First Doctor

brother and I went to the park after a long morning of work. We started playing tag. Instead of tagging me, he pushed me. I dropped on a metal bench, then the ground. He questioned if I was alright, I replied, ¨I’m okay.¨ My arm felt fairly weird at first. I thought it was just dislocated. I swung it around a couple times thinking it would go away. When I went to grab something, Crack. Not only did I hear it, but everyone else at the park did too. I cried out in pain and started crying.…

coronary artery is reopened. In the ICU, his blood pressure begins to drop; he complains of feeling cold and nauseated. The doctors order intravenous fluids to bring up his dangerously low blood pressure. They do not examine him.” Lisa Sanders told this story in her novel, Every Patient Tells a Story. She uses stories about patients that she has had and stories that other doctors have shared with her. And every story has a point she tries to prove. In the small bit I had just told you about, the…

Opening Doctor Brackett’s office, Joanne and Roy were taken back to see not only Joe, but also Davis Cook, Scarlett Palmer, and Karl Druthers. Dreading bad news, they glanced at one another and saw the same fear emanating from the other’s eyes. Sitting down, each braced themselves for the news. “I know you weren’t expecting all of us,” Doctor Early apologized. “It’s just that all of us thought it might be best to get together and update the treatment plan for Johnny as it were.” “So, things are…

This was the first time anyone in the room had heard that the doctor actually found something. “What did you find?” Logan asked. The truth was, he wasn’t sure. Bond took his cell phone out of his pocket and said to no one in particular, “Anyone know how to read French? It’s in my cell phone.” Jenny replied, “No, but Google does. Hand me your phone.” The doctor scrolled up to the picture he took that night in the museum. “Here you go little lady, take your best shot.” “What did you find…

across the street. This was not our first time at Dewmont Lake, you could call us regulars. So we knew just the right places to go. One of our favorite spots was the creek. We did not only catch frogs and all sorts of creatures there but we also had jumping contests. We called it a creek but it was more like a small stream with lots of algae.…

Patch a. This dream kind of had two parts to it. The first part I was out walking around Greeley at night with friends on apparently what was Halloween. People were jumping out trying to scare us left and right. All of the roads were abandoned of cars, but people had set up these elaborate Halloween scenes to scare us. On our way to running back home, it became light outside and we ended up stopping at a doctor’s office. Here this male doctor was being persistent that he listens to my…

Lung Cancer by : Charlotte Kershner It all happened when I went to the hospital that warm nice evening. I was getting ready to go to the hospital, then I got a call from the doctor, he said “Hi Sammy this is your doctor I need you to come to the hospital earlier” Then I wandered with curious “ok no problem I will come over now”. I go to the hospital, he pulled me back to the back room just like any other check up. He said in this weird tone I never heard before “ Sammy I need to tell you…

a lunch because on both days I was there I left at 11:00 A.M. Because I have wanted to help animals since I was little I wanted to job shadow a veterinarian. While I was on my job shadow I got to experience many procedures, and assist the doctors. When I first got there on Saturday October 15th, I identified a roundworm in a fecal sample through a microscope. Then, I counted different types of pills, and put them in the pill bottles to be given to the patient. Next, I watched Dr. Smith do an…

to be so astronomically priced. A doctor who comes into your room for 15 minutes practically gets money thrown into his pockets, but for what? For telling you that you have to take some Tylenol and take a nap? Why does a test that takes 5 minutes cost 500 dollars? The United States Healthcare system needs to put together care at a more affordable cost or we all might as well pray for death sooner than later. Healthcare, including testing, medications, and doctor visits need to become priced…
