Decent Essays
As they hooked me up to all sorts of things, IV’s, oxygen mask, took off my shirt my husband and son watched, I kept say bye and I didn’t even know why, maybe because before I ended in a surgery room having a C-section? I thought I was going to die? I don’t know I had been watching movies of all sorts and for some reason I was scare and day dreaming of bad stuff. Suddenly the pain intensified, I couldn’t take it anymore, I was screaming like a desperate animal; it was like I had a tiger inside me desperate to get off the cage, rip me break me, and tear me a apart, the more I screamed the more desperate my son became… suddenly he was in bed with me and the midwife was calling the nurses, I only heard her say: “The head is right out!” they

    While I was enlisted in the US Navy, I was privileged to attend the Naval School of Health Sciences, and study Surgical Technology. I graduated with honors, but unfortunately, the military at the time was not paying for its Surgical Tech graduates to nationally certify.

    Before I went to the hospital my family and friends tried really hard to keep me calm before this big endeavor that would change my life forever. One of the things they did was talk to my pastor at my church about blessing me before the surgery. My priest blessed me by saying in a holy voice, “Please God protect Emily from all harm during this surgery, and please be with her during this hard experience.” Another wonderful gesture my family did for me was put on a birthday party, since my birthday was only a couple days after my surgery when I would be still recovering. After the celebration came to a close I went upstairs to go to bed, but before I fell asleep my mother came into the room with a gloomy look on her face.…

    Most little girls dream of being a ballerina when they grow up, I was the little girl who dreamed of medical school. Anyone who was brave enough to ask got my vehement no when asked if I thought that the college, subsequent medical school, and training would be too much school or that I would get bored. I decided very early that to be a doctor was one of the most exciting things that a person could chose to be and my fantastic pediatrician was the initial spark for this love of medicine. The care that I could see him exhibit in his daily operations as well as the ease at which he interacted with patients and parents alike inspired me. His knowledge was fascinating and I longed to have that level of understanding of the human body.…

    Yesterday, Oct 25, 2016, at 2:15p.m. , my soul mate, CMSGT (ret) Elmo Gladden, passed away peacefully surrounded by his immediate family. His death was due to complications from a second open heart surgery---while all surgeries are a risk, I would surmise to say that open heart surgery is especially risky. However, we did not know such serious complications would occur, thus leading us on a roller coaster ride of despair, hopefulness then doom for seven days.…

    While the pain is fresh and the glory is sweet, I decided to write this article about my experience running the marathon and how in my opinion, it correlates metaphorically of how I started and my diurnal responsibility as a Surgical Technologist. Less than a month ago; on March 19, I ran my 3rd marathon. It is becoming a yearly affair for me and my wife to ran the Los Angeles Marathon that we always look forward for the next year. It started 3 years ago when my wife signed me up for my first marathon (she did her first the year prior) one month before the event.…
