Grey’s Anatomy

I watched an episode of Grey’s Anatomy and in this episode there is a man named Jerry who has man tree syndrome skin condition that causes tree like warts on the skin. This illness is rare and the causes for the illness is gene mutation. Jerry does not want to get out of the car to see a doctor, he is covering his face and the doctors are standing out his car with his wife letting him know that the doctors can help. When he gets out one of the nurses screams when she says to him. There is no cure and he has to keep going back to the hospital to get surgeries so that he it does not get worse. Although after surgery there were able to remove most of it his skin still did not look like how it used to be. His wife sits beside him asking the doctor if he is always going to look like a freak. There are social judgements to this because it is rare and people are just not used to seeing someone with this. When they see someone who does not fit the ideal look, people start to judge even though like in this case the person has no control over it. As I mentioned, even the nurse screamed which is very unprofessional and it just made the person feel worse.

My name is Jocelyn Gonzalez my pronouns are she/her I grew up in the Bay Area, in Fremont and Newark. I am still located in Newark. I am glad I stayed in Newark since I have family here. I enjoy commuting to school although sometimes the traffic is horrible. My major is sociology and I have a minor in criminal justice. I took a death and dying course last semester and in that course we discussed medicine. When I was going through the elective courses I knew I wanted to learn more about medical sociology. I am looking forward to learning more about this subject and I am also excited that this online course is different than the previous ones I have taken.
