Mercy General Hospital (MGH) is considering altering the recipes for two of the egg entrées served to patients at breakfast. They would like to replace the eggs with egg substitute in the breakfast bake and veggie omelet, in order to make the entrées compliant for a heart healthy diet. This idea is in response to complaints from patients that the heart healthy breakfast menu is too repetitive. MGH has a Heart and Vascular Center, therefore they consistently have a high amount of patients who are on a heart healthy diet, and would like to accommodate their preferences. The breakfast bake and veggie omelet are each served once a week on the regular and consistent carbohydrate diets, but patients on a heart healthy diet receive scrambled eggs every day of the week.…

I saw a possible gastrointestinal lymphoma , which was odd for myself considering the fact that I thought lymphoma was only considering the lymph nodes. I was also able to see an I&D of the perineal and groin area. That had to be the most disgusting yet intriguing to me.…

She addresses how medical resources within the ward are critical and the knowledge of cancer within the citizens is poor. Her ethnography takes place primary in the ward, where patients enter the doors every day with critical conditions of cancer, and where the doctors, specifically…

The large number of medical facilities with varying means of funding allows people to receive care to find quality care regardless of their insurance and finical status.…

For the project, Arlette and I decided to go to North Shore Medical Center on Friday September 30th 2016 at 5:00 pm. The elevators in the hospital setting were very calm and quiet, but visitors and health professionals were going up and down nonstop. While breaking the norm, the number of observers were about one to five each ride and the specific age group were around 45 years old and most of them were Hispanics or African-Americans. My behavior while breaking this norm actually shocked me because I am not a shy person but during this project facing the victims in the elevator made me very uncomfortable.…
