The paper I chose is about people with schizophrenia having excessive thirst and impaired water excretion causing imbalances in the blood levels of certain minerals and leading to death at times. The paper talks about structural changes in the brain as well as impaired brain function as compared to people without these issues. I am cutting down the paper into its essentials and will re-write it in my own words. The main problem I have with the paper is that it has too many acronyms and jargon. It is reading like alphabet soup. I have already spent four hours on it and have not finished. I need to rest and come back to it. It's beginning to become all a blur in my head. I hope to finish my first draft by tonight and send it to others to edit. I am having a headache. Oh well, I hope one day I can do this faster and more efficiently. For now, I will be satisfied with what I can do. I'm doing pretty well given the fact my experience in writing lay summaries is only one so far. Lol, what a joke! Many people want to write for the public about health topics, but it ain't easy.
