Eleventh Doctor

Will she be ok? What hospital are you a-" The doctor interupted her, a twinge of annoyence lacing his voice. "Ma'am please, calm down. I can tell you more details if you are here in person, ok?" Shea nodded, forgetting that movements can't be read through a phone call. The doctor gave her the location of the hospital, and after Shea thanked him she ordered a Lyft and had the driver take her to the hospital. As…

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. She stops me right there. “Caffeine. Your headaches are caused by caffeine.” I was prescribed my first medicine and put on my first diet. Cutting out caffeine only worked for a little while. I then went to my next doctor who prescribed me with a nasal spray I had to…

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. I could only imagine what kind of pain he went through sitting at the bottom of the Seven Gables waiting for help while his friend went to find it. This accident didn’t stop him from doing what he loves to do. Even after the rock…

weren’t for doctors, hospitals, and everything else I wouldn’t be here. When I was born I had a heart murmur. I had to go through lots of tests to see if my heart could work by itself. Eventually the hole closed and I was completely fine afterwards but if it weren’t for medical help it would have probably been different. About two years ago I broke my arm while playing soccer. I tore a ligament and a muscle tendon. To this day it still hasn’t healed and hurts just about everyday. My doctor said…

after being sick for months, my father brought me to the doctor to see what was going wrong with me. After being examined by the doctor, she told me I had strep throat and my neck was swollen because of it. She told me that if the swelling in my neck didn't go down in a few months I was to make another appointment to see her. Months went by and the swelling did not go down. My neck seemed to have a hard lump in it. I went back to the doctor and she ordered that I was to get a sonogram of the…

When I played soccer at Chemeketa, I sustained a significant injury to my foot in soccer. It was my freshmen year of college when I developed two stress fractures in my right foot. I was placed in a boot for a week. It was very hard for me to sit out and not be with my team. After determining the fractures wouldn’t get worse I was able to do limited practice and play in the games. It was very tough to deal with my teammates who didn’t think I should be playing in games because I wasn’t…

Bella's Dream provides products for our little Angels made out of cotton and silk. I am a proud aunt of a baby boy named Edson. When he was born I swore to protect him and take care of him but I never expected to be part of a crowd that struggles with skin allergies. In our family we never had problem with Eczema and so this was a new unpleasent wake up call. The first few months it was hard for my sister and our family, he was diagnosed with an aggressive Dermatitis (Eczema) that affects him…

were born about six weeks premature. After my the birth the doctors delivered devastating news to my parents. They announced that I their youngest daughter had an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD). This meant that there is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of your heart (atria). The doctors were sure that the only way to fix this was open heart surgery. Nonetheless, my father and mother…

Our conversation was interrupted several times by locals who approached me to introduce themselves. Most of them were big, burly and sported jeans and a wife beater. Despite what they wore, they were polite, even courtly, as they sidled up to my bar stool to chat, or, in the case of Jac, just flirt shamelessly. Jaq was a self-proclaimed bachelor. “Gigantic fudge pooping llama alien!” I heard Woody yell from the kitchen. I blinked. Red laughed and rolled her eyes. "That’s my husband, ever the…
