Patient Profile: Preventing a Heart Attack
Welcome to my third and last action project for Cure. Cure is a course taken by the sophomore class here at GCE Lab School. There are 3 units in this course and we just first our last one titled Prevention. In this unit, we looked through different kinds of ways to prevent disease. We had a guest visitor who is a retired paramedic teach us how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The importance of us learning how to perform CPR is so that we can know what to do when someone has gone into cardiac arrest. The only math skills that we learned were Theoretical and Experimental Probability. To wrap up this unit, we chose a specific symptom and or disease that we wanted to focus on and found a way to treat it by finding 3 different methods. We had to come up with a hypothetical character and make up their medical history, their family's medical history, and more. With all that information we had to give recommendations on how they can prevent a disease that runs their family.
