The Five Doctors

On September 23,2017 it has been a month since I had knee surgery. My doctor said he is even more pleased now than before. I have more strength in my leg now than before. I do try to push myself too far when it comes to my knee. I want to heal faster, and my therapist says the harder you push yourself the longer it’s going to take to get where you want to be. I want to heal faster because I want to be able to get back to my life and doing what I love. What I love is being able to run and play…

Snap. It was almost five years ago when I fractured the largest bone in my body. We prepped for the stunt and threw my teammate in the air but when we caught her everything started to spiral. I screamed and collapsed on the ground. I was crying so much that my best friend cried too because she hated to see me in so much pain. My coach tried to see if I could move but I couldn’t. She tried to make me feel better by saying everything would be fine and that I just tore a muscle but I knew it was…

the first to notice that I "like" getting gloomy. The first time I can recall feeling strange and overwhelmed with hopelessness, restlessness and fear was when I was about eleven, I believe. I felt ill. My mother took me to a local dispensary. The "doctor" must have guessed an illness and some medication to go along with it. I remember forgetting how to cough(I think I had a panic attack), I remember running helplessly in the rain, I remember running away from home after being fed up with living…

vocation ways, including private practice, college doctor 's facility work, or an occupation with a wellbeing support association. The main lets the doctor work for himself. The second offers him the chance to separation his work between treatment, exploration and direction, in shifting extents. The third means he work for a huge company, which furnishes him with patients and handles the greater part of the authoritative and business assignments that doctors in private practice need to handle…

position, as it very much is, but often doctors unintentionally view patients as a medical chart with numbers and information, rather than a person with a family. Nurses spend the most amount of time with their patients; thus, they learn what makes a patient laugh or cry, and they understand their patients’ comfort levels so they work in a way to form relationships with each and every one they care for. Nurses save patients’ lives just as often as doctors. In order to save lives, nurses must be…

for both my husband and I. Our joy was continued throughout the pregnancy until the doctor had offered us possible test to see if the baby had any problems. I didn’t want to know until the baby was born, but my husband insisted. The doctor conducted a maternal blood screening, as well as a noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (Santrock 2014, pg. 52). The tests came back positive for Down syndrome. At that point the doctor asked me if I would consider aborting the pregnancy. I was shocked at how fast…

situation. The doctor rushed in and checked my cervix. “That is the cord. Not the baby” A feeling of pure panic filled the room. I knew it was a cord prolapse. She tried to push the umbilical cord back up into me, but the baby’s heart rate dropped again. She looked at my husband and yelled “Ryan, push that red button on the wall now!” I knew what was about to happen, but I was convinced my husband had no idea the course of action that was about to take place. About 30 doctors and nurses…

tonsils taken out, at eight years old. It really affected me because in the year of 2010 alone, I had already had strep throat about five or six times. It had been going on since we moved to Ohio, from Indiana in 2009, and it was just getting worse. My doctor was worried and we were sent to an ENT doctor, which stands for ears, nose and throat. I still know my doctor and go to get checked every six months. So from my tonsillectomy and recovery, here are the moments I remember. When we started…

during my navy enlistment molded me into the strong woman I am today. I am no longer the meek girl that hides in the corner trying not to be noticed, afraid to stand up. I met an amazing man of whom I have been married to for 24 years and we have five amazing daughters (3 biological and 2 adopted). The skills from my navy career also helped me secure a job out-side the…
