed is the quality of the gloves that were deliver at clinics. They were bad, I mean, everytime that the midwife put a glove in her hand they broke.

I think that the government should contribute more money to what concerns the health technology, because the area of health is very important to society, they use it everytime, so the implements have to be of the highest quality, especially in public health centers that are the most visited by the society.

What respect social matters, the midwives are well paid, society sees midwives as a health professional, able to give goods diagnostics, but also, they see them as someone to trust. But something that I really hate is that the gynecologists are doing the work of midwives. They attend deliveries and midwives are subordinated by them, but it doesn't happend everywhere, just in some hospitals. In this case I don't know what to do to change it, because there is a law that says that midwives are responsible to assist normal deliveries, and they manage their team.

One of the most important roles of the midwives is the education. They educate the society about the sexual area, giving talks at clinics. They educate about birth control, or Sexual Transmission Diseases (DTS), for example. But I realized that the society is not interested in being educated. The clinics advertise about this talks through leaflets or posters, but these means of advertising are not so effective. I think that the ministry of health should do more advertising on television or radio, at the peack hours.

take care! bye bye.

My faculty

In this moment all the people in my faculty are focussed on the studies because it is the end of the semester. Before, on fridays, all the students used to go to "Blest place" at the end of the day to have fun with their friends. Now that place is a desert. There are more people in the library studying or doing some works with their clasemates.

My faculty is dark, wet and a little bit fearful, there are a few iluminated places, the buildings are cold, but the auditoriums are okey, some of them have air conditioning.

I think that the buildings need color, if they are painted the faculty would be more happy, not so serious. There are some paintings on the walls, but I don't like them and they look so old, without brightness. The university could make a mural contest, by career, or something like that, once a year, and the students could paint murals of some topic.

Maybe, if those walls were painted with nice colors, the faculty will look so much beautiful and full of life, so the students wouldn't be so stressed, it could be more motivating to come to classes.

Also, the green areas, like the "Blest place", are a little worn. There are not so many grass on the floor and they contribute to my university looks more dark too. In this case, it could plant some grass, and just put signs that say "keep off the grass".

Well that's all for today.

Bye bye.
