issues. When doctors decided that Lia should not be under her parent 's care, the doctor’s anticipations depend on what people often should do in case of sickness. People usually follow the recommendations from their doctors and keep taking medication until they end up being healthy. Otherwise, people who do not feel comfortable with the treatment plan, they would simply discuss that with their doctors. But, if they have any miscommunication, what should they do? I feel that doctors should know…

“While they were drinking their coffee Prudencia Cotes came into the kitchen in full adolescent bloom, with a roll of old newspapers to revive the fire in the stove. “I knew what they were up to,” she told me, “and I didn’t only agree, I never would have married him if he hadn’t done what a man should do.” Before leaving the kitchen, Pablo Vicario took two sections of newspaper from her and gave one to his brother to wrap the knives in.” (García Márquez, p.63). With the above quote being a point…
On March 8th about 10:00 at night, my mom's water broke. She woke up my dad and they ran to the hospital. On her way, she called my grandma so she could let everyone no.

After my fourth weekend in a row of placing last at my motocross races, I was ready to hang it all up. I thought to myself, “Why bother? Why put myself through this frustration every weekend? Why waste my parents’ time and money when all I do is lose?” Throughout the season, I had allowed myself to become more focused on winning than having fun, which is why I began racing in the first place. It was at this breaking point that I realized it isn’t about winning. It’s about how you react to the…
straight to the ER. There we waited, and waited, and waited. It felt like forever until we actually got to see a doctor. They examined me. Took x-rays. My temperature. My blood-pressure. Nothing was wrong. Except for the pain. No broken bones. No fever. Normal blood-pressure. They gave me morphine of course to help with the pain, the excruciating pain. That didn’t help much. The doctors were inept at finding what was wrong. So, we went home, with a brace…
Broadcast in 1985 by Tina Rathborne, “A Joy that Kills” is the movie adaptation of “Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin. Both book and film are set in the 19th century and center on the protagonist Louis Mallard.

had to tear it out. This traumatic experience is the first memory I have. When they tore the helix device out it made the hole bigger. So they went in again and it was not as big as the hole so there was still some of the hole not covered. The doctor said, “There still are some small holes but they should be fine. I want you to come back every three years for a checkup on your heart.” But right after my surgery was very traumatic. It was some time in the middle of the night…
The extreme traits of Mrs. Van Daan. “I can’t stand it! I’ll kill myself! I’ll kill myself, “ she screams just as the play is about to end. At the beginning of the play, Mrs. Van Daan seems like a reasonable and thankful character, but her true colors and flirtatious behavior starts showing very quickly. Along with her love for material objects over actual human connection, with the usual wild fits of extreme hysterica. It’s quite obvious that she is not coping well with her attic life by the…
