To understand pathology and, subsequently, how to mitigate disease
and illness, you must first establish what health and wellness are.
To begin this discussion, introduce yourself to your classmates and
instructor. Briefly discuss your background, describe your
professional goals, explain what you hope to gain from this course,
and share what you enjoy doing in your free time. Then, in the
context of this course (with pathophysiology and pharmacology
concepts in mind), answer the following questions in the discussion
topic:
What does it mean to be healthy?
What does it mean for the body to react abnormally to a
disease or illness? What does it look like?
Support your answer with relevant resources.
When responding to your peers, consider their initial posts. Does
"healthy" mean the same thing to you? Explain.
