During the trial his recollection of the facts wavered. The medical staff does not recall Redman referencing the scratch. One theory is the gangrene was brought on by working in a wet environment on the ship and sleeping in a cold environment due to the steam being turned off in the hull of the ship. The dousing of hot water on the foot, aggravated the wound, and blistered the skin. The medical staff did agree that the gangrene Redman suffered from was the dry type, which could not have resulted from the given elements. It was proved beyond a doubt that an infected wound was not discovered at the hospital. If the gangrene had been the wet type, then the periarterial sympathectomy procedure would not have been performed. However, the information about the type of gangrene Redman contracted was not mentioned in court for the jury to way. [Note…

Dehydration is when your body has lost too many fluids. Water is one of the most important nutrients to our body; the human body is from 55 percent to about 78 percent of water. The average person loses water consistently by doing everyday activities and sweating, breathing and eliminating waste. Water removes toxins and waste products from the body and puts nutrients into the body. Dehydration affects many people for many different reasons. Water has a HUGE effect on people when it comes to dehydration and other health issues. From what I see, the average person does not drink near enough water on a daily basis. Why is that? Well I believe it is because there are other fluids out there that taste better, so why drink water? We are all aware that water is healthy for us, but naturally we choose to drink stuff that taste better. Well there are plenty reasons to why you should drink water. For example, water fights off illnesses; water is an important nutrient to the immune system. Water is also important to help digest food and get rid of waste. Water also helps the skin look and stay healthy, staying hydrated keeps all the toxins away and keeps the skin from drying out and you feeling better! When you drink water you are actually helping your heart too, water helps thin blood and pump the heart which means that your heart is working less and will have fewer heart problems. Water has many important functions to the body. For example, water regulates the body’s temperature, lubricates the joints in the body, helps prevent constipation, and reduces the load on kidneys and liver by flushing out the waste products. When your body does not get enough water, it becomes dehydrated. The effects of dehydration can be dreadfully serious if it is not treated. Some of the symptoms of dehydration are; headache, dry mouth, exhaustion, dizziness and/or weakness of the body. Not drinking enough water will cause a person to not feel well or not feel themselves; it will make you…
