-Out of the multiple meaningful concepts in our lesson, the one that has struck me most is scoliosis. It is a deformity in bone formation characterized by the sideways curvature of the spine. I learned that the main causes of this deformity are still uncertain, but that factors such as age, sex, and family history play a great role. This concept is highly relevant to my life because my mother, who works as a nurse, developed this deformity ever since her adolescent years. Throughout her life, she struggled with back pains as the main complication. Understanding this topic better could give me a window into the experiences of people like my mother who suffer from scoliosis, and in turn, equip me with the necessary skillset for taking care of patients with such condition.
