Reflection: Critical Incident During my fourth semester medical/surgical clinical rotation I had the opportunity to be placed on a cardiac floor. This patient population was admitted from the ICU (intensive care unit) and more critical than I was used to.

In his poem, Auden refers to both mythology and the bible to convey the suffering of man and humankind, exemplified through the tale of Icarus. Though Auden succinctly addresses the suffering of humankind, Auden most notably highlights the fallen nature of bystanders to said suffering. In his poem, Auden uses both rhetoric and…
that time. The invention of concrete opened new doors architecturally for the Romans. It allowed them to build in irregular shapes and replaced rubble as wall filler in their buildings. The use of concrete made it possible for the Romans to construct permanent structures on a much larger scale than they were previously able to. When used as a wall filler it enabled them to use irregular shaped stones for the face of the wall with brick ends to hold it all together. This new building…
zone of the cornea, the front surface of the eye. During further observation it is found that the normal eye pressure causes the round shape of the cornea to distort and an irregular cone-like bulge develops which results in significant visual impairment. The quality of vision seems poor which also occurs primarily from irregular astigmatism and distortion that results in the image focusing at multiple points instead of a single point focus. It is also observed that the image is ghosted, flared…
