Furthermore, the journal can function as a catalyst for other professionals to enhance their own skills, develop new techniques, solve problems or for general knowledge. For example, if we analyse a particular article within the journal-- “Modern management of acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding”-- we can drastically understand more about management of gastrointestinal bleeding. Within the article there are many visuals of cases of the gastrointestinal bleeding to be able to detect in a real world scenario. Furthermore, in chronological order, the authors depict the certain scenarios of when the gastrointestinal bleeding can be prevalent, causes and various treatments to this …show more content…
Other than the topic being drastically different than the previous article, the structure also varies greatly between the two. In “Allocating Organs to Cognitively Impaired Patients” there is strictly a text analysis and description of research that has been done on this topic. In addition, there are no visuals to offer a visual perspective for the reader like in the previous article which made it more appealing to the eye on the first glance. Regardless of their contrasting information both journals and the articles within provide the audience, medical professionals, with insightful information that is critical to their profession and our future

While the jargon may be difficult to comprehend at first it is a beneficial tactic to use. She goes on to explain that she learned to love the so called “language” and it became very easy to use once learned. Professional jargon is beneficial because it allows the nurse or doctor to write notes quickly, it allows a rather effective way for medical professionals to communicate with each other even when they work in different areas, it also allows the medical professionals to feel like a community.

The stark contrast in beliefs, values, and cultures between Lia’s parents and those of the physicians tending to Lia eventually snowballed into a series of colossal misunderstandings that ultimately left Lia in a persistent vegetative state. Although both sides had Lia’s best interest in mind, the failure of Lia’s doctors to dig deeper into Lia’s story, background, and culture, in addition…
