found out that the injury was to my second layer of skin. I put on a gigantic bandage on my chin the next day, not knowing that I would get a huge rash on my chin. I went to summer camp that day and when I got home, my chin was irritating me a lot. I took the bandage off and around my injury, it was all bright pink. I thought “ Ehh, it’s okay, it will go away.” The rash did indeed go away but that was not until the day after. We then visited the doctor and the doctor told us that I should have…
Adriana and How She Overcame Her Disability “Daddy look out!!” Adriana, a sweet little six-year-old girl living in Spanian, screamed, pointing at the oncoming red GMC Sierra 1500. As Adriana’s family went whirling towards the bright headlights of the pickup-truck that was speeding down the wrong side of the road by a drunk driver, the vehicles collided. All the family could hear were the high-pitched screams coming from Adriana and her 10 year old sister. Adriana’s long, curly, dark brown and…
Medicine – The first doctor that was known…
justice for Mrs. Spirelli and her child as they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. There isn’t much doubt that if the State/Mr. Spirelli would sue Dr. Benzene and/or Mr. Johnson they would win. So the question really is who should they sue? The Doctor could be sentenced at a max to five years in prison plus assigned damages and at a minimum, probation. On the other hand Mr. Johnson could serve anywhere from two to five years in…
assumed it was from rigorous stretching my coach was having me do. The doctor ordered me to have a Bone Scan and MRI performed on the lesion in my hip. The results came back clean, but I was referred to a specialist for a second opinion. March 2015, six months after being referred for a second opinion, I was finally sitting in the doctor's office waiting to hear the results. By now, my hip was in tremendous pain. The doctor came into the room and I was told I…
Next double roundhouse kick. I wait for the only other student to finish his kick that warm summer night. Finally my turn. I'm gonna kick this pad really hard . First kick perfect. On my second kick I lift up my leg, then I collapse in the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my life. In my best effort, I look over to see my knee disfigured I felt so much pain, and humiliation. I barely managed to hold back my tears. Then I feel more pain, I look over and see my knee back in place and my…
On what seemed like a typical weeknight during my freshman year of high school, my friends and I walked to football practice. The walk to the field was always nerve-wracking because we spent our time wondering what kind of physical exhaustion we would be subjected to during the next few hours. After reaching the field, we carried out our routine stretches. However once the team had finished, our coach made us form a single line. Each person stood facing the back of the person in front of him.…
physicians. We implemented a see one, do one, and teach one framework, which helped me become a better instructor and leader. At the end of day I could see the improvement in our patients’ health. In addition, I was selected as a tutor for first and second year medicals students, where I assessed weakness and implemented various teaching modalities including visual aids and auditory memory cues. It was fulfilling work together to improve their academic success. Many of these students have…
With Staph “Let ‘er buck boys!” and the chute gate swung open and the beast blew outta there like Mr. Sweeney’s temper when he feels he is being ignored. He exploded into a series of spins and belly rolls. My thoughts were stuck on making the eight second ride, as if it were the only thing that mattered in the world. In great disappointment, I felt a quick pop and recognized that my hand has blown outta the handle on my rope. One, two, almost three more jumps I ride without anything to hold me…
By signing a waiver of consent, a patient is allowing their doctor to perform any procedure they feel is required to keep the patient safe and healthy. Before medical professionals give consent, the patient must know all of the possible outcomes the procedure could have. “It is the duty of the doctor to make a reasonable disclosure to his patient of the nature and probable consequences”(Kirby 69). By not telling the patient, the doctor is denying the patient of their human rights of their own…
