"Please, I want to live". Im sorry, you dont have money


Dear all, today my post is about the film: SICKO

Sicko is a movie that shows the health system in different countries, including stories of different people.


Personally, this movie I liked a lot because it allowed me to meet other health systems around the world, how they work, generating repercussions on the population, changes in the lives of different people, etc.
It is impressive to see two people from different countries, which share the same disease can have such different outcomes in health care, as the latter varies in the country in which it is located, for example, in the U.S. we can see that to receive attention, you must pay a large sum of money only for covers a few things. Also, if you go for any type of emergency, first they observe if you can or not pay this.

In contrast, in countries like France, Canada, England, you only have that to go to the health center and you will be served immediately without distinction to anyone. This system is funded for each person by taxes, which guarantees free health care (public health system). This dynamic does not mean that the service is bad, on the contrary, the users report that is high quality and fast.

In Chile is trying to achieve this system, and with this purpose was created the AUGE, which until now could not work perfectly, because it requires changes like give more money to this for upgrade the standard, the quality, the coverage, etc.

Well, this is my opinion.

Are you sure that you are aborting?


Dear all, In this oportunity the blog is about Dr. Valenzuela talk: the postovulatory effects of levornorgestrel in emergency contraception, and what do i think of this.


First, Why is this topic so controversial?, This topic, the use of drugs with the object the contraception, is the BIG problem, because this concept have direct relation with the abortion, and it is a topic in discussion yet, Why?, because the investigators have concept different about abortion, for example, the biologists say that the life begin when is formed the zigoto, and if you provokes the dead of this from here, you are provoking abortion.

Dr. Valenzuela's view point about the use levonorgestrel is that provoke contraception preventing the conception, through different mechanisms: It prevents ovulation (anovulatory effect), preventing the union of egg and sperm, preventing that these from joining the egg (contraceptive effect) and, in discuss yet, alters the internal walls of the uterus (the endometrium) preventing the implantation embryo in the uterus.


Is important to consider that the levornorgestrel is a drug that when you use in emergency contraceptive, while earlier you take it after the intercourse, the greater the possibility that pregnancy does not happen.

Now, with this information and drugs we could prevent the unwanted pregnancy or a pregnancy that generates product of rape, although it is a sensitive issue because it is difficult to address them, is good to consider that there are methods to avoid and prevent, especially in rape.

This is the blog and I hope you like.
