Sounds like an excellent class. Probably should be a requirement rather than an elective tbh.
Doesn't seem that related to medicine, I could sed it being the topic of two classes at best, but not a whole course. That's why its an elective.
If a poor person came in to the doctors office, they wouldn't be getting adequate care if the doctor didn't understand the impact their conditions have on their physical body.
Stress can exacerbate almost every medical condition. The boat doesn't perform normally when it's under stress. It can affect pregnancy like crazy which affects every single person in the world. Every single person comes from a pregnancy. Stress can affect sleep which also negatively affects like every condition.
Being poor is a chronic condition and the only cure is money.
Being a minority is a genetic condition for which there is no cure.
The funny thing is, neither of these are a problem with the individual, but a problem with society itself. We, collectively, are the disease, and these pre-existing conditions make it much easier to contract.
Medicine needs to be approached holistically. Especially for primary care. Stress is absolutely a factor in holistic care. A collegiate trimester is 12-13 weeks, and a semester is 15-17. I suspect this wasn't the only topic covered in class.
I'm being poor 24/7, doctors should consider that
"Molecule Man, Molecule Man,
unable to provide for his family man..."
What's he like? It's not important GET BACK TO WORK PLEB
Person Man, Person Man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person ManIs he depressed?
Or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with Person Man?
Degraded man,
Person Man.
Signed up for stress, got stress 🤷 Does exactly what it says on the tin 😅
But seriously this world's fucked :| :(
Can you imagine the molecular and epigenetic damage being done to the Palestinian people right now?
That tends to happen when you get hit by an explosive.
Yeah, and not just molecular damage.
We should send more monies so dey happy
The Israeli's have these issues on a massive scale as well. It a large part of why they are lashing out the way they are.
I think instead of sending bombs and guns, we should send group counselors and therapist for them all, and hugs
Except its largely not holocaust survivors that formed that shit hole, and in fact the only reason they didn't participate in the holocaust is that Hitler, presumably being thrown by the novel experience of not being the most unreasonable asshole in the room for the first and last time in his life, told them to fuck off.
These are the descendants of wannabe (and one group of actual!) perpetrators if the holocaust, not victims.
Stop your genocide excusing propaganda. They have no excuse. Not even a partial one.
That sounds like Gabor Maté's work.
Every day? Sounds stressful.
At least she didn't accidentally end up in the mechanical engineering department learning about stress.
Living destroys your health on a molecular level... Or being punched... or stabbed. Or staying up longer than you should... or looking at screens too long... or...
Yeah and constantly looking over your shoulder because there are threats everywhere accelerates that molecular destruction.
Aka. Stress.
Or staying up longer than you should… or looking at screens too long… or…
Oy, no need to call me out like that... I should turn off my phone.
Nothing quite like being technically correct, and completely missing the point.
looking at screens too long
No it doesnt. You might as well say "looking at a tree too long".
If you had to spend 8-14 hours every day staring at a tree at a fixed distance, it would probably be harmful to your vision.
A good reason to try and excel and get a good job!
Yeah! Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and start a small business! It's your fault that you're poor and you're black!
But if everyone’s rich, who would be poor?
I'll take none for the team.
Why should only the minorities that excel deserve a good life?
Why do the mediocre majority get to live a good life while the mediocre minority don't?
Let people be mediocre and instead we need to make life better for everyone.
I fairly certain you're a troll, it's patently obvious on a site like lemmy. Heck I'm even confident you're going to respond to this because I used a magic keyword, I won't. This is meant for the normal people reading this
Why should only the minorities that excel deserve a good life?
The guy just said "If you excel at something, you will be happy and less stressed" and you are seriously asking why only people that are happy deserve to be so? They didnt even claim that anything SHOULD be any particular way, they just said that the goal of being happy in the end is an aim worth persuing.
Let people be mediocre and instead we need to make life better for everyone.
You cant just magically make people healthier or less stressed or happier. If the other person had said "Health is a good reason why you should start working out" would you also respond with:
Why should only the minorities that
excel[work out] deserve a good life??
