Brooks states that happiness is just one piece of “the human drama” and suffering is the other (Behrens). Brooks’ topic of…

surgeries to make my life as “normal” as possible. To manage my condition, it requires different techniques just to empty my bladder and prevent serious infections. For example, I’ve had to visit the nurse’s office every two hours to cath myself, as far back as kindergarten. Since birth, I’ve both worn diapers or pull-ups and dealt with constantly being teased. Despite cathing every two hours to prevent reflux into my kidneys, I’m still incontinent. I wore pull-ups till I was large enough to fit…

“The whole notion of pain, and how every individual experiences pain, is up for debate. We don 't know how another person experiences pain - physical pain or psychic pain. Some of these clinics where assisted suicide or euthanasia is practiced, they call it 'weariness of life. '” (Toews). For many years, those dubbed with the burden of cancer and other terminal illnesses have to suffer through a slow and painful death in the end.

It was hard to remember the dog Seeley had been before she became ill. A happy girl with curly, silver hair that relished each morning and delighted in each night. We knew she had been through quite a lot in her life, telling from the moon-like cataract clouding her left eye and the swollen nipples that hung lowly from her stomach. She enjoyed cuddling and seldom barked, but did often make weird scoffing noises when she was excited. She was our baby. It was hard to know what changed. One day…

Virginia Gay Hospital in Vinton, Iowa. I used Phillips equipment in CR form. The patient (67 years old) came in with right thumb pain saying she got it caught in something that Sunday. The order said she was having distal interphalangeal joint pain, and I confirmed with her that area was the most painful. Her hand was very bruised and swollen, but she wasn’t having as much pain as before, so she was able to do the positions well. Due to an odd malfunction with the reader at VGH, there is…
