Sick: the Untold Story of America 's Healthcare Crisis-And the People Who Pay the Price by Jonathan Cohn investigates the history and impact America’s healthcare has had on various people around the United States.

    I recall the day so clearly, impatiently waiting in the doctor’s office. Nothing was wrong with me; I was supposed to be at the rink for hockey practice or so I thought. Instead I was waiting to be called into a room. Little did I know I was about to hear those three dreaded words, the words no person ever wants to hear ‘You have cancer’.

    I believe that it is a shame that in 2008, 12.7 million people were diagnosed with cancer and an additional 7.6 million people die from this tragic disease. The World Health Organization states that in the year of 2030, this statistic will grow to 21.4 and 13.2 million respectively (Fanghua, 2010, p.297). But, what is cancer. Cancer is a disease caused by non-stop division of cells and it can happen almost anywhere in the human body. People who are stricken with this disease are people who are loved and will be missed when they inevitably die.…

    Today my family faces a number of health issues, mainly as a result of poor diet, lack of exercise and lifestyle choices, but also genetics play a big role in my family’s healthy life. The first one in my family who I’ve known, who got diagnosed with cancer in 2007, was my great grandma, she barely took care of herself, as in poor diet, but did survive a high risk surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and mastectomy on her left breast. My other grandma wasn’t diagnosed with cancer but the doctors did find benign nodes on both breasts, which she got removed because they found cancer cells on them. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, when cancer develops cells become more and more abnormal, old or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when they are not needed. These extra cells can divide without stopping and may form growths called tumors.…

    Even then it was a subject of many debates among the doctors, lawyers, and psychologists… Attitude toward the intentional hastening of the death of the terminally ill patient even with a purpose to end their sufferings never was an unambiguous. Although the idea of euthanasia originated long time ago, the traditional medical ethics includes a prohibition since Hippocrates’ time until nowadays. “I neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, no make a suggestion to his effect” (Whose right to Die, page 2). Nevertheless, today the doctors have to bring up the question of euthanasia more frequently, at least then when a patient asks for a death himself. How should we deal with this problem?…
