First Doctor

change, but I didn’t care. “We want to name her Kamila.” my mom said. That is a beautiful name, I thought, Kamila Lucia Altamirano Kobayashi. A few minutes later, the lady in the blue uniform returned to the room with a man. The man said that he was a doctor and that he needed us to follow him to the conference room. What is going on? I thought. Do they always take people in there after an ultrasound? I wondered. The room was big and white. There was a long, oval table in the center with roller…

until the day I first laid eyes on him. To believe I created such an angelic, innocent face was the most surreal feeling in the world. A single day in my entire life became the most important one. That day will always be the most frightening, yet memorable day that I will ever experience. I can still feel the burn in my legs as my husband and I walked countless miles on a path around a soccer field at a park nearby the hospital I planned to deliver at. I had recently left my last doctor…

He turned the key in the lock and opened the door. To his horror, he saw his grandmother lying on the ground like a wood plank and felt a strong smell of gas trying to strangulate him. His first thought was to run fast to the window to open it and take his grandmother out of the house. He ran to the window and fell to the ground trying to open the window. The gas consumed all his forces and the struggle to open the window was like a fight with a grizzly bear. Before he fainted he yelled like a…

Throat “A lump in my throat” is a common phrase used amongst many to express their feelings of sadness, but I had a literal lump in my throat. Missing days upon days of school was a problem, but my mother took me to multiple doctors, hoping to discover what was wrong with me. One doctor discovered that I had mono, an illness common in teenagers. Others searched for things I could be allergic to, and even had me go on special diets. This time of my life was especially difficult, but it all turned…

what is in their own best interest. Thrasymachus views laws as the control that the stronger have over the weak. In his mind, as long as one makes decisions that are in their own best interest, the weak must do whatever the rulers say. Socrates’ first refutation of Thrasymachus’ of justice definition is, “…it’s just to do not only what is advantageous for the stronger but also the opposite: what is not advantageous.” Although Socrates agrees with Thrasymachus that rulers can indeed make…

landed directly on his right knee on the concrete road. The nurses asked Daniel for phone number to call his mother to let her know where he was. As the doctor entered the room, he proceeded to view the area and stated that a specialist will have to do surgery on the knee because the patella and ligaments had been fractured and torn. The doctor gave him medicine to make him unconscious during surgery. The patella bone is known as the knee cap. This bone helps us walk and keep our…

she spent over a month in a hospital due to burns after she tried to make herself hot dogs. The time that Jeannette spent in the hospital was like a vacation from her crazy life and parents. She relished the time in the hospital because it was the first time in her life that she was taken care of and had people that were actually concerned about her well-being. Even though Jeannette and I both suffered from injuries that required hospitalization, our experiences and mindset could not have been…

Making a change in the world for the health care provided to Jehovah’s Witnesses didn’t become so personal until recently. My cousin who is a Jehovah’s Witness as well passed away last month after being put on the waiting list for liver transplant. She got sick two weeks before, but really didn’t think anything of it until she started having sharp stomach pain and was having trouble walking. She and her husband went to the hospital that night, there they tried to give her a blood transfusion,…

On the day I was borned, the doctor held me wrong and my arm is now stuck as it is. At that time the doctor told them about my arm and my parents thought I should have surgery. Four weeks later, I had to start the surgery but as the surgery began and I was injected with aspirin to knock me out I started to have a rash and convulse. My parents had found out I was allergic to aspirin so the surgery was cancelled…

everyone expects every little thing to be handed to them, that if they have to work for it, it will be to hard and they need someone else to help. They think in there head, if some people is going to help me then why should effort be put in, in the first place. What needs to be happening that they need to work for it and get a reward, even if they don 't get a reward do it any way because it is the right thing to do. Failing doesn’t make a failure it makes a stronger person and ready for the…
