Scalpel

Kelcie Freeman Mrs. Abrams English I 15 November 2016 Being a Surgeon Have you ever been under a surgeon’s scalpel? If so, you were informed of all the risks before undergoing that surgery. Your life was in their hands and you gave them all your trust. Surgeons definitely have stressful lives and sometimes have to do their job efficiently on only 4 hours of sleep. Although it is a difficult job to have, most will say that after saving a life it’s all worth it. Today, surgeons have high…

This is the second line of defense which is still non-specific (Lee & Bishop, 2002). This means that this response occurs whatever causes the injury—even a sterile instrument like a sterile scalpel blade. Chemical mediators are released from mast cells, basophils, the damages cells and the invading microbes themselves to induce vascular changes in the area of injury (McKinley et al., 2013). For example, vasodilation is facilitated by histamine…

during my Honor Biology labs. The smell of formaldehyde didn't hold me back, to dissect a preserved frog to learn about frog's internal organs. As the human and frog have similarity in their organs' layout. I nailed arms and legs wide open and my scalpel made an incision along the midline of a frog's body from pectoral gland to the pelvis. The entire cavity, filled with organs, showed up. I was amazed to see internal organs with my naked eyes. The next dissections were a cow eyeball, to observe…

“I’ve got it! There’s something in human flesh.” Vincent rolled his eyes. “There’s lots of things in human flesh. Protein, fat molecules....” Steven kept on like he hadn’t heard the sarcasm in Vincent's voice. “That’s not all.” “Enlighten me then.” The amber liquid splashed against the vial in Stevens hand competing for attention with the broad smile on his face. “It’s us,” he said. “We are the cure.” “What are you talking about man? Spit it out already.” The 20-hour shifts were getting…

My mom, being a Neonatal Nurse, I have witnessed the joy that a new life brings as well as the sorrow a death brings. Abortion was legalized in 1973 by the Supreme Court in case Roe vs. Wade. The law was legalized in order to sustain a woman’s so called ‘fundamental right’ contending that the choosing of abortion should not be limited by governmental or religious authority. With that being said, An unborn baby 's’ heart starts beating at approximately 20 days, the brain also starts sending brain…

At that time I was simply amazed by an idea about ‘How a radiologist can see through the patient’s body without picking up a scalpel? And how he/she comments on minute details?’. It seems he/she is surpassing the surgeon’s role here. I enjoyed radiology rotation during my Internship and decided to pursue my medical career in Diagnostic Radiology and consequently completed my Radiology…

For instance, “the something pretty” started out as David “dangling his watch over the crib” (Bradbury 6). At the end of the story, “the something pretty” stands as a scalpel in the hands of the doctor. Another example of repetition is the trepidation feeling towards the baby. At the beginning, the mother right away knew something must be off with the baby. She felt no motherly feeling towards him. The father loved…

The maze procedure is conducted during an open-heart surgery. Using a scalpel, doctors create several precise incision in the upper chambers of the heart to create a pattern of scar tissue. Because scar tissue does not carry electricity, it interferes with stray electrical impulses that cause atrial fibrillation. Radiofrequency…

scratching becomes a problem some owners chose to declaw their cats. Declawing, or onychectomy,is the surgical amputation of the cat’s third phalanges, toe bones, and the claws. (Leaders, 2009) Declawing is performed by using a sterilized nail trimmers, scalpel blades, or surgical lasers. (Leaders, 2009) Declawing should not be allowed, it has major welfare concerns and it hurts the cat more than it helps them. The majority of the reasons declaw is more for the owner’s benefit then for the…
