    Being poor is a chronic condition and the only cure is money.

    Being a minority is a genetic condition for which there is no cure.

    The funny thing is, neither of these are a problem with the individual, but a problem with society itself. We, collectively, are the disease, and these pre-existing conditions make it much easier to contract.

    Medicine needs to be approached holistically. Especially for primary care. Stress is absolutely a factor in holistic care. A collegiate trimester is 12-13 weeks, and a semester is 15-17. I suspect this wasn’t the only topic covered in class.
