Process Paper
How did you choose your topic?
The medical laser is the choice of surgery today. It seems that most surgeons would choose this option if available. LASIK is a procedure known to many, so I wanted to research what other types of laser surgeries are available. I decided it would be an appropriate topic as it relates to the theme, turning points in history, for the medical field.
How did you conduct your research?
I researched many key surgical procedures on the internet, spoke to doctors, saw videos of procedures, viewed procedures, and communicated with email with other resources to collect my research.
How did you select your presentation category and create your project?
I decided to make a website because my older brother created a website last year and he is great resource. I knew he would enjoy helping me and teaching me this technology to present my work. I knew my brother could help me along the way if I got stuck. I created my project by finding some interesting information and used this information to put together my site.
How does your project relate to this year’s NHD theme?
A turning point is when something makes a major impact or difference. The medical laser fits this perfectly. The medical laser was a major turning point in the medical field. The world of surgery has erupted with the precision and accuracy with the medical laser, and we can now perform procedures quicker and safer. The patients recover faster and healthier. Therefore, the medical laser relates to this year’s theme, turning points in history.
