  Living our lives allows us to grow as individuals. Exploring new places opens us up to new perspectives and ways of living. Trying new activities expands our skill sets. It is because of this that many experts recommend going out and living their lives to people who are feeling down. However, exposing ourselves to various opportunities also opens us up to different kinds of threats to our physical well-being. While there are threats that are widely recognized and therefore well prepared for, there are also those threats that people seem to not have proper defenses against. In this article, we outline three of the most common health hazards that people seem to be very oblivious to. Medical Malpractice In many societies, lawyers and doctors seem to occupy the top spots in the profession hierarchy. People who hold medical and legal degrees seem to easily get the respect and admiration of the people around them. Together with respect and admiration often comes a special level of trust. People somehow trust that lawyers know what they’re doing when it comes to legal battles. For their part, doctors are entrusted with making the right diagnosis, taking the right steps in a medical procedure, and providing the proper level of care to their patients. With that, people seem to forget that medical professionals are humans who are capable of making mistakes. Sometimes, the mistakes that they make lead to injuries, aggravation of present symptoms, and even death in very extreme cases. It is during these times that competent lawyers from institutions such as Tinker Law Firm become very helpful. Medical malpractice cases are often challenging to win, so the assistance of able professionals is really needed. Second-Hand Smoke Smoking is widely recognized as a health hazard. There are already many campaigns against it. However, not as many have been made against the dangers of second-hand smoke. Because of this, children, the elderly, and other members of the vulnerable sectors are getting sick simply because they are around smokers too often. Sex Sex is as condemned and obscured as it is enjoyed and celebrated at various points in a person’s lifespan. Given the rather two-faced attitude toward it, many of those who want to enjoy sex tend to hide and stay mum about their affairs. This is problematic because while the actual sex should be kept private, the fact that a person is having it should be made known, especially to attending health professionals. Sex poses different kinds of health risks, and on top of the list is transmission of STDs such as HIV infection. The individuals who decide to be sexually active should be equipped with the right knowledge and skills to keep themselves safe. Among the most common pro-health behaviors in this context are the use of condoms, regular HIV testing, and being faithful to only one partner. Health hazards are not always obvious. Some come in the most pleasurable of ways such as sex and smoking for some. It is important for everyone to know where health risks come from so that they’d be able to protect themselves well.
