Second Doctor

will be forever be stuck in my brain. I can remember sitting in her dimly litted office with a picture of her son on her computer screen. She sat there with a yellow cardigan and black shirt staring at me. She sat there and twiddled her fingers for a second, while flipping through my file. She looked up at me with her dark brown eyes and said “Morgan, I don’t know how you are going to do this. I don’t think you can graduate. I think the best option for you is to drop out and give up.” My face…

numbing paste all over my mouth, it was very gross. I could feel my mouth start to tingle and slowly get warmer as it started to numb. The paste didn’t take as long as the laughing gas, within seconds I could feel my tongue start to tingle then go numb, then following that my upper gums did the same. The doctors said the operation would take around forty-five minutes. They also told me that every five minutes the band around my arm would blow up and take my blood pressure. I.t was really weird…

about the people it serves because they never receive any visitors from CHS to see how their clinic is doing and what its needs are. She noted that CHS decided to not pay for coffee and the coffee cups that HMA had always paid for. As a result, the doctor actually purchased them himself for his employees. Although they appreciate that he would do such a thing, they do not feel he should be the one paying for these supplies. Considering what she likes most about her job, she loves the human…

and he figured out pretty quickly what was wrong. “You go wash off that blood I’ll go get the nurse. I went to the bathroom sink, which was located outside of the bathroom. It took a while to clean off because the sinks were automatic so very ten seconds I had to wave my hand in front of the sensor. I used a combination of wet and dry paper towels to dry and clear the blood that had already created a gross crust, the sign on the dispenser said “Take one please.” I felt like I was an exception in…

I was really beginning to fret about my back. We got the x- rays and a few days later we got the results. Nothing appeared to be wrong. Just a little area that may have looked off. The doctor assumed it was hurting me because of growing, but she still recommended three to four weeks off of gymnastics and softball. I was really nervous for this long break. Would I be afraid of the skills I had once mastered? Would I fall behind in conditioning…

Bulldogs. We were winning almost all the way through the game until 2 minutes were left on the clock. I was in playing the wing and one of my teammates had just fouled out of the game so one of my other teammates came in. We were down by 3 with 11 seconds left when I drove in for a layup, but when I went up I was shoved and when I came down I landed right on my head. I laid there while play continued but I wasn’t moving that much, after they noticed me just lying there my dad ran out on the…

surgery, there was a reason. It isn’t expected of me to do this but when it comes to needles and tubes going up my nose I wasn’t too thrilled. Nurse Kim escorted me to my pre op room to prepare for my knee surgery. I’m not necessarily scared of the doctors or nurses but I just watched a whole season of Grey’s Anatomy before my surgery so in my mind, the simplest surgery can end in death with one mistake. The gown was very plain and open in the back, not the cutest thing in the world but…

It was then that my husband came in and told me that the baby was having some trouble breathing because she swallowed some of the amniotic fluid while being delivered. I became very concerned and wanted to speak to her pediatrician immediately. The doctor came in and explained to me that this was very common for section babies and that she would be fine. It wasn’t until 8 hours later that I got to hold my baby for the first time. I felt anxious, nervous and sad but happy at the same time because…

Having a child is one of the happiest moments of many people’s lives, getting to encounter this first hand is a very great experience. It was the second week of school and my fiance, Abby and I had been waiting on our son to be born for about eight and a half months. Because Abby still lived in Minot and I live on campus in Bismarck I wanted to know way before hand if she was going to the hospital. During my afternoon class I got a call and because we are not supposed to use our phones in class…

Gramma claims, stating that she is losing weight for her wedding and that she does not purge her food often, Gramma states, “They all said the same thing when they started dear. (...) You know what I would like to do? I would like to take you to a doctor. And we’ll talk it over and you can tell them” (Lines 98-103). When Gramma refers to Sissy as “dear,” she is confirming one of her own desired identities of being a supportive and loving parental figure in Sissy’s life. Through the use of this…
