    Courage is essential in the nursing profession; but not as essential as caring. Caring is known to be the central aspect of nursing by many professionals (Petrou et al., 2017). “Care is the essence of nursing and the central, dominant, and unifying feature of nursing” according to Leininger in the article by Dahlke and Stahlke (2017). However, care can be shown in many different forms. Larson and Ferketich describe caring not only as a physical treatment, but also encompassing empathy and feeling of safety with your nurse (Petrou et al., 2017).…

    "Whereupon a strange euphoria came over me. Not only was I exiled, paralyzed, mute, half deaf, deprived of all pleasures, and reduced to the existence of a jellyfish, but I was also horrible to behold" (Bauby 27). This is a quote from Jean-Dominique Bauby's memoir entitled The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, in which the editor-in-chief of the French version of Elle magazine describes his very rare neurological disorder called Locked-in Syndrome. Locked-in syndrome, or Cerbromedullospinal Disconnection, is the complete and total paralysis of all voluntary muscles except for the eyes. It can also be described as a pseudocoma, where the person cannot move or speak but remains conscious and awake.…

    Some of the issue brought up by the documentary “How to Die in Oregon” are: • Stress in the family members: Looking at the several cases in the documentary, it is imperative that witnessing the loved ones die in front of us, is very challenging for the rest of the family members. As in Roger’s case, while he was asked if he knows what kind of decision he has made, he admits that he wants to die happily, and as he drinks the medication and lay down in his bed, he says “Ah! It’s coming, my head is hanging low, and I am hearing the voice calling me”, which was very touching. Also in Peter’s case, when his wife Gail was asked how she would react about her husband’s decision, she bursts into tears and says “This is the way he has thought for a long time.…

    In The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, there are two case studies of proprioception. Proprioception is described as our “sixth sense”. As Dr. Oliver Sacks explains, we have five senses but there are other senses that are considered secret-senses or sixth senses which are just as vital as the other senses but go unrecognized. “It is the awareness of the relative position of the trunk and limbs, derived from receptors in the joints and tendons.” For normal people, in normal situations, these secret-senses simply do not exist.…

    To most, death is merely a definite action that marks the end of one's life. To others, death can be seen twice in a person's life. The most obvious is the physical death of someone, accompanied with a funeral, coffin, and a period of mourning. The second form of death can occur anytime throughout a person's lifespan, usually stemming from a devastating event that causes one to lose who he or she is on the inside and making him or her zombie-like. Wide Sargasso Sea, a novel by Jean Rhys inspired from Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, demonstrates this idea of two deaths.…

    Part One: Losses Case Study: “The Disembodied Lady” Summary: Christina is a mother and programmer who has suddenly lost her proprioception, which refers to her sense of “self”, meaning that she does not feel “aware” of her body. More specifically, she feels paralyzed and disembodied because of her condition, even though she has slowly regained the ability to move again by using her mind. Initially this sensation appeared to her prior to a gallbladder surgery in a frightening dream, in which she lost all control of her limbs, but when she called a psychiatrist and asked about what the dream meant he dismissed the dream as “pre-operative anxiety” (45). Later, however, her symptoms from the dream began to actualise and she was left unable to…
