The Five Doctors

to become a doctor. I know the common skills that you must have in order to succeed in this field such as intellect, good grades, recommendations, etc, but there is more to just passing your classes obtaining a medical license and the word doctor in front of your name. In this field there many important character traits that a doctor must have, but I will focus on four of them which I believe are critical or highly important. The five character traits that I believe separate excellent and good doctors from average doctors are passion, empathy, communication, and thoroughness. Excellent doctors illuminated these traits every day. Empathy is a critical trait every truly excellent doctor…

After I was hooked up to all of the machines they gave me some laughing gas. Laughing gas is when you are awake for the surgery but you aren’t fully aware of what is going on around you. At first it wasn’t working but then it kicked in about five minutes later. Then they started smearing this 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…

only nodded in response. "Follow me towards the movie theater," uttered Dr. Stiner. He proceeded to jaunt towards the theater with Mason close behind. The way Mason paced himself only made it seem like he was having a struggle keeping up with the doctor. The walk lasted for roughly five minutes as they passed many miniature buildings. The theater is at the end of the road standing greater then the rest of the buildings. The theater was once a proud opera house with many floors below the opera…

That fear keeps coming back. Before the commencement of the school year, I had gotten myself on the JV Soccer team. I was delighted, we had been winning games and I had been playing seventy-five minutes a game as a starter. School had just commenced and we were still dominating other teams, except Marquette. They had killed us a couple days before school in a one to five loss, But after the first week of school, we had another shot at them in the Arrowhead tournament. It was a long and…

Imagine an eighteen-year-old girl during spring break, to be exact April 18,2016, where her mother dragged her to the doctors. This is where the feeling a failure had set in. Within the doctor’s office it was welcoming but also cold, confusing and eye opening non-the less. Sitting there piteously patience while time goes by … tick tock tick tock. Finally someone opens the door to the second part of the office and says” Sabrina Valente we are ready for you.” Getting up leisurely as my heart…

both days I was there I left at 11:00 A.M. Because I have wanted to help animals since I was little I wanted to job shadow a veterinarian. While I was on my job shadow I got to experience many procedures, and assist the doctors. When I first got there on Saturday October 15th, I identified a roundworm in a fecal sample through a microscope. Then, I counted different types of pills, and put them in the pill bottles to be given to the patient. Next, I watched Dr. Smith do an x-ray on a dog that…

In the world there are five senses. There's taste, smell, vision, hearing, and touch. All of these are in most people's lives, except me. Well, at least until now.

I was very thirsty, so I tried to stretch my arm out to get a cup of water, but nothing--nothing--moved. I started to panic, wondering what happened that night, but I didn’t get any answers until I figured them out myself.…
