Set only a few years from the present, my story portrays a…

The Courtship of Mr. Lyon and The Bloody Chamber are both based on fairy tales written by Angela Carter. Both of these stories are thought to be inspired by author Charles Perrault’s writings Beauty and the Beast and also Bluebeard. Both fairy tales have similar plots, the usual “good feeling” plots, where a girl is on a mission to find her true love and encounters many men not fit for her along the way and also other trials and tribulations to eventually get to that one knight in shining armor…

They would just do the procedures and hope that it was successful. In one of the scenes, Dr. Ansell needed to remove a patient’s toenail, so the pus bulged under the toenail can be drained. However, Dr. Ansell never removed toenail. He followed the instructions in the book and successfully removed the toenail and drained the pus (Ansell, 2001, p. 83). Even though he successfully treated the patient, I thought it was unethical because the hospital did not provide experienced physicians…

In a healthy individual, the bloodstream remains sterile – free of any pathogens. The immune system, which is responsible for defending the body against pathogens, is a very complex and vital body system. The immune system involves both innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity functions as the “first responder” system of the body. The skin, the mucous membranes are the first line of defense in innate immunity. The skin and mucous membranes serve to prevent microbes from…

The first signs of this deadly disease were swellings or lumps in the groin, underarms, or neck. These swellings were called buboes, which were swollen, darkened, and painful lymph nodes. A bubo could become as large as an egg or apple, and blood and pus would often seep out of them. Following the buboes, livid black spots showed up on the body, usually on the arms and thighs first. Other symptoms include feeling sick, high fever, chills, headaches, delirium, helplessness, bumps under the skin,…

According to the Centers for Disease Control, 98.3% of the population of children entering kindergarten in America are vaccinated (CDC.gov, 2015). On the other hand, individual state exemption levels are anywhere from .1 percent in Mississippi all the way up to 6.5 percent in Idaho.

Having mandatory vaccinations for children entering school will help to…
