...It is easier for me to tell a story or write an essay if I have first-hand experience about the subject. The focus of my essay is the intense experience I went through with having a baby. On September 29th, of 2012, I had a baby girl by the name Bri’Asyah Shamoa Nix. By the time she was born, it was too late to make any life decisions for me as an individual. It all started when my child's father and I were walking to the store on a very cold evening. The two of us were going back and forth about a lot of nonsense. We were already mad about the car breaking down and having to walk to the store, and arguing made it worse. After several long minutes passed, I felt a very painful move in my back and side. I assumed it was the hernia I was diagnosed...

(Berkowitz, 2011, pg 263) and depth "refers to the nimber of product items within each product line." (Berkowitz, 2011, pg 263) For a solo-practice family practitioner who does not deliver babies, the breadth of this organization is very narrow. The practitioner only has one practice and they have excluded themselves from delivering babies, which may be something wanted from a growing family. On the other hand, the depth of this organization can possibly still be great. They can offer family counseling services, perscription services on site, and...

...Running head: Adult Patient Education Issues Essay and Interview Adult Patient Education Issues Essay and Intervie June 29, 2012 There are many issues that arise when teaching older patients. These barriers may consist of barriers such as chronic illness, sensory changes, cognitive changes, and medications. A patient’s life experiences may also affect patient education. It is up to the educator to make adjustments to best fit each individual’s needs and provide the best outcome possible. I conducted an interview with Mrs. L., a 89 year-old homemaker, and her daughter, Ms. L, a 63-year old mortgage broker. Mrs. L. was being admitted for congestive heart failure after her daughter noticed a marked increase in weight gain over a period of one week. Mrs. L’s BNP was 863 and neither the patient nor the mother understood the significance of this level; moreover, they did not understand the nature of the blood test or what it represented. They were told in the emergency room that the BNP was 863 and “your mother is going to be admitted to the telemetry unit.” Mrs. L.’s hemoglobin was 7.2 and both women understood the meaning of hemoglobin level as the patient suffers from chronic anemia. Not being satisfied with the information they received in the emergency room and the lack of the physician to address the issue and potential complications, the daughter opted to wait until mom was situated on the telemetry unit. At this time she stated, “the teaching began.” The...

...of those whose candle-flames would otherwise be expunged all too soon. Like God, doctors have become the Alpha and Omega, First and Last, Life and Death. Richard Selzer in his essay “The Knife” compares himself to a clergy. He states that his “regalia is not a surplice and cassock, but a gown and mask” (41). He knows that although his profession is priest-like there is a difference in the techniques; a priest uses a Bible, prayer, holy water, the blood and body of Christ. A surgeon uses medical books and journals, surgical instruments and their honed skills to do their work. The forms of cleansings used are different, but, both are meant to rid impurities from the body. The skills of a surgeon are described as posed, elegant, delicate and capable of healing, very much like the way religious believers view their God. Richard Selzer said he still marveled over the power the blade has, but the scalpel is only as powerful as the doctor whose hands it rests in. Many still marvel over the many wonders and miracles of the world, concluding that they are God’s creation. Doctors, too create miracles everyday giving patients a new perspective on life. Being a surgeon is very stressful, because the body is a complicated and sometimes dangerous place for doctors. In Selzer’s essay it is referenced as a “dangerous country,” and the doctor is the “traveler” on...

Male Reproduction What it Does Good and Bad 04. Fertilization 05. References Human Reproduction System Hi, my name is Sary Metellus and I am doing an essay on the Human Reproductive System, Male and Female. “All living things reproduce.” (Steven Dowshen, Femal Reproductive System, 2010) That’s a pretty interesting saying. Both male and female reproductions are very important to produce a new individual – a child, baby. Now I’m writing about the female system like the organs unlike the males which are hung out, the females are inside the body. The female’s internal reproductive organs are the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. The vagina is the inside the body which is connected to the vulva and that is the outside covering. It’s a muscular hollow tube, which connects the opening to the uterus. It’s muscular so it can contract and expand, which helps with delivering a baby or using a tampon. The cervix is the neck, which has strong thick walls, and it is the opening to the uterus. The uterus is shaped like an upside-down pear and is very strong, it is the part where it will hold the baby and grow the baby in it. The uterus is connected to the fallopian tube which connects to the ovaries. There are two oval-shaped ovaries, one on each side of the...

...Essay: Male and Female Reproductive System Do you know how you were born? Do you know how you came to be? The reproductive system is the system that made that all possible. Without the reproductive system you wouldn’t have been born. In order to produce offspring, the male and female reproductive systems have to be different. Each system has different parts, problems and care. Each system have different purposes, the male reproductive system’s function is to produce sperm, while the female reproductive system’s function is to produce ova, store ova and house a fertilized egg. The male reproductive system is divided into two categories: internal and external reproductive organs. External organs are outside the body and internal organs are inside the body. The external reproductive organs are the penis, testes, scrotum, epididymis, and somniferous tubules, which are in the testes. The penis allows liquid waste and semen to leave the body. The testes, which are comprised of somniferous tubules, produce sperm. Sperm mixes with seminal fluids to produce semen. Semen is released through the penis and sperm in the seminal fluid has the ability to fertilize an egg. The scrotum protects and holds the testes and epididymis. The epididymis stores sperm. It also allows them to mature The internal reproductive organs are the vas deferens, seminal vesicles, Cowper’s gland, and the prostate gland. The vas deferens extends from each epididymis. They allow the sperm to leave the scrotum...

...Excerpts from On Writing Well William Zinsser New York, Harper, 1998, Chapters 2 through 4 2. Simplicity Clutter is the disease of American writing. We are a society strangling in unnecessary words, circular constructions, pompous frills and meaningless jargon. Who can understand the viscous language of everyday American commerce and enterprise: the business letter, the interoffice memo, the corporation report, the notice from the bank explaining its latest "simplified" statement? What member of an insurance or medical plan can decipher the brochure that tells him what his costs and benefits are? What father or mother can put together a child's toy—on Christmas Eve or any other eve—from the instructions on the box? Our national tendency is to inflate and thereby sound important. The airline pilot who announces that he is presently anticipating experiencing considerable precipitation wouldn't dream of saying that it may rain. The sentence is too simple—there must be something wrong with it. But the secret of good writing is to strip every sentence to its cleanest components. Every word that serves no function, every long word that could be a short word, every adverb that carries the same meaning that's already in the verb, every passive construction that leaves the reader unsure of who is doing what—these are the thousand and one adulterants that weaken the strength of a sentence. And they usually occur, ironically, in proportion to education and rank. During the late 1960s...
