I was a little bit annoyed, but I continued to calm myself down. I told them to be prepared for the soccer game, the game will be starting soon.
Our team was getting 1:0 with 10 minutes left. To make matters worse, I was tackled deliberately from the opponent player. But I did not say anything to them, I just thought that this could happen when I played a soccer game. However, my team members were different from me. They started swearing to the opponent, I did not expect this situation. On the contrary, I started to stop them. Finally, the game was over with 1:0. I told my team members that you guys did your best. We headed to the classroom with a frustrated heart. While I was preparing for the next class, one of my friends came to me and said that you are a patient person. I did not know I was a patient person, but after I heard what my friend said to me.

I am employed in the healthcare field as an anesthesia technician and it is very demanding and stressful position Having to deal with doctors, nurses, and relatives taught me a valuable lesson in staying composed, immune from the verbal abuses from some patient’ s relatives and constant orders from physicians whose patience is lacking.

    John Siegel Experience

    I relate best to the short excerpt from Dr. John Siegel. He describes how the discussion at a meeting among colleagues at a hospital began to digress as the subject was changed from the main focus of the meeting (educational experience for patients) to side issues such as frustration with the medical system. By reminding his superiors of their primary goal (to provide excellent medical care to their patients) he inadvertently prompted them to consider the common values that they share which led them to their chosen profession. This got the meeting back on track and the committee was able to successfully restructure their education plan.…

    The first step when it comes to dealing with any angry patient is to remain calm. It is important to speak calmly, and tell the patient you are sorry about the misunderstanding. When the patient sees you are remaining calm, they are more likely to also calm down themselves. As a medical assistant, I will already have access to the daily appointments.…

    Patient is a word that most people define as being good at waiting for things or suppressing annoyances. Google's definition is being able to accept or tolerate delays, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. To me, this word goes so much deeper than tolerating annoyances. It defines parts of me. My definition of patient is the ability to forgive and understand while being calm and gentle.…

    I feel extremely fortunate and lucky that I have had relatively little personal experience in the healthcare field. Most of my family, outside of grandparents that were in their 80s, has also been relatively healthy. I have not had cancer, broken a bone, gotten into an accident, or some other problem to bring me into a hospital, which would make it easy to say that I do not have a “illness narrative,” but the more I thought about this topic the more I realized how integral healthcare has been to me. While I have not had serious illnesses or treatments, I have had regular check-ups, gone to the doctor when I had a small problem, and been to specialists for my eyes and skin. Preventative medicine has been integral to my upbringing and culture, which could very well be the reason I have not had any serious illness in the past.…

I was 10 years old, playing in my third season of football, and my first ever game under the bright lights surrounding the high school stadium. The time had finally come, the lights had been on and warming up for several minutes, I was going to play a game under the lights on the high school field. My experiences that night were not forgotten, but today I couldn’t even tell you if we won the game that night. The lessons I learned that night weren’t about winning and losing, I had done plenty of that already in my life.…

    My experience in the emergency department at Legacy Salmon Creek during my paramedic education gave me insight to the patients I hope to eventually serve. During this experience, I got the opportunity to help patients suffering from life-threatening illnesses. However, the majority of the patients I worked with did not have emergent conditions. I realized that many patients visited the emergency department because they did not have access to affordable health insurance for preventative care. Emergency visits are expensive and the wait time could be detrimental to patients.…
