What do you like about this subject?  People often find tremendous comfort in reliable health information. Learning more about a diagnosis helps people formulate better questions for their physicians and health care providers. Each of us must be informed advocates for our own medical care, and for the care of those we love.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  How to quickly ascertain the specific question within the question... when the writer is not sitting in front of me.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  The provision of reliable health information is something at which our government agencies - specifically the National Institutes of Health, National Library of Medicine, Centers for Disease Control, to name only a few - has excelled.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Is sex education still taught at all? I have received dozens of "could I be pregnant?" questions that make it absolutely clear how shockingly misinformed American teenagers and/or young adults are about basic human sexuality and reproduction.
