My experience learning English.

Hello Everyone! Today I'm going to talk about my experience learning English.
English is probably the third language in the world in number of speakers who are native speakers (between 300 and 400 million people), and the second most spoken, behind Mandarin Chinese, if you count those who have it also as a second language (200 million people).
The English is descended from the language spoken by the Germanic tribes that migrated from what is now northern Germany (and part of Denmark) to the land that would become known as England..
The English is a language that is very important to dominate for the health professional to give the medical attention to the foreign patients.

To me, as a future midwife, is very important to dominate the English, because maybe in many situations I will face patients that not speak in Spanish and that them from for example some country of the Europe or the United States, and in these cases the universal language is English. In this situations is very fundamental the communication through this language to give a exact attention and provide all the necessary to the patient.
Is for this reason that in my point of view, I consider that the implementation of the English in the innovative careers is a good method to incorporate the English in the health’s professions.
In my personal case, English has been a very hard subject, because in the secondary education I don’t had English and learn this idiom without a base is complicated. To pass the English levels in these two years, I have had to make, apart the exercises of the English book, or the activities in the classes, extra exercises. I make all the weekends, listening activities, grammars exercises, interaction exercises with a computational English program, called “Tell me More” , and other kind of the exercises as for example, crossword puzzles, word search, written exercises. For me is the only way along with the classes, that I can feel more sure for the tests, oral interactions and to the exam.

In conclusion, is very important to know the English language, is very fundamental to the health’s professionals. For other part, in my case is necessary reinforce constantly the contents of the classes, and this is necessary because the time to each English level in the university maybe is short as to learn or dominate this idiom. I think that in the future the English, for the importance of this idiom, have in the professional development, should have more time in the subjects programs of each career, and that be a obligatory subject in all the careers of our university.

Grey´s Anatomy :)

Grey's Anatomy is a medical drama, which combines the medicine involving the personal stories of the protagonists. The lead character is Dr. Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo. The first episode aired on March 27, 2005. Have now been issued seven seasons of the series.
The main characters are residents of Seattle Grace Hospital, and they are: Dr. Meredith Grey, Dr. Derek Shepherd, Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens, Dr. Cristina Yang, Dr. Alex Karev, Dr. George O'Malley, Dr. Miranda Bailey, Dr. Lexie Grey, Dr. Mark Sloan, Dr. Richard Webber and Dr. Callie Torres. As the series has progressed, many characters have left the series and have built new ones. The first season will see the first few days in the work of Meredith, Cristina, Izzie, George and Alex. The five are under the orders of the resident Dr. Miranda Bailey.
Apart from the cases, it appears as Meredith begins a relationship with a neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd (with whom he went to bed not knowing who the night was before) and Cristina started another relationship with the cardiothoracic surgeon Preston Burke, and Izzie and Alex fall in love and as George is secretly in love with Meredith. Both Bailey and Richard Webber, the chief, watch over them in everything they do.
For me, this serial is very special because I've seen every episode with my mother, we both really like this group, and it is related to the area that I study. Currently the seventh season we see it every Friday night with my mother and this is what makes this program special.
My favorites characters are the Neurosurgeon; Dr. Derek Shepherd, Dr. Alex Karev and Dr. Cristina Yang.
I also like this series because in addition to surgery and show the lives of doctors and different specialties, many chapters give teachings and values.

Myths and trues about the Brain XD

The Doctor Maldonado spoke about myths and truths about the brain and he exposed a series of myths. Is very important to know the brain, and is fundamental to the health professionals that they understand the functioning of this organ. For this reason that is important to know that there are many myths about the brain and that is necessary as a futures health professionals to explain to the people, to the patients, that these myths are not truth, for example: “ The human brain is different from the brain of the others animals”, this is not true, because the animals have the same structure in the brain that the human brain, the difference is not structural only that the human cerebral cortex is very longer and have more neurons. “Every brain functions are localized in a specific place of the brain”, in first moment this could be true, because there are some functions that are more “marked” in specific areas of the brain but in the same time are activated others places. Other myth that the people believe, is “The brain is like computer”, and this is absolutely false, because here there are many difference, two of the more important differences are, first, that the computer have a localized memory but the human brain has a distributed memory, and second, that the brain have simultaneous functions, but the computer has only sequential functions. “The brain represent the reality around us”, this is wrong, because for example, with my ear, I can listen one thing but with my eyes I can see other thing very different in the same situation, and this happen because in the brain are activated others areas in the same time. Each of us has different realities or different perceptions of the world. And the last myth, is “ We use only 10% of our brain”, and this is impossible, because our brain has plasticity, the brain need more neuronal connections , for example, the occipital area of the blind people is activated because they can read with his hands!!!! (Braille) The brain is a complex organ, it has the control of all our functions, and the same time permits that each of us has different perceptions. Is very important all this in Midwifery profession, because permit us to understand why each women is different, why all woman has a different perceptions of the pregnancy, labor, maternity, and for this reason the attention is different to each women. And for other part permit us to apply the "early stimulation" in the baby because the brain is plastic, in others words, is changing.
