Your Medical Records-Public or Private?

The law in the United States regarding patients' medical records have strict rules to follow. There aren't many other people besides you and your doctor than can access medical records. How do you feel about your medical records being stored electronically?

There are some pro's and con's to this matter at hand. Some of the pro's would be that patients' medical records would be accessible at a click of a mouse and up to date within seconds. This process makes it a whole lot easier on doctors and their offices when it comes to saving, storing, and retrieving a patients' medical records. How safe is this really? Yes it is more efficient, but is efficiency worth the cost of easier accessibility? How safe are your records really when someone who knows or can figure out the system in which they are stored? The accessibility is also easier for insurance agencies, along with the government. With insurance agencies having easier accessibility to patients' private medical records, would it cause agencies to drop or not cover costs with knowing more sooner about patients' and their conditions? Yes efficiency is always a more convenient way of operating, but is a patients privacy worth the risk?

Group Project

For my groups project our topic is going to be the educational use of video games in the classroom. I think we might do an informational video informing the public, teachers, administrators, and parents on how video games could be used in the class room. Also how teachers along with students will benefit from the video games and how the attitudes of students can possibly rise due the fact they could possibly be having fun while learning.

Rylee

One thing i for sure enjoy most about visiting home is getting to see my dog Rylee. When i arrive home i can usually find her smashing her over sized tail into the wall, waiting for me at the door. Rylee is a mixed dog, we are not sure of what, but she's white and as big as a lab. She has a brown mask that covers her face, along with a brown ear and a white ear spotted with brown freckles. She's a pretty cool dog that pretty much just plays with anything that will amuse her, lay by the front door to sun herself and occasionally bark at a rolling leaf through the yard.

Naps

I would have to say that napping is the best part of my day. No matter when it occurs or even if its by accident, napping is very enjoyable. I love napping because one I prolly could always use the little bit of extra shut eye since I never seem to sleep at night. Even if the nap is only a 20 min. one it's still well worth it. There is the downfall of the over three hour nap, because its like you pretty much just got a whole nights sleep causing me to stay up even later than normal.

I dont know about anyone else but i sure am glad this week is over. it seemed kinda long to me. i had a never ending work load that i just kept putting off making the week seem even longer. i need to become better at completing my tasks when they are given and not waiting until the last possible minute to finish. six straight hours at the library is no fun at all

Sleep

it seems to me that day after day i seem to be getting less and less sleep. the funny thing about it is im usually never tired because of it. either naps are holden' up for me or im an insomniac. Dont get me wrong a love my sleep but not sleeping is just more fun. more time to do stuff.

Meal Plans

Here at ball state I feel that the meal plan set up is bullshit. I feel this way because we sign up for our selected meal plan, pay our money, and then the school tells us if we want to have money to eat a meal we HAVE to eat between this time and that time. That is not how it should work. We payed that money for food we shouldn't get it taken away if we decide not to eat at that particular or cannot make it due to a class. This is just another way for the school to take our money
