My hands start shaking when the gun shots go off in rapid succession, three shots, seconds later, four more. I press the numbers 911 on the screen. A woman on the other end asks, "What is your emergency? " Quickly, I speak, "corner of Madison and Denver… a woman was screaming… then gunfire… seven shots, hurry."
Before I even step foot in the door I could hear sobbing and the distress in a woman 's voice. I carried in the necessary equipment, the cops were actively doing CPR as the advanced life support provider (ALS) was looking for IV access. As EMS personnel we took over for the cops, we placed a LUCAS device on him, it 's a device that does compressions for you. Then, we continued ventilating the patient and placed him on a backboard in preparation to transport and move the patient.
If you witness a dangerous situation and do not call out for help, you are partly at fault for the trauma that ensues. Do not keep quiet because you think it is a joke. Never expect someone else to speak up for you. You could be the only witness of any harmful situation, therefore it is up to you to seek help and
In the year 1965, Judy and her husband Ron were told that their four year old son Sean was autistic. During this time period, most people would have never heard of
The Nature of Mankind How do you react in the face of fear? Do you freeze, not knowing what to do, or suffice and take action? Are you scared stiff or get away from whatever it is? Maybe you’ve never been faced with this kind of situation.
Jennifer was born with many health issues, but her seizures have spiked my interests because I have watched her and my girlfriend 's twin boys, while their mom has gone out. There is a bone-chilling fear that she may have a seizure while her mom is not there. How would I handle that situation would I do the right steps to ensure she would be okay. I have a son who had cancer he has been in remission
Seizures occur due to an abnormal electrical charge in the brain. There are two different types of seizures: generalized and partial seizures. They are classified as two different groups because of where and how they begin. Generalized seizures begin with an electrical charge that affects both sides of the brain at one time. Partial seizures begin with one electrical impulse that only affects a small part of the brain.
Properly reacting to a situation can be vital to a person's well-being, as well as their future.
Just like in the ambulance there were people all around me. I felt a stabbing pain in my hand and jerk it away. The pricks seem to just keep coming. My instincts were to jerk away each time. I got to the point where I was kicking and screaming.
When in danger, it’s natural to feel afraid. This fear triggers many split-second changes in the body
1. Introduction Absence Seizures have been a medical concern for a long time, and were first described in medical literature back in 1705 by Poupart (Temkin, 1971). According to The World Health Organization (WHO) at least 40 forms of epilepsy have been identified, and they are characterized by an abrupt and transitory synchronization of neuron activities, whose causes are not always well known. 2.

My heart started pounding. “What are you trying to do with that!!!”I kept asking. My mom tried to calm me down by saying she just wanted to see something, but that did not calm me down as I continued to keep pulling my hand away. She pricked my finger, and I knew in three seconds my life would change drastically. “Beep!”
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” - World Health Organisation, 1946. Although there have been a number of ground breaking discoveries in science as a whole I strongly believe more can be done within neurology. Epilepsy affects more than 500,000 people in the UK that is almost one in every 100 people. I wish to study neuroscience as I would like to look into conditions such as this but also explore into neuroaesthetics. Having a close family member being diagnosed with epilepsy, I have been exposed to the fundamental importance of how to deal with seizures.
