blood sugar which in turn gives hypoglycemia. He uses percentages and statistics from research to support his arguments. He also shows that hypoglycemia is not the only disease that affects poor people. There is appendicitis too. Unlike hypoglycemia, the percentage of people with appendicitis is constant for the entire month. Therefore, only disease tie to hunger need considerations. The writer proposes some solutions that can help to fight hypoglycemia. Nevertheless, his line of reasoning…

Diagnostic testing for the patient with acute appendicitis included magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a Karl Storz image of the appendix. An MRI is a non-invasive technique in which the patient is placed in a magnetic field to examine their body anatomy (Pagana & Pagana, 2014). This form of diagnostic testing provides healthcare professionals with imaging on a specific area of the body with the ability to differentiate between blood vessels, necrotic, and healthy tissue (Pagana & Pagana,…

always played soccer and I always enjoyed doing exercises. I was addicted to do any kind of sports. I am a person that I like to eat healthy foods and do exercises. I never thought I would get sick of appendicitis. The scariest moment of my life occurred when I needed to go emergency surgery for appendicitis and peritonitis. The day started out like any other day, it was a Saturday and it was a sunny day. I lived with my girlfriend at home and we decided to go to the movies. We ordered a big…

Reginald Punnett was a very interesting man. When he was a young boy, he suffered appendicitis. Now, appendicitis is where there is a very strong pain in your appendix. To carry on, during one of his recuperative periods, he began to read all sorts of books. His father had actually bought him tons and tons of books because Reginald found it all very fascinating, and was quite interested in it. Now, years and years have passed and he’s now in college. He originally was planning on graduating…

My friends are a very important part of my identity. I have three main friends from Kuna that are super important to me, Mikayla, Anthony, and Caela. They all have gotten me through tough times like when my brother had appendicitis, when my sister had her baby and when I switched schools. When I was in fifth grade my sister had a baby in December. This wasn’t really a bad thing but, it was still hard on me because my sister and I hung out all the time and she was my favorite person to…

gasping sobs, the nurse still stick the IV into my wrist. The normal tests were completed, and my blood was drawn. It was about an hour after all these tests were completed that I actually saw a doctor. The doctor did not think I was having an appendicitis but decided that I still needed a CT scan. The doctor walked me into a cold, white room with only one big machine in it. I was told to sit down on the medical bed that was going to slide into the machine. The doctor injected my IV with a…

For instance, appendicitis is one of the most difficult conditions to diagnose. It is common knowledge among physicians that symptoms for appendicitis are similar to other diseases such as gastroenteritis, urinary tract infection, and Crohn's disease. In addition, the pain is never specific in appendicitis, and the location of the appendix varies in individuals (Levine, et al. 792). Canders, et al point out that "an inflamed and dilated ureter may mimic appendicitis" from an ultrasound, and…

wrong. A searing pain in my abdomen woke me up at five in the morning. I felt the pain in my lower-right quadrant. In anatomy class two days prior, I had learned that my appendix was located within that same area. I was frightened that I may have appendicitis. My uncle, a surgeon, reached the same conclusion. I dragged myself to my parents’ cabin, with each step increasing the pain. My dad carried and threw me into the car. After an agonizing 20 minute drive, we made it to the Waynesboro…

Surgeons have the ability to quickly inspire a patient to trust them as they work together towards an immediate solution to an emergent problem, whether it’s appendicitis, cholecystitis, or hernia repair. This appeals to me because I can see the product of the surgery: my patient’s pain diminished, improvements in daily function, and a pleasant demeanor. My interest in offering culturally competent surgical care for the underprivileged began at an early age. I was 4 years old when I asked my…

contribute to this and further injury as well. The side effects of some of the medicine that she would have to take if the procedures are not made, could greatly affect her immediate health—like blood clots or extreme bleeding. The risk of undetected appendicitis would be greater for her because she could not communicate if she feels pain in her appendix region. And the risk of breast cancer would be something to consider when talking about her immediate health. While all of these factors are…
