EXAMPLE: 
You did an excellent job of listing and referencing the several musculoskeletal diseases.  I like the way your essay was structured.  Makes for an easy read.  I have not had any experience working with patients with any of the above ailments, but I have a lot of experience with osteoarthritis.  Many of my family members suffer from this, such as my husband.  It has gotten progressively worse over the last year.  My husband suffers from extreme lower back pain and sciatica, which radiates through his hips, knees, and lower leg.  It's to the point that his right knee swells and his lower leg goes numb.  My husband is in constant pain from the time he wakes up, to the time he goes to sleep.  He's considering spinal fusion because he fractured his L4 and also has Spondylosis, which is a slipped disc.  This is the reason for the sciatica.
