Short Topics

As I was looking through the L.A. Times Health RSS Feed, many articles caught my eye. Since I intend to enter the medical profession, the discussions of different effects of medicines, germ outbreaks, and surgeries held my interest.

I was constantly learning the effects of new medicines, for this feed was being frequently updated. As I am completely obsessed in my health, I took great caution and thoroughly read the content of each article. Reading about the latest medical disasters and accomplishments gave me a feeling of awareness and helped me stay at peace. While learning which foods to avoid due to salmonella outbreaks interested me, I could not keep up with the more complex words and statistics that some of the articles contained. Even though percentages prove a point, the writers seemed to over prove their point. The many numbers left me confused. Since I do not keep up with the news, I was glad to be informed of the most recent medical stories.

Reading these articles inspired me to write with more facts and exact details to emphasize my point. As a writer, I hope to be able to persuade my readers.
