when he can simply memorize the actual medical terms. He comments that learning all the word components is a waste of time. Why is it important to learn word components?

Answer:

It is important to learn the prefixes and suffixes because it not only helps in improving the reading but it can also help to understand the term itself

In medical field, if u just learn the prefixes and suffixes and their meaning (because they are either Greek or Latin words), you don't need to memorize all the names of diseases and other terminology because you understand the components. For example 1 prefix or suffix can be used in many other places :

The suffix "genesis" is a Greek word, meaning to produce something. It can be used in many terms

  • Osteogenesis
  • Gametogensis
  • Pathogensis

In all  these words, we know something is being produced, even if we don't know the word, it gives us a hint.!

Itll be smarter to know the affixes instead because then you can infer what the meaning is instead of having to memorize words

Why do you think that Arjun must continue to take antibiotics for five weeks following his release from the hospital
3241004551 [841]

TLDR: Antibiotics must be taken several weeks to fully kill the bacteria. Else, surviving bacteria develops drug resistance.

Antibiotic prescription really depends on the patient's condition. Some conditions like major surgery or diseases that cause immunosuppression are more prone to bacterial infection, thus they must take antibiotics for prolonged periods of time to fight their current infections or prevent further infections.

Antibiotics, as a general rule, must be given 7 days or several weeks (depending on the bacteria/pathogen) to be sure that all the disease-causing bacteria are dead. If the drugs are taken only until symptoms fade, the surviving bacteria (now fewer in number and not causing symptoms) will develop mutations that may help resist the previously-taken antibiotic, giving rise to drug resistance.

Thus, Arjun must take the antibiotics for several weeks more (according to the doctor's orders, of course) to kill all remaining bacteria and also to prevent bacterial drug resistance. Which is really problematic, since we're slowly losing our number of effective antibiotics.
