HW 21 - Expert #1

The three most important sights that i've listed from the guest speaker yesterday was:

1)Eventhough he was a stay home dad he still became a neighborhood dad. Which is pretty cool because being a somewhat neighborhood dad or you can call it father figure in a way would make him feel happy and more powerful. And what i mean by powerful is like he has a lot of attention and is well known and aware by the people surrounding him.

2)It took him years before he saw a doctor which was a bad thing because of him not seeing the doctor while he knew he was sick, he got worse and the cancer got to advance. Which a lot of people do now and days they think that they're okay and they ignore modern medicine and when they get to sick that's when they start to realize what's going to happen next.
3)My last important insight that i have listed down is that his attitude was never bad Erik never had a bad attitude eventhough he knew about his condition. Which helped him as a person and helped his family and people around him the most, and his emotions were pretty good since he was a fighter it made him not give up on cancer and try to defeat it anyway that was possible, which made him a little less worried about death.

Her insights about erik wood and my insights were of course different in many ways. Eventhough him not seeing a doctor because he probably thought he was okay and that he would heal by himself was eventually a bad idea for him, because if he would of found out sooner about the cancer in his body he would of most likely been cured faster and became better. But since the doctor's caught the cancer most likely late it was bad for them and for him. Him being a fighter though i think was a good attitude to have around people regardlessly if he had cancer or not. Being a fighter helped him as a person and like i mentioned before a less worried person about his cancer, because he had an instinct in him that knew that he could fight off this cancer by himself, which is a good attitude to have eventhough he was scared and nervous.

Beth's presentation made me think a lot, because my cousin recently died of cancer it he found out about it when it was to late to make any cures, and erik also had cancer and he decided not to go to the doctor on time which made it worse for him. But Beth's presentation made me think of this particular question which is why do people decide to wait eventhough they know they feel sick? And i thought of that particular question because i know a lot of people who were sick and they thought they would get better overtime but they got worse in the end instead of getting better, and then they finally went to the doctor and by that time there is very little that the doctor can do.
