Medical Intervention- Menignitis

Menignitis is the disease we had diagnosed Sue Smith with. This disease is a very painful and slow disease. It is mainly located in the cranial cavity inside the brain, all the way through the vertebrea, down into the nervous system. Basically this disease eats away all of these important body organs. Some of the long term effects of this disease are memory loss, headaches, clumsiness, siezers, speech problems, and loss of sight. A lot of the treatments include antibiotics, because most people are sick for around 3 days, then all better in about 2 weeks. But for some of the more serious patients, oxygen therapy is required, with blood levels constantly being checked for any rise or decrease in normal pressure. Menignitis comes from the word meninges, which are membranes that cover the brain. The word "itis" means that that area is inflamed. So this in fact makes the word "Menignitis". If I were to react to this prediciment, I would first let the campus know what was going around. After that I would advise antibiotics and shots as soon as possible for any of the people who might think they have the Menignitis virus. Once that is done I would order them to stay in doors and to drink lots of fluids, because that is known to prevent anymore swelling.
