Cardiac surgery

Personal Health Narrative I honestly was so excited for it to be my eighth grade year. The Savannah trip, semi-formal, and moving on to high school in just one year. Eighth grade is that awkward time where boys are a big deal and girls are still trying to learn how to do their makeup correctly. I knew that this year was a big deal to me. I wanted nothing at all to get in my way. I just wanted this year to run as smoothly as possible. I knew I had a date to semi-formal.This was the biggest drama…

argue that it is a necessary procedure to provide cats a better chance at being adopted and retained in their new homes. The surgery is practiced in order to stop scratching behavior like destroying furniture. However, a majority of those adopted cats that go through this procedure end up being readmitted to the shelters due to other behavioral problems that arise after surgery. These issues arise as a result of a combination of long-term and short-term pain that occurs once they are declawed.…

Technician taught me many things. From how to draw shots to how to take x-rays. One of the most common lessons I learned was how to spay a female canine. Although the Veterinarian is the only one allowed to be “hands-in” during surgery, I learned a lot from watching the procedure. Surgery preparations begin the day before. The patient in question is dropped off and spends the night. Vet Techs are busy cleaning and “cooking” surgical tools and cutting drapes. Also, Techs are to make sure all…

tests every two weeks. His thinking became even more confused. At first, he thought it was due to his reduced P.T.S.D., medicines. Then a blood test showed his Vitamin B12 levels were in the basement. It was another side effect of Gastric By-pass surgery. It caused him difficulty in walking, pain in the calves of his legs, confusion, and forgetfulness. They started him on B12 shots, but it would take some time to bring about the required…

have had the privilege to assist vet technicians and doctors during examinations and laboratory and surgical procedures, and also assist in administering medications and vaccines. I have observed numerous surgeries, from routine spay and neuters to more complicated surgeries such as an ACL surgery and five-pound mass removal from a dog. I have also assisted in many emergencies such as a cat being poisoned by pesticide and a dog that was hit by a car. Additionally, I have observed the doctor…

Anesthesia to some, is the most significant milestone for the health care industry. Surgery is now performed painless and without memory of the event (in most cases) under the supervision of an anesthesiologist or anesthetist and in some cases a qualified non-anesthesiologist for dosing and monitoring throughout surgery. 2. Evaluate the importance of financing and technology in health care. Provide examples to support your response. A science once left…

Is Robotic Surgery Safe? Robotic surgery was introduced some twenty years ago and completely revolutionized the way we perform minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. This was a huge improvement over the open surgery which had previously been done because it does not require large, painful, slow-healing incisions (Keith Kirkpatrick 1). However, these primitive robotic surgical systems were very challenging to use and there were very few applications which they could actually be used…

I am researching neurosurgery and everything that it takes to become a neurosurgeon. . It takes extreme amounts of hard work and dedication to become a neurosurgeon. Many hours will be spent studying to complete a degree in this medical field. Competition is tough to get into medical school these days. I am interested in researching neurosurgery because I am fascinated by the brain. It is truly incredible how the brain functions and controls everything that goes on in your body. There is still…

small. Nobody wants to get injured, unless you hate the sport, but it’s guaranteed that a few weeks can be missed through an athletic career due to injuries. However, there is always one injury that athletes fear more than any other, and that is surgery to fix any torn ligaments in your knee. My freshman year of high school, I was the unlucky soul that suffered a torn ACL and Meniscus in my left knee. To this day I’m still not sure how it really happened, but it has definitely impacted my life.…

program at Rich Mountain Community College in 2015. Having gone through the nursing clinicals, I found that nurses play a big role in all departments of the hospital including surgery, rehab, and labor and delivery. One of the departments where nurses play a big role is surgery. Yes, surgeons are the ones that actually do the surgery, but they are not the only people in the room. As stated by FORTIS College, there are three main positions for surgical nurses: scrub…
