end of first week

My first week at internship was nice. I got to meet a good amount of kind people and got to do something that I haven't done yet. The survey that I made for the ride-alongs was based around a company called Planetree. They are a company that has a vision of making healthcare better by having patient being treated by actual humans and being cared for with emotional support instead of being treated as just another case that they need to solve. I was very interested in this when I was researching because many people complain about how they are mistreated in healthcare yet no on really goes out to make a huge change about that until now. Planetree started out by a girl named Angelica Thieriot that was very sick and the medical crew that was taking care of her didn't really pay attention to her as a person. They just treated her health problem but did not care about her, they just walk in and out without paying attention to how she feels through this process. That is what Planetree whats to prevent they want to treat human beings like human beings. I think that this is a good idea and now there are facilities in the country and even in this state that are Plantree medical facilities.
