Doctor of Medicine

We had to go see a doctor in Tampa right next to the University of South Florida. My first visit they took blood and I had to pee in a cup to see exactly how bad my kidney disease was. I remember my doctor telling me exactly that if we did not catch my kidney disease this early something serious could have happened and I could have had to get surgery. The doctor also had to do a physical test to see what areas of my body was swollen and what…

dentistry?” I could not really piece together a good answer. To prepare for medical school, I began volunteering at Sparrow Hospital during my first year of college. Watching the doctors hand out prescription after prescription, I began to miss the idea of actively treating patients. Although I enjoyed the exposure to medicine and its therapeutic applications, I could not help but feel disconnected. At the end of the day, I realized that I missed the routine patient base I saw at the dental…

affect me from not trying out this year. Even though I was thinking about it, because I was scared to play on this old person’s knee. I knew what I had to do and nothing or no one was going to stop me to get there. When I grow up, I’m going to be a doctor, specifically a pediatrician. I never understood why people said, “When I grow up I want to be”. If you want to be then you will be. I know that I will have to communicate and come out of this comfort zone. With me having the experience of a…

Go to school, get a job, succeed: the three goals of the modern American. However, without the first two goals, success does not appear to be a realistic option. America used to be the land of opportunity, but it is no longer the case - so economists say. People from low class, out of country, or disadvantaged families could come to the United States and succeed enough to create a better life. Yet, the 21st century has proved different. Upward mobility is a far reach for many, families tend to…

still your mother and you will not talk to me any type of way. As for you Earl, I want a divorce. I can't stand to be married to a criminal.” At that time I knew those flashbacks were real. At that time I knew why I felt a strange feeling towards the doctor. I felt disgusted in myself. I had a terrible childhood growing up, which made me filled with hate. I couldn't stand to see others do good or grow. My mother was married several times and her husbands were not so pleasant. I was brutally…

critical between the patient and physician. Now in our society communication requires much more from the physician. doctor 's requests to the patient to follow such and such a treatment. These days correspondence obliges a great deal a greater…

feels. During the hospital stay there should be a survey to discover if she is feeling any of the symptoms associated with ppd. Another approach that could be taken is providing the surveys their doctors or even the child’s doctor. One thing all mothers have in common is taking their child to the doctor, and checking them in. Surveys should be a part of checking in and this not only benefits the mother's health but the child’s. One reason why ppd does underdiagnosed is because there are no…

I was really beginning to fret about my back. We got the x- rays and a few days later we got the results. Nothing appeared to be wrong. Just a little area that may have looked off. The doctor assumed it was hurting me because of growing, but she still recommended three to four weeks off of gymnastics and softball. I was really nervous for this long break. Would I be afraid of the skills I had once mastered? Would I fall behind in conditioning…

couldn't stop thinking of what the doctors could find. Suddenly, the my phone goes off ringing and buzzing. It’s my boyfriend, Kyle. Summarizing the long paragraph filled with curiosity, he was wondering how was doing and if there was anything he could do. Kyle was the first person I had ever told about the pain. He had been with me ever since the beginning of the incident. The door opens slowly, with my heart skipping a beat in suspense. It was the doctor. He walks in with curiosity…

Having a child is one of the happiest moments of many people’s lives, getting to encounter this first hand is a very great experience. It was the second week of school and my fiance, Abby and I had been waiting on our son to be born for about eight and a half months. Because Abby still lived in Minot and I live on campus in Bismarck I wanted to know way before hand if she was going to the hospital. During my afternoon class I got a call and because we are not supposed to use our phones in class…
