Doctor

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…

weight and height we went back to the room. When the doctor came in he gave me shots. Because the nails were rusty nails so when they were done they left the room again. So we were watching TV when we were waiting for the doctor to come back in. When they come back in they take me to go get X-ray’s. When we were done with X-ray they said I had no broken bone and that was a good thing. So we are watching TV to pass by time so they finally. The doctor comes in and say’s that I only need stitches…

of X-rays and 2 MRI’s the doctors started to notice that something was not right about my brain. After looking over all the xrays and mris they figured out that my brain was too big for my skull. This would have to be fixed with brain surgery and this specific thing is called chiari malformation surgery. Hearing that you will have to be going through such an intense surgery at age 13 was definitely a moment in my life I wont be able to forget. I still remember the doctors telling me that we…

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…

show up” “It’s probably just the blood rushing towards your wrist” she said. Then she asked me to do a few hand motions and say if it hurts. Each test I took hurt more than the last one. After that she said I would highly recommend going to see a doctor to get an x-ray. After that coach came up to me and said “Will you be able to play the rest of the game?”. “I don’t think I can coach.” I said. Then he passed me a ball and said “here catch” before I even had a chance to think. I shot out the…

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…

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…

My dad told me that I would hopefully be playing, I was so happy and excited that i was actually going to get to play again even though the doctor had told me it was a good idea if i no longer participated in sports, but then my mom looked at him in disbelief because she wasn’t sure I was going to be able to. They had a conversation all the way home about it. I was able to play in the…

position, as it very much is, but often doctors unintentionally view patients as a medical chart with numbers and information, rather than a person with a family. Nurses spend the most amount of time with their patients; thus, they learn what makes a patient laugh or cry, and they understand their patients’ comfort levels so they work in a way to form relationships with each and every one they care for. Nurses save patients’ lives just as often as doctors. In order to save lives, nurses must be…
