Science or Evidence?

Science or Evidence?
David Callejo, an anaesthesiologist, spends his free time
making videos on social networks to explain to his
followers the most common doubts about everyday
health problems.

Today you are becoming him. But how?

These are the instructions:

1 First, you're going to write on a piece of paper in

around five lines a health problem that you have. It can
be realted to sports, nutrition, illnesses, health in
general, lifestyle, etc.
2 You're going to throw it into the 'ask me a question
box'. After that, you will pick up a paper from a
classmate. You will have then to answer that classmate
through an informal email.

3 Finally, you will record your one minute answer on an

IG story and will upload it to the platform.

Dear Al,
1
I am sorry to hear that you have stress and anxiety. I know that you are very busy and
you're usually with a lot to do for school. As a result, you are always blocked
2
because you are quite overwhelmed and nervous.

Regarding your situation, I agree that it's difficult not to prioritize your duties or 3
use technological devices to complete your tasks. But you shouldn't spend too many
hours under that pressure because that causes you some psychological damage.

For this reason, you have to make a plan: you have to buy a daily planner and write on
it only the urgent weekly goals. There is a difference between urgent and important. 4
You mustn't have an unlimited working schedule, as you should enjoy some 'me time'
like for example, reading your fav book or have a bubble bath. You can also cook a
healthy dish such as a homemade lasagna. Hopefully, you'll soon feel less anxious.

I really hope to hear from you soon. 5

Take care,6
Dr. David C.
