The doctor, smiled at me, in a silent understanding. “Yes, you may Doctor?” I gurgled in between the sobbing and anger. Doctor smiled again. “Doctor Brad Fang.” I smiled and my mind wandered off to many jokes. I smiled a fake smile at him. “Okay, this is going to make you gage a little when we pull out the…

parents, me, countless number of nurses, and the doctor. We discussed every little inch of my life; my diet, my sleeping patterns, my feelings throughout the day, the whole nine. “I drink a lot of root beer and soda,” I tell her.

someone who is suffering or incapable of living their life can cause misery or resorting to other (dangerous) methods of death. Patients who fall within euthanasia criteria should be able to take comfort in knowing the choice is theirs.

The doctors order intravenous fluids to bring up his dangerously low blood pressure. They do not examine him.” Lisa Sanders told this story in her novel, Every Patient Tells a Story. She uses stories about patients that she has had and stories that other doctors have shared with her. And every story has a point she tries to prove. In the small bit I had just told you about, the…

roles played in the medical field are nurses and doctors. A nurse and a doctor work hand-in-hand with one another. They both require an intelligent person to hold the job title and make smart decisions based on the condition of the patient or issue that occurs at the hospital.

The last minute of her exam, she had asked about her weight gain and the doctor just brushed it off and told her she needed to exercise more, but Bruckner felt as if that wasn’t the cause because she has been exercising regularly and eating healthy. Later, she found that she had asked a “doorknob complaint”, which is a possible medical concern that was mentioned last minute. Bruckner was…

Obstacles We Face On Thursday, November 12 I attended the speaker Mark Wellman who made the impossible, possible. An accident while climbing the Seven Gables in the John Muir Wilderness in 1982 left him paralyzed from the waist down. His story left me speechless.
