interest in pursuing a career as a nurse. With the help of my ISM or Independent Study Mentorship teacher, the possibility of interning in the medical field became possible. Although Darren is a Physician Assistant, nursing and physician assistants coincide with each other, therefore, interning with a physician assistant will assist and expand my knowledge in the future. However, as much as benefits are the main factor of interning at the hospital, many challenges occurred throughout the…

like to meet with them in person. Upon arriving at the office the doctor says “I am sorry, but the results indicate terminal cancer.” Once the shock, and paralyzing fear subsides, what resources are there?

This should be one among the many…

Physician-Assisted Suicide Introduction Assisted suicide has been a debated topic for many decades now. Oregon was the first state in the union to allow for a physician to write a lethal prescription to end a terminally ill patients life (Volker, 2007). Since that time four other states have followed suite with similar or their own versions of legislation that allows for this type of act.

completely honest the career I had in mind at the beginning of the year was not exactly an emergency physician, it was actually a nuclear and radiological engineer. While yes engineering more closely matches my personality type and newly sparked interest, the title of emergency physician still very much intrigued me.

personality, a long list of medical professions came up, many of which I had never heard of before. At the top of the list stood the occupation of being a sports medicine physician, and I instantly knew that this job was meant for me. Upon researching sports medicine further, my mother gave me the contact information of the sports physician who performed the sports evaluations at Campolindo and…

The purpose of this ethics debate paper is to present my argument in favor of physician aid in dying. As far as most of us are concerned both medical professionals and non-medical professional alike, death seems like a menace, like something that we are afraid of and want to steer clear from, although most people know of at least one person whom dying has come as a relief. Death such as these are sometimes anticipated, sought out actively, prepared for in secret and also endured all alone. For…

Physician Assisted Suicide When you hear the words physician assisted suicide, it may sound a little confusing. Physicians are supposed to keep you alive as long as the possibly can, right?

Which basically means that a doctor gives you medicine upon your request that will kill…

Physician assisted suicides are perceived as inhumane by the perception of some; however, these tactics are wanted by the governing body of the terminally ill and sufferers of intense pain. Patients receiving terminal care are typically uncomfortable and very fatigued. There isn’t, for the most part, a break in agony. Physician assisted suicide should be legalized because it gives terminally ill patients a chance to say their goodbyes and pass with dignity, protects both doctors and dying…
