gown (because that's what we girls do, we buy a killer wedding dress that doesn't fit and employ all number of tricks and to ensure it fits). Waist trainers cinch the waist,contours the body and gives one that envious hourglass figure that every woman wishes for. As long as you have your trainer on, your body looks great and can be a good way to build up body confidence especially for a few hours. The Bad.…

I remember the first time I stepped foot into an operating room. I was not set back by the sound of the machines or the site of blood, but instead I fell in love. I was fascinated by the way the physician’s hands delicately removed the cataract and how they intricately placed a new lens, giving their patient sight. This is why I dream of becoming an ophthalmologist. While I have begun taking the steps needed in order to grasp an understanding of my potential career through job shadowing at the…

Patient-centered is one of the six aims for quality health care in the landmark report from the Institute of Medicine (2001). Patient-centered aims to improve clinical practice by building caring relationships that bridge the demographic, social, and economic difference between clinician and patients (Jakimowicz & Perry, 2015). Concept analysis explores the meaning of concept to promote understanding ( McEwen & Wills, 2014 p.55). Concepts are the elements or components of a phenomenon necessary…

A Woman’s Duty Women and the Civil War When the Civil War is mentioned, many people first think of the men who lost their lives in the fight for freedom and the preservation of the Union. What isn’t taken into account is the women who risked their lives for these very same causes. Not only did these women fight in the front line for their beliefs, but they were also behind the scenes; as nurses, spies, and even just staying at home to take care of their families and their homesteads. Without…

When it was exposed to Torvald that Nora had taken out a loan, he was livid and frustrated because it made him seem like less of a man. In the 19th and 20th century Victorian era it was taboo for a woman to handle money and work which Nora did. A Doll’s House demonstrates that the Victorian era gender roles created stress and tension in the lives of Torvald and Nora in that the expectation that the woman’s place in the home is purely domestic and the…

A Unique Look into the Controversy of Health Care One of the most controversial questions we face as a nation is whether or not health care is a basic human right or a privilege. I do not believe that health care is a basic human right. If you are a positively contributing member of society you should be provided with full access to health care. Members of society need to hold a job that pays taxes regularly. If you choose not to contribute to society by means of committing crime, not obtaining…

others”(LaBarge 1989). Women had hidden skills like music, drawings, and literature. Not all women were happy living at home and being sheltered. Women were supposed to be committed to the church religion (Women during the Middle Ages, 2012).

Women were supposed to study no matter what…

Washington at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital, and is centered around a female doctor named Meredith Grey as well as other staff and doctors working at the hospital. The series Grey’s Anatomy presents an incredibly sensationalized view of modern medicine. With that in mind, many of the issues that the doctors on the series deal with tend to be over the top for the sole purpose of entertainment value. That being said, these type of programs do sometimes depict realistic medical issues…

always had to listen to what men told them to do, they did not have the choice of what they wanted to do. Women were not only controlled by their husbands but by any male relative such as father and brother. Men had everything a woman had. When a man would marry a woman, he would get all her inheritance when women themselves could not even get a divorce…
