The Long Wait

Every three years, we take a vacation. Florida. Florida. Florida. The same place. Every. Single. Time. Why? Family. 6 PM the night before. We go to bed, to get prepared for a long day. Anxiety overwhelms my ability to sleep. I finally feel sleepy, and start to drift off. The next morning, my parents wake me up at 2 A.M. to go to the airport. I get out of bed with the feeling of a zombie. I just want to sleep. I get dressed, and head down to the car. We load our luggage, and head…

Emergency Department Crowding ED crowding is a national problem. The number of patients visiting EDs is growing…

With the metal railings at the top waiting to be leaned over and talked through. Straight ahead, the stone dining table surrounded by cushioned chairs, lays waiting to do so much more than just hold food. It waits to be a part of memories, it waits to catch spills and have new stains, and it waits for the day when it will use all ten seats for a…

that healthcare should not be handed out. Free rights to health care could increase the wait time for medical services and the patience to doctor ratio will become overbearing, providing health care would decrease competition within doctors and increase in personal and economical taxes causing the government to then be able to have more say in things. If health care was free then think of how the in hospital wait time would fluctuate. With healthcare being free to everyone a person…

"Justice too long delayed is justice denied." “Letter From Birmingham Jail” was written to religious authorities. MLK is writing this letter to explain his reason for civil disobedience. He justifies his acts by explaining how the oppressed can not stay oppressed. Martin Luther King incorporates a medley of syntax and figurative language in order to justify the non-violent protests against racism. MLK uses anaphora and parallelism in order to express the need for civil disobedience. In his…

can clear up any misunderstandings viewers may have, and they add emphasis to a character’s feelings. In Act II, Sc. 5, L.7-8, Juliet mentions Venus and Cupid so that the audience knows how much she loves Romeo, and the anxiety she is facing in her wait for the nurse…

succo / Pixabay The American legal system has long depended upon the lowly juror to effectuate justice within its system. The juror is the fact-finder in most civil criminal matters in a court of law in the United States. The juror decides which set of presented facts represents the best truth, and how to mete out justice based on those findings. And although we do not think about it often, as a fact-finder, the juror is pivotal in protecting society from abuse by corporate and governmental…

something different therefore we could share but after our first bites the three of us had fallen in love with our order. It was blissful. For every great experience there is an obstacle to overcome. In our situation, it was the extensive line, we had to wait to get seated. In the week spent in Hawaii, we ate at Eggs ‘N Things four times. All four times eagerly waiting in line and for our delicious food. I have vowed to return to Eggs ‘N Things no matter what because it is like a piece of…

The data was collected and then compared by each provider (pre intervention and intervention time period) to conclude these results. This was a significant finding for the clinic, especially with the average appointment time being 80-90 mins long. This was the stimulus for implementing the standardize discharge packet. This intervention, as stated previously, included the discharge sheet with an update medication list, the sbe form and activity form. During the discharge phase of the appointment…

stops within a bus service can either be close to a student’s house or far away. If they are close then it wouldn’t be much trouble to wait for the bus. Unfortunately for those who live a long ways away, it would be inconvenient. If it was freezing cold or it was storming, then those kids would have to endure the weather and suffer because they are forced to wait. Students with disabilities have it even worse. An adolescence with a broken leg or crutches will be forced to limp to the bus stop,…
