Excellent week in Path! The essays that were turned in regarding melanoma and other skin cancers were fantastic. I am proud of you. This week we had fun studying the musculoskeletal system. And, the books came in! Hooray!
The essay: Each student is to pick a medication from the list in Table 4-2. The student is to research and turn in a one and a half page report on which musculoskeletal diseases are treated using that medication. The paper should address the function of the particular medication and how that medication and/or disease might affect massage considerations. You may use any sources for your research but keep in mind:
1. cite your sources
2. you need at least one source that is not your text book
