Welcome!

Welcome to Normative Medicine!

This blog will be about many different problems regarding medicine facing society today and my beliefs on how we should solve the problems. It will be a hybrid of reviews, opinion, and prescription. 

I have always wanted to become a doctor and a researcher in medicine. However, one thing kept me away from approaching medicine and criticizing it. This one thing was fear of being small. I thought I was too young or not knowledgeable enough in the field of medicine to make correct judgments or opinions. After all, I'm only a college student. What can I do? Everything. I realized I have as much power as anyone out there. I have the right to speak up and express my own opinions about medicine and what should be done with it. After all, medicine and access to medical care is a human right, not an exclusive topic which only the elites talk about over dinner. Actually, everyone should be talking about medicine daily. It's the thing that's keeping us alive. 

The format of each blog post will be the following. I will first introduce an issue within 2-3 paragraphs and then insert my own opinions in the last 2-3 paragraphs. My goal here is to make it short and sweet. If you want to learn more about a topic, please go through places like JStor. My site is primarily for introducing things and making opinions on things, not describing things in terms of how they work. 

I'm very passionate about health-related issues and at times, I might get feisty and harshly criticize something. Please don't take anything that I say personally. 

I warmly welcome any contributions. Please email me at jhk931@gmail.com if you would like to contribute. 

Look forward to sharing my ideas with you all!
