My hypothesis that I’m reviewing is a casual one, which is “poor health is the main reason why people become homeless”. Poor health is closely associated with homelessness. For families struggling to pay the rent, a serious illness or disability can start a downward spiral into homelessness, beginning with a lost job, depletion of savings to pay for care, and eventual eviction (National Health Care for the Homeless Council, 2008).

I need a career that will allow me to help a large number of people, accentuate prevention and primary care rather than tertiary care. A career that will consistently challenge and stimulate me to improve.

Human bodies are delicate and as such, they deserve to be treated with utmost care and professionalism. This is the reason why training is essential for all people working in the healthcare sector. There are a number of regulatory bodies that are also set in place to weed out quacks that are out to exploit quick bucks from the unsuspecting public (Eve A. Kerr, 2000).
