Cubicle

attributed to the fear of hospital bills or medical expenses. In other countries, healthcare is free to everyone. A similar concept to this existed in Egypt during the 1300s. Ibn Battuta, a Muslim traveler recounted treatment of the sick in Cairo, “Cubicles for patients were ranged round two courts, and at the sides of another quadrangle were wards, lecture rooms, library, baths, dispensary, and every necessary appliance of those days of surgical science. There was even music to cheer the…

can hear the audible click of the clock as the waiting room empties, and as the waiting room quiets, the halls swell with a steady orchestra of monitors, alarms, and chit chat. Myself, well, I could be found in no routine location, no designated cubicle, but rather on a WOW, a workplace on wheels. See, I was an emergency department physician scribe, for what may have been, the four most illuminating years of my life. And during these occasional moments of calm, it was part and parcel for me to…

"There were six to seven bears in concrete cubicles. Their fur was hanging off, they were begging for food, and an employee was tossing one bear cub around by the scruff of his neck." (Bob Barker). This what Bob Barker described what he witnessed, when he visited a roadside zoo in Cherokee, North Carolina.

It seems to be getting harder for teens to choose a lifetime career for themselves. Especially for someone like me, who is skilled in many subjects and has many interests.

Graphic design is a mixture of elements like creativity…

Two ideas are forced upon every single person. Taxes and death. Through the movie Stranger Than Fiction the audience follows Harold Crick, ironically an IRS auditor, who is forced to face his own fate. However, these are only the ideas posed on the screen. The underlying message stressed throughout this movie is the idea that time is precious and should not be taken for granted. A main idea that is presented throughout the entire movie is the idea of challenging oneself. This is evident when…

personal and an embarrassing moment at my workplace for the last two years I had an intimidating boss that really criticize my typing and I mean he criticize. He made me feel so small and dumb a lot of times. There were times when he would come to my cubicle very upset and he would tell me “You missed a period here” “You forgot to add a coma here”. When my yearly evaluation came around he gave me that I need improvement on my writing skills and punctuation skills. There were many times that I…

Every day I am in misery. All the little sounds, it’s like they follow me wherever I go. Constantly tormenting me and pushing me to my limit. I have tried to go to the doctor but he always tells me that it’s all in my head. That is what everyone tells me, but it’s not, it can’t be. This… condition cannot be all in my head. It must be that my hearing is more tuned in than everyone else. That is the only possible way that I can hear the door closing and opening next door. Why when my mother cracks…
