Career Path

1. Possible Research Topics: There are several topics while working in the medical field, I can possibly focus on any researches, such as working with pediatric skincare, any blood disorders, and the pros and cons of getting shots.

1.1. Pediatric Skincare:

1.1.1. Acne: This is the most common skin condition having dead hair follicles including are filled with oil and dirt, with dead skin cells. This leads to pimples, and blackheads. All of get this but sometimes, people can be in the worst condition with their skin.

1.2.1. Thalassemia: This is a blood disorder I have myself. This is a blood disorder involving less red blood cells and less oxygen (hemoglobin) than normal people. There is alpha, which is severe, and beta which is less harmful. Symptoms can be anemia, which I had, shortness of breath, extremely tired or exhausted (fatigue), weakness and paleness.

1.2.1.1. Anemia: This is a blood condition where the blood cells do not have enough healthy red blood cells. This was also an affect that I had since I do have thalassemia, which I had to treated going to hospitals. Having anemia, you lack lots of red blood cells, and this can also reduce the amount of oxygen flow through your body and its organs.

1.2.1.1.1. Hemolytic Disease Of The Newborn: This is a blood disorder hat happens to the fetus or new infant, which can be life threatening. The red blood cells in a newborn are kept for about 120 days. In this case, the red blood cells in the newborn, are eventually destroyed much earlier than normal. This can happen of course during a pregnancy, having the mother's blood and the fetus's blood to cross each other, through the placenta. This can happen if the mother and the fetus have different blood types.

1.3. Immunization:

1.3.1. Getting a vaccination, or a shot is sometimes questionable, especially for parents who are having their kid take either a flu shot, and more. There are always a debate on whether parents do believe if this is safe, or it could cause a harmful reaction to them.

1.3.1.1. Pros Of A Vaccination: Parents, or guardians would think it is reasonable to have their kid getting a vaccine. For example, this can save children's lives. This helps from any diseases prevented from happening. In most vaccination, the ingredients used in vaccines tend to be safe for us. Children are more exposed to germs and bacteria than they are to vaccines. Along the line, there are any rare reactions when getting vaccinated, major medical organizations do state that this is also safe.

1.3.1.1.1. Cons Of A Vaccination: On the other hand, parents and or guardians believe that they can have their child at risk for taking vaccination. For example, these vaccines can cause fatal side affects. This can cause a life-threatening allergic reaction. This can occur some type of blockage to hospitalization, or permanent brain damage. The government should not intervene with personal medical choices such as vaccines, because they do not want to be responsible in taking for a parent's child's health.
