This week has been crazy busy. We have had all kinds of animals, with all kinds of issues. We've been so busy that our appointments have been back to back, with little time between. This kind of sucks for the patients since we only have two rooms, and usually one doctor on staff, but we are pretty efficient and everyone gets in and out in a timely manner.

The “Sociological Perspective on Health and the Health Care” introduced perspectives about social structure, and social relations. The readers learn the sociological theory and the main misconceptions related to health care, and their policies. It provides an explanation of the production and the distribution of health care services. Firstly, structural functionalism focuses on individuals and groups in society and how it maintains a social role. Furthermore, symbolic interactionism focus on the conflicts in interaction amongst individuals. Moreover, social constructionism focuses on the medical facts and social authority and the reign over all in society. Also, gender and race influence the social conditions, and implications evident in Canadian health. Class conflicts with the control of power and the relationship between the employers and employees. It enhances the inequality evident in workplaces and the social stratification; ranking one by their assets. Materialism portrays that society is a social consensus rather than a conflict. However, this conflicts between the rich and the poor. Therefore, the healthcare impacts the minority, and affects it the most. Since the rich have an advantage of other options, however the minority struggles to afford private health care or buy their way around.

Bullying often associated with one kid being cruel to another kid, evolved beyond the playground, and move into adulthood. Unfortunately, bullying has emerged into the workplace, aptly called workplace bullying.

There are two different ways that the heath care system is structured; the Dawson model, where the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of care have a distinct line drawn between them and where primary care is the first point of access with the health care system, or the other model, where patients go directly to a specialist of their own choosing without referral from someone in the health care field. The first model is the preferred model as it focuses on a coordinated primary health care system where health care resources are divided equally amongst communities.
