Third Doctor

Throat “A lump in my throat” is a common phrase used amongst many to express their feelings of sadness, but I had a literal lump in my throat. Missing days upon days of school was a problem, but my mother took me to multiple doctors, hoping to discover what was wrong with me. One doctor discovered that I had mono, an illness common in teenagers. Others searched for things I could be allergic to, and even had me go on special diets. This time of my life was especially difficult, but it all turned…

Every day, an image saves someone’s life. How? A diagnostic image can provide doctors with knowledge about a patient’s health. Images are an innovation that has changed the way people live, not only in the health industry but in their personal life, too. They allow people to capture memories and share their experiences with others. Digital and diagnostic are two types of images; diagnostic images are used by doctors while digital images are used by most people. The two types of images are…

essentially. The AMA supports the removal of such devices because it allows the patient to take up the risk of dying that is part of the illness they have. The reason the AMA supports such actions, but they do not support assisted suicide is because when a doctor removes the breathing apparatus, he or she are not removing the devices with specific intent to kill the patient (Karaim, 2013, p. 457). Even though the American Medical Association does not support assisted suicide, some bioethicists…

culture and economy of the home islands, across Doctor Akagi and Akira. In this essay I will compare and contrast the Doctor Akagi and Akira. These two films, produced respectively 1988 (Akira) and 1998 (Doctor Akagi), show Japan in a time of crises, with destruction on the horizon. Throughout both the plot each film ventures in all aspects of society, from neo-slums to tech villas in Akira; to country brothels and military receptions in Doctor Akagi. The value in this comparison is that the…

In the short story, The First Appendectomy by William A. Nolen, the author explains to the readers, even when times get tough you should not until the job is finally done. Dr. Nolen was a beginner,“After two months of my internship... I’d watched the assistant residents work… [and] made an occasional incision” (Nolen 146). Since this appendix operation would be his first ever procedure Dr. Nolen prepared enough to the point where he could retell the steps like he says his name and all the hand…

victims coughed up was collected for examination. For many days the twins were photographed so the doctors could investigate their hair patterns. They were forced into many uncomfortable positions for these photos such as holding their arms up for hours. Following this they were sent to another barrack to sit in hot water until they were ready to pass out. Next they were strapped down to a table so the doctors could pluck out their hair in order to…

“Go find those two patients, Hannah. I’ll be back soon.” “Don’t call me Hannah. “Hannah sounds way more cute than Han does!” I sighed, rolling my eyes and deciding that if Caleb was actually being serious, there was something to that Doctor Howard. I needed to find Josh, but where would be be? “PLEASE DON’T LET HIM DO THIS TO ME! DON’T! N-NO! NO!” My attention was quickly jerked to the end of the hallway. He was so fucking terrified as he screamed and thrashed around. “J-Josh?” The name…

It was a cold winter day. We were running out of wood in the basement and I was always the one who helped my dad put more into the basement. I was in the third grade and loved helping my dad outside with his chores that he had to do. My dad told me that he was going out to put some wood in the basement and I began bundling up in my warm winter clothes. I put on my snow pants, coat, boots, hat, and work gloves before heading outside to help. My dad was pulling out of the garage on the four…

In Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," there is a series of events that happen within an hour that ultimately leads to the death of a woman named Mrs. Mallard.

The story starts with Mrs. Mallard getting news that her husband has just been in a train crash. He has passed away. She is very sad, so she goes to her room to cry. While Mrs. Mallard is in her room,…

How could I possibly have to decide how my sister dies? I knew something had to be done but why do I have to make the decision? I thought about it. The doctor gave me a day, and I finally decided to do it myself. I was sure she’d prefer it that way. Numbly, I walked to her room saw her laid out on a stretcher. I picked up the syringe that was on the table and took one last look at my dying sister. Swiping…
