Prevention is better than cure
Today the Vodafone Warriors and nurses and doctors came to our school and they talked to us about sore throats and skin problems. An ex- warrior, Awen Guttenbeil told us about his experience with rheumatic fever. He said when he was a little he didn't care about having a sore throat. When he was nine years old he got really sick and when his mum took him to the hospital.He was told that he had rheumatic fever. At our school we have a student who has rheumatic fever since she was 6 years old, once a month Crystal, the student has an injection.
Dr Alison Leversha who works in starship hospital told us how to stay healthy by being clean and cutting your nails so that the bacteria doesn't get stuck underneath your nails helps prevents you getting Rheumatic fever. We had a 25 minute talk and afterwards we went outside and got a poster signed by all three of the Warriors. The message is if you feel sick, you've got to tell someone.”
