Prevention is better than Cure...


Prevention is better than cure

Walt: respond to the presentation given by the public health dept.

This morning at our school Glen Innes School. A lot of nurses came to our school to talk about Rheumatic Fever we were all excited because the Vodafone Warriors came also. The Vodafone warriors came to our school to encourage us that getting a swap in your throat is not scary. Doctor Alison Leversha from the Starship Hospital also came to our school to tell us to always wash and protect our skin so no dirty germs/bugs could get into our skin.

A man named Awen Guttenbeil an ex warrior player talked to us about his journey through life when Awen was 9 he had gotten sick but he never treated it because he wanted to compete in the sports that he liked then but he couldn’t move his joints were sore and he could not walk or move because he was paralysed.

I think the message that the nurses and the warriors came is to tell is to always protect our skin and wash your hands at all times. This whole thing thing was based on Rheumatic fever and were trying to fight it.
