Because there is only 1.5 laparoscopes per trained team, the laparoscope is a very valued, but at the same time scarce commodity. The same laparoscope is often re-used in an effort to perform as many sterilizations as possible while there is still adequate light, water, or surgical team presence, and therefore proper instrument sterilization and cleaning procedures are often not followed. Even though there is no known data linking this kind of procedure to an increase in infections or…

This time frame to update technology allows enough time for the updates to be made effectively and the new machines to be produced. The administrative offices are shabby, disorganized, and run inefficiently. Improving technology here will increase efficiency and effectiveness as…

“Hills like White Elephants,” by Ernest Hemmingway and, “The Story of an Hour,” by Kate Chopin are both short stories that take place in short periods of time and focus on the relationship of a couple. Though the stories differ greatly, they are similar in that they both include the use of a train as a symbol and in their focus of the women in the relationships introduced.

We were barely able to keep up with the harsh pace of his illness and still struggle with his passing.

Life is not a program we can schedule for. We cannot will away events once they have…

Thus, if the physical is not what defines personal identity because of its variance through time is inconsistent with personal identity, it would be mayhap be possible to attribute personal identity to an immaterial soul, one that is consistent through time. But Locke would not concur, and not due to the incompatibility of the soul with personal…
