NATIONAL NATIVE AMERICAN DAY - October 9, 2023 - National Today

For my writing project I will focus on Native Americans and the healthcare system. I choose this topic as it consists of geography and economic challenges. Two challenges that create a difficult environment for Native Americans to get good quality health care. Then there is also ethnicity that is brought into the unfair treatment. I plan on talking about how each one of these issues and how they deal with the Native American community in health care. Another reason I chose to talk about the Native Americans is because I live in Mammoth Lakes, CA. The next town below Mammoth has a Native American tribe. I plan on incorporating some of my experiences/ the stories I've heard in my project.

    In your essay, did you end up focusing on the Native American tribe near your hometown? I also studied an ethnic group, focusing my research on Asian American access to healthcare in California. It would be interesting to see if you also found any information regarding California's efforts to create more accessible healthcare for ethnic minorities.

  In the medical show, The Good Doctor , the show follows Dr. Murphy on his journey of earning respect through the medical field. His colleagues continuously question/ignore the advice given by him. His autism is considered a flaw in the medical field until he proves it is a miracle. As his mind remains calm in difficult situations, he brings the best outcomes.  In the beginning, there was a kid hurt by shattered glass. A doctor came rushing over but could not help the kid. Murphy stepped in to use his processing knowledge to solve the situation. The parents were reluctant of Murphy's help at first because of his autism. However, Dr. Murphy proved his helpfulness by laying out numerous possible scenarios and the best course of action to take.  Moving into the middle of the season, Dr. Murphy becomes more confident in telling others when they are wrong. He begins to gain faith in himself. This was lacking in season one as he let other doctors talk over him.  There are many other st

     For my writing project three topic, I will discuss the ethical dilemma with scientists editing DNA in human embryos. So far, I have gathered some information on the benefits and negative attributes. A positive that has the scientific community excited about is being able to cut/take out defects in DNA. So if a mutation is spotted, all the scientists have to do is cut out the problem to cure the condition. A quick and effective way. As for a negative, quite a significant amount of people expressed the long term challenges socially. Many scientists say that having people biologically smarter will create a superiority aspect among people. There are more facts about this topic but this is the direction I am heading in.

  I have decided to continue with my topic on Native Americans. In looking for sources, I found numerous articles, journals, newspapers and etc. I will say some sources were hard to connect to the topic as they did not relate to tribes in health care. I had to redo my key words in the searching process. Some key words I used when searching for my sources were, Native American health care and Native American health care problems. These helped me narrow the search on what I should included with my paper. Here are some links to a few sources I found.  Diversity & Inclusion in Clinical Trials, https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/resources/understanding-health-disparities/diversity-and-inclusion-in-clinical-trials.html   “To account for the diverse lived experiences and exposures of various populations, clinical trials must be appropriately inclusive of racial and ethnic minority groups, as well as other populations experiencing health disparities, including sexual and gender minority or socioec
