Week 13 Question 3
My persuasive speech is all about The Informed Patient, so I thought that this week I would talk about The Uninformed Audience. I feel like my topic is not something that many would think about if they weren't familiar with the healthcare field. I intend to show that my topic is important and show the audience that I have expertise on the subject. I have many personal experiences that I intend to speak about that will help with my credibility. I will address both sides/perspectives of my topic as well as be subtle with my persuasion. I want to inform people about my issue, then let them know that there are ways to inform themselves that they should maybe be doing what I'm saying instead. I just want everyone to know what they are asking for when they go to the doctor, not just say something because Dr. Oz said it was right. He doesn't always have all the details. He is more of a persuasive speaker on his shows but he tends to be more one sided. I will show both sides.

I am very intrigued and can't wait to hear your speach. I am in the medical field and am always telling patients to research things, ask questions, and get multiple opinions. All doctors are different and all illnesses are different in different patients. One sympton will be one thing in a certain person and something completely different in the next. We are all different thus meaning our bodies repond differently to things. With that being said, I also think people need to 'listen' to their bodies more closely as it tells us more than we know. If a person is 'in tune' with theirself, they are far more likely to catch something early than the the person who is oblivious. On the flip side of this, there are those people who spend all waking hours on web MD and think they have every illness known to mankind. There is a happy medium and every person will vary with this. We just all need to pay attention and listen. This will get us much farther in life
