DAY 2: The Health Care Journey continues

The second week felt a lot more like your basic trainee course. I learned about the Packard Pacers and their walking group at Packard Health, which only cost about five dollars. Also I happened to learn about some of the different kind of machines and medicines that diabetics use. Do you know what the A1c test is? If you don't know it is, it's a test that every diabetic has to take about every three months. I happened to find out that my blood sugar level is 114, if it was over 200 then I would be considered to have diabetes. Another thing I happened to be apart of is, learning about the website needymeds.com. Needymeds.com is basically a website that has almost every medicine company on file, and Packard Health uses this particular site to get certain kinds of medicines for patients. Also this specific site contains online applications from companys for patients and medical staff to fill out. This is only the tip of the iceberg, so I can't wait to see what happens next!!
