situation. The doctor rushed in and checked my cervix. “That is the cord. Not the baby” A feeling of pure panic filled the room. I knew it was a cord prolapse. She tried to push the umbilical cord back up into me, but the baby’s heart rate dropped again. She looked at my husband and yelled “Ryan, push that red button on the wall now!” I knew what was about to happen, but I was convinced my husband had no idea the course of action that was about to take place. About 30 doctors and nurses…

CODE BLUE in room 6710! All doctors report to room 6710. Watching my mother go into cardiac arrest while my family and I were told to wait outside. Walking backwards so I could see everything that was going on the hospital curtain was being pulled closed blocking my view. Waiting nervously, I remember hearing the doctors speaking in a high pitched panicked voice ordering the nurse to get the defibrillator ready. Next came the sounds of beeping, over and over the doctor saying CLEAR! Ordering the…

There have been many injuries that I have had to overcome.I dislocated my shoulder, then I tore my A.C.L,and then I broke my leg. My injuries have caused me to work through setbacks. They also taught me that every year is a new year and to learn from my mistakes. The last thing they taught me is to make the best out of every situation. My very first injury happened the week of my birthday. I was playing a basketball game and went for a jump ball. When I was on the ground fighting for the ball…

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…

My legs were shaking, as I took deep breaths and I clenched my fist and sweat slowly dripped down my face. It was morning practice and the sun was starting to creep over the horizon. The quarterback yelled “hike”, as I snapped back into reality. I began running in the direction of the players in maroon jerseys, looking for one of them to block. I quickly turned, and within seconds I found myself on the ground with no explanation on how I got there. A coach quickly yelled “get up”, I…

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…

Emily and Callie then grabbed a blanket and held it up so I couldn't see what was about to go down. The doctor grabbed my foot and stuck the numbing needle right into the wound. He wasn't kidding, that thing hurt like no other. I screamed bloody mercy, the people outside our room probably thought I was dying. You would have thought that they would wait for…

Ad Magic is willing to spend an excessive amount of money on making sure the horse is taken care of because it makes him feel like there is a meaning to his life. The doctor believes it would be best if the horse was euthanized but Ad Magic wants to save it. The doctor explains to Ad Magic how humans and animals feel pain in different ways. Humans typically feel pain through things that they remember while animals feel pain without memory. Ad Magic, like animals, lacks…

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…

become the doctor and earn the “big bucks”. Money was always everything to me. So this past summer when I had the opportunity to take my Nurse’s Aide Certification I jumped on the bandwagon because it meant a step up from a dietary aide. I started the class thinking that this was just a minor job and I wasn’t going to be doing much with the residents. Boy was I wrong! I had…
