Doctor Who

situation together. If I were Michael, I would prefer to know the situation, instead of my family trying to hide information. I would be mad at my family from trying to keep me away from the truth. If I know the truth, I would feel respected by the doctors…

everywhere I could. I saw an ambulance speeding away, and I was afraid she was inside the back so I ran to my truck. I was afraid that she was inside of the ambulance. I followed the ambulance to the hospital, and I couldn’t see who was on the stretcher. I asked the driver who was in the back and he said a young girl. I asked more about what she looked like and it was only sounding increasingly like Taylor. I was terrified that she was…

That sterile smell, the multiple doctor visits; the little white rooms, where I tried to not think about the worst thing that could be wrong with me. One of the white coats finally said something, but it wasn't good news; I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. My world had just turned upside down. I was 12 years old at the time. My parents and I didn't know anything about diabetes, so when I was told I had it, I had just assumed it was only temporary, that I will get better in a few days; I…

A life of “little bets” As I brainstormed to determine the feedback direction for Module 1, a single thought kept creeping in my head: “Wow, this was like when I did blank”. I have to admit, = my entire life has been a series of “Little Bets”, even prior to my birth. This may sound odd, but truly I have a life that is stranger than fiction;the following will entail how my life, Rebecca Anniversary Merry-Pruss has been a trail of “little bets”. I remember my mother telling me about her…

receptionist scheduling another appointment to discuss the results of the biopsy. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, the doctor’s office seems to be a dark place of wandering and wondering. The doctor now stands there with a concerned look on their face. They say, I am sorry to inform you that you have breast cancer. The doctor continues to discuss treatment plans, but nothing is being comprehended. When a woman is told that she has one of the leading diseases that women suffer from, a lot may run…

smell of sweat and sunscreen was in the air and it was a scorching hot day. So I decided to go in the water with my friends Callie and Emily. We splashed around in the lake and played all sorts of games with each other and with our other neighbors who were at the lake with us. One of my favorite games was chicken fights and I got to say Emily and I were pretty much the best team out there. Once we were tired of playing (and completely fried) we decided to go to the picnic table for lunch. After…

Gramma claims, stating that she is losing weight for her wedding and that she does not purge her food often, Gramma states, “They all said the same thing when they started dear. (...) You know what I would like to do? I would like to take you to a doctor. And we’ll talk it over and you can tell them” (Lines 98-103). When Gramma refers to Sissy as “dear,” she is confirming one of her own desired identities of being a supportive and loving parental figure in Sissy’s life. Through the use of this…

Growing up, everyone has some sort of obstacles. “If we choose to see the obstacles in our path as barriers, we stop trying… However, if we choose to see the obstacles as hurdles, we can leap over them” (Carson). My mom always told me “If at first you do not succeed, try and try again.” I never really understood that phrase when I was a little girl. I do however understand it now. A lot of people just quit when they face problems. I was the same way. Growing up I decided that it was impossible…

into the doctor's office next to my mama I could hear my heart pounding inside of my chest , my hands were sweaty and I had a queasy feeling in my stomach that I couldn’t rid of. Sitting in the chairs then I hear ,’’ Keya welch , ‘’ from who I guessing is the doctor. Walking down the cold long hallway she takes us into the one of the check up rooms and makes me put on the ugly hospital…

machines unknown to me of their purpose. I glared at the ceiling fan above me; watching the blades circle in motion, as time continued to pass. Before a bad stomach ache became stabbing pain and a deadly fever, I consulted with many puzzled pediatric doctors. They drew the diagnosis that my sickness was an infection by the “Mono” Virus. Mononucleosis, also called the “kissing disease”, is a common sickness in young adults spread through fluid in the oral cavity. Although the conclusion was…
