Technology on my subjects

Many of us say that we do not have technology on our career, well I will try to find the elements wich have to helped to me to make easier the most complicated things. We live surrounded of many technologies things and we are so used to these, that we do not notice the rest. I mean technology for everybody could be computers, mp3's, cell phones, etc. But we can find it in a abject as simple like a goniometer. It is truth, this faculty and our career do not spotlight like the modernst one, however, without these pieces, we are not be at the same level.

First of all, in every subject, in every single class we use the data show and the computer, objects present for a long time ago in our lives, but the frecuency that we use them now, is different, without them we would advance to 10 k/h. They allow us to have all the material able in the web and that facilitates a lot of things. In the end we save the precious time.
In biology and histology classes utilized microscope and of course in the english ones: the computer.
Internet is a tool that is and will be always present, in everything! Nowadays we can not be disconnected, because every minute a so important information is being uploaded (in your personal mail, the class mail, etc). If you do not have internet you are dead in these career, just like that. There are no excuses. I think is a little unfair because maybe not everybody have the money and library's computers are of the old-world.
By another far hand we have the physical therapy instruments: All of these new to us and employed in the functional anatomy classes. I think the first one was our dear goniometer, a simple instrument wich looks like a rule mixed with a protactor, but works to measure the grade of our articulations. Others are the flowmeters and the stethoscope. Yes, they are not the most complex, but what do we do, the physical therapist without them?

I can not imagine how would be our student life with more technology. I really do not know if we really need it, for some reason we are the best. Some people say, as a science area career, we need to be more and more connected with the last technology.
By the moment we just need this, but I know later we will have to keep us enlightened or we can lose the war of the technology in the market world. We want it or not, it is already here and every little change could change our knowledge and our work forever.

Challenges in my discipline

Hello everyone. This time we come back to talk about my careerPhysical Therapy is the second highest valued and paid after medicine, nevertheless the breach wich separe them is to big.
Let see what are the dificulties it has to cross, I mean what are the problems.
First of all in social matters, Physical Therapy is seen like the discipline chosen because they do not reach for medicine and people has no a good culture about it. Very few people know what a physical therapist really does and also as it is not first consult, nobody can go if the doctor does not ask it. Our consult is so much cheaper than going to a doctor, so if we were first consult, people would save a lot of money because, you know we can start to heal without invade your body.We have to spread this, a strong pain can be resolved just with a move. And how do we do it? Making Physical therapy like a first consult.
Directly relationed with social matters is the economic resources and with this is the technology, but this is not just a problem of this discipline, all the health disciplines have this typical issue: Private sectors has more and better resources, more technology, more machine that is so important here, because it does the work faster and people obviously is going to prefer these ones, so if we do not equilibrate this situation now, we will never can to reach medicine or give to everybody the best service posible.
In the education area, I think we are ok. We have almost the same education and subjects that the rest of the disciplines . The problems that I see are that in many institutes you can take this career and obviously it is not the same, because this places do not make you a professional, they do not know everything that they have to know and nevertheless this people has the grade of physical therapist and by another hand the specialties are obtained just for little courses and not necesarialy like an extension of the university career like in medicine.
Despite of all of this, physical therapy is growing and growing everyday so we can be sure that it will have a better place soon.

Things that I would improve in my faculty

Well I can imagine if you read my title you would say ''Oh, more complaints about it!''I am conscious that with you, my dear readers, are mostly of my faculty, so we have a lot of things in common about it.
The first reaction when I came here, to the faculty I found it beautiful from the outside, but inside it looked like a public clinic so I just would like a group of people be responsible to restore it in the order the faculty look fresher.I really don't know what is the current problem of here, maybe is about money and the investments that are done. I know, much of the money goes to investigations, aside to the students. For example: there is a big problem with the technology, specially with the computers: are very few and always are damaged and are too slow, so please I know the university can do a better effort.
By another hand I feel dissatisfied about the management of the garbage: we don't have a real recycling program and in this times is world important make conscience about it and more important as faculty of medicine (health sciences to be exactly) . With this measure we all will be beneficiated, we just cannot permit this situation keep increasing. I don't know about others faculties, but I think it should be an obligation almost as also it should be the green areas to relax!This and others things bothers a little, others like the aprobation system: all the exams are failing and if you reprove one, you have to lose a whole year, that is unfair! one, you have to lose a whole year, that is unfair!
Ok. Not everything is bad here. Faculty of medicine I love you anyway and I'm very proud to be part of you.

Hobbies!

Hi followers !
Today I am going to tell you about the things that I like to do most: my hobbies. I can imagine we have a lot of these things in common, but also we never finish to know each other. I think it is so necesary to the life keeping busy in something else than the studies. I could not live if I didn't it. Into my favourite hobbies are the sports and arts because I think that your soul is who asks you keeping a balance between your body, mind and that crazy part that nobody knows. I started training basketball and athletics, but I early realized I really wanted to practice football, so that is what I do at these days and I like a lot: both in watching it as in do it. I play it us much as possible I can: in my school, the U, with my friends, footbal academy. The sad part of the history is that before, I felt so much free and good than now, but it's ok. By the other hand I have drawing, when I was a child I used to do it more frequently, then I stoped to do it around four years and I lost much of my capability, but now I am doing it and I come back to feel what I feel before. Also it is playing the guitar , watching movies (but the real cinema)and acting, sorry, but I stop to do it as before, one reason is time and the other is that my personality has changed dramatically when I gone a teenager, maybe I left to dream a little and this is what has decrease my creativity, but that doesn't mean I gave up liking it.Of course I have known so much people in these activities and these are one of the most beautiful things because you know there is people like you and sometimes so much special , people that inspires you.Finally I can say: the hobbies do who you are, you never stop to practice because, these keep you in harmony, they complete you, with everything this includes.It's not necesary having a talent or an motor hability, you just need the feeling.

Holidays!

OK.
Today I am going to tell you about something much more light, like vacations. :DWhen you say holidays, I undertand summer and when I say summer I understand beach.
I am from the fourth region so the place that I have visited most in my life are the beach of there, specially Tongoy and Guanaqueros. Those are the places where I have the mostly of my memories when I was a child. Everytime year in february, all my paternal family and me went to Tongoy, where I could see my cousins of Santiago and we spent a great time. I just can remember good moments of creativity, laziness and actually, those are the first times when I went to the bed late.Sometimes, after of Tongoy, only my parents, my sister, my brother and me were to any other place like Viña del Mar and once we went to the north, passing by Iquique, Arica and reaching Tacna.Now, how I am a little older I go to the beach with my friends. We rent a hut in Guanaqueros, reaching to be twelve of us. So you can imagine how we spent that time: Getting up late, going to the beach in the afternoons and going out at the nights to bonfires and pubs. Those were excess of misbehave moments.I hope for the next summer to spend a lot of time with my family in the beach because those are the thing that I miss them, how i am not with them this year. Of course I want to stay with my friends to, because we are spread throughout the country and that is the moment to see us all of us, apart from september.Sadly, into my plans, also is to work. I have to save a lot of money for my giant travel that I want to do to Europe. That is the dream that I have wanted to make true all my life where I am planig to know different people, to learn another language or practice my english and basicly to live new experiences that changes me. I don not know yet, who I am going to go with, but I am not desperate. I have a good amount of money, but it is not enough yet.I hope my summer brings me a lot of surprises forever, but also, that it does not brush aside my favorite traditions.

Ankle sprain What treatments work?

The Ancle is the most important segment of our body.
Why? Because it support the rest of your whole body, so it is so important that you can repare it, as soon as possible you can.
Here are some really effective treatments and some wish you will lose your time.
The first, always are the RICE (don't forget this acronyn). This is Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.
Rest of course, because when you just get the injury, it is not good give it more tenssion.
You shouldn't move it a lot if hurts to much, but just when the pain has decrease, it is better you move a little bit more each day.
The ice will help to get down the swelling, but not to cure the real problem.
If the ligaments ankle are torn, you have to support it and this is better with a elastic bandage that with a plaster or a tape, the plaster can cause you trombosis and the tape an allergic reaction.
Surgery: Do it just in case the pain and the activity of your ankle is really bad later of a months.
Physiotherapy: This includes heat, ultrasound and axercises. We are agree that exercises are best part. This helps to make stronger your muscles and increase your flexiblity to prevent futures lessons and also if these are balance exercise how to standing in one leg, the recovery will be much better. Ask to your phisycal therepist when you can start to do it.
A treatment that doesn't really work are the ultrasound.
Remember, the movement is always better!
