The Left Leg

had all left. Heather and I prepared the body to go to the next destination, the morgue. I could tell that this was troubling Heather, so I offered her some advice that had been given to me on my first dead on arrival call as an EMT. “what you see here is nothing more than a vehicle, the occupant has left and is no longer in this vehicle.” As we are securing the final toe tag to the shroud the nursing supervisor and a security guard arrived to remove the body. Heather and I both left the room…

The Anatomy of the Mitral Valve The mitral valve, also called the left bicuspid atrioventricular valve, is located in the left side of the heart between the left atrium and the left ventricle. In relation to the sternum, the mitral valve is positioned posteriorly and is at the height of the 4th costal cartilage of the rib cage (Moore, Dalley and Agur, 2014). The valve is composed of two cusps, the anterior and the posterior cusps, which are held in place by chordae tendinous cords (Snell, R.S.…

Wednesday and I was enjoying the fact that I didn’t have anything to do. I take my time waking up enjoying the feelings of grogginess melting away as I sit. Glancing sidelong at the clock. 10:15am, plenty of time to do something with the day. Pulling my legs off the bed I undress and climb into the shower. The water washes away the last feelings of sleep and I feel much more alert. I think about what I could do. I should…

coach came up to me and said “Will you be able to play the rest of the game?”. “I don’t think I can coach.” I said. Then he passed me a ball and said “here catch” before I even had a chance to think. I shot out the hurt hand, because I catch with my left, and I caught it. When my hands clamped the ball I felt this horrible agonizing pain in my wrist again and I dropped the ball. Coach saw the pain I had when I started to coddle my wrist again. “I think you should go home and get some rest.”.…

German expressionist Martin Zeller, The Orator captures the fleeting moment in which the titular speaker basks in the climax of his great and powerful message. While he stands just to the left of center, his body takes up the entire length of the picture and covers the span of the entire left side. With his arms and legs spread wide on a raised orange-brown platform, he throws back his head toward to sky to summon a great miracle, message, or magic. Or perhaps he himself is the miracle as the…

That summer I had few things going on, but my church youth group trip was the main event. The trip was to Colorado and began as expected, wake up early and pile into a bus with about 40 other people. The first leg of the trip was more of a meet and greet, a “Hi, nice to meet you, I’m going to fall asleep with my face on your shoulder drooling on you,” kind of meet and greet. They were very accepting and friendly people, but we attended many of church district…

a diagonal, outwards direction to increase her speed. Her stride lengths are decent but could be improved by simply keeping her skates parallel to the ice and gliding longer after each push. If Daria follows through with her leg motion and continues to fully extend each leg, she can increase her overall stride length thus conserving her energy. Daria would benefit by lowering her center of gravity and bending her knees so that she can no longer see her toes. This would give her a more balanced…

On my first day of (public) school ever, I walked into the wrong classroom, went to the wrong lunch, was late to class and forgot my locker combination (several times). This was two years ago. Considering that I had to debunk my own fair share of rumors about being homeschooled -- so, you just watch TV all day? Do you even have any friends? Are you like a genius, or something? -- I probably shouldn’t have been too surprised when my High School Musical perceptions of public school were a bust.…

I didn’t know where I was or how i got there I only remember what happened to me… I woke up on a lawn, scared out of my mind, in pain. I saw bruises on my legs and arms and scratches around my body. I ran home. I walked into my house and my mom ran up to me asking where have I been and what have I been doing and if I was okay. I fell into her arms crying. And I told her. While I’m trying to take in…
