First Doctor

Unless you’re a hypochondriac or someone who goes to the doctor on a regular basis, you probably don’t check your blood pressure often—if at all. There are plenty of wireless blood pressure monitors on the market that work fairly well. If you want to keep track of your daily vitals, however, you’re going to have to manually store them. Sending your results to your physician will also have to be a manual chore. Nowadays, the digital route seems to be the way to go for keeping track of steps,…

composed because of long infectious diseases. Edward Jenner developed vaccinations of that reason. Microbiology was making advances, a science that started with Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek (1632 - 1723), was first to observed microorganisms with a microscope.

another normal day, it was about three years ago. I had to go into the doctors again to get my yearly echocardiogram, the news I heard was not at all what I was looking for. The feeling of getting something you love taken away from you is the worst possible feeling. to help you through it you just need to use more than 2 legs. I was sitting on the crinkly paper that lays upon the weird bed, not expecting any new news. As the doctor walks in he says that the pictures have came in, then he says…

Celeste’s journey throughout the story is filled with selfless acts on the part of other characters that change Celeste’s perspective on life.

It was in 2nd grade when I first rushed to the hospital for an asthma attack. It was my first attack and at the time I do not think I had ever been so scared. Between being loaded into the ambulance, not knowing what was going on, and wondering if I was going to die this experience should have been one of the most traumatic experience of my life, however it was not. Once I got to the hospital they checked me into a room and a doctor came into the room and sat with me as we waited for my parents…

was and how both of them coped differently. The first question listed on the out-of-class assignment was asking how the couple tried to get pregnant; well, they spoke of several ways they tried over the years. Kelley took drugs that made several eggs at once drop; I was unable to receive the name of the drug. She also tried the test tube method, also called IVF, three times when she and Tom decided it would be best to try an egg donor!…

We had to go see a doctor in Tampa right next to the University of South Florida. My first visit they took blood and I had to pee in a cup to see exactly how bad my kidney disease was. I remember my doctor telling me exactly that if we did not catch my kidney disease this early something serious could have happened and I could have had to get surgery. The doctor also had to do a physical test to see what areas of my body was swollen and what…

As a soon to be mother I never knew what Postpartum depression was, until one day when I was writing my first research paper in college on the existing issue. It was like a light bulb went off in my head, and I thought to myself oh my gosh, maybe that's what I experienced in the first few months off my child’s life. Things were not easy and it was a like a dark cloud hovered over my life. I never got any sleep, even when I could sleep I didn’t. I was restless all the time and I began to be very…

How did I get my head cut open? It started on a beautiful afternoon. The sun was shining and the weather was hot. It was a good day to be going outside. At the time I was in my babysitter's apartment since that was where I went after school. The apartment was a small 3 room area with a glass table and couches. My friend was a really good friend of mine who I played with a lot. I used to live in Fox Run, the development I had moved from. I had told my sister that I wanted to go outside but she…

On September 23,2017 it has been a month since I had knee surgery. My doctor said he is even more pleased now than before. I have more strength in my leg now than before. I do try to push myself too far when it comes to my knee. I want to heal faster, and my therapist says the harder you push yourself the longer it’s going to take to get where you want to be. I want to heal faster because I want to be able to get back to my life and doing what I love. What I love is being able to run and play…
