Surprisingly, regardless of whether the patient’s expectations were or were not fulfilled, the patient/family seemed content with the experience and response received from the providers. For example, a patient received unexpected news; however, the way the team explained the situation and plan reassured the patient that they were in good hands. Did anything about the experience surprise you or make you uncomfortable? If there was conflict, what were the positions/perspectives behind the conflict and any strategies used to resolve
Day two clinicals. This day went so much smoother. I had the same two patient as the day before and one got discharged and I got a new patient.

Over my 17 years working at Jackson Memorial hospital, I honestly can say that I only had one conflict. Nothing major; however, the situation was tense and the problem needed to address.

As I was sitting in the pediatric waiting room in the St. Cloud hospital, I could not have been more terrified. I was a little frustrated that I was the pediatric side of the hospital because the room was filled with children with about 4 other teenagers, at most. I would scan the room just trying to figure out if any of them had the same problem as me, or how bad of conditions that these children could have. It had only taken about thirty minutes for them to call my name, even though there were others that had been waiting much longer than I had. Which looking back it had made sense that none of those other children were going through what I was.
These situations have taught me that doctors treat their patients in a holistic 13 manner, considering their dignity when deciding on the best medical help. Coming across a 14 woman with dementia and a fractured femur highlighted the need for good doctor-patient 15 relationship by showing empathy for the patient, clearly communicating their medical opinion 16 whilst also listening to the patient's thoughts, showing understanding and compassion. Nurses 17 and physios used a high level of teamwork to provide effective care, making sure that there 18 was a better outcome for the patient and their families overall.

For this assignment, I interviewed my mother Elaine Meskouris. Director at Evlavia Doulavarous Preschool in Flushing, NY. 1. Me: So Mrs. Meskouris, why did you become a preschool director?
Talk about what went well in the scenario. I perform vitals sings and communicated effectively with Mr. Ahmed. I educated the patient in areas such as dehydration, fall risks, intake and ouptup measurements. In addition, I administer oral and intravenous medication to ensure proper drug
This year, I experienced both a personal and academic obstacle that correlate with one another. In January, I started the year long Medical Assisting program at my school. Prior to beginning this program, I was so excited to be getting a medically centered education, and learning about the field I wanted to expand my career in. After entering the program and learning that there is so much more to medicine than just taking care of patients, I began to lose my interest. This was shocking to me since, my whole life up until this year, I believed I was going to become an amazing medical doctor.
The date was February 22, 1980 in a snowy Lake Placid New York; “Morrow up to Silk, you’ve got five seconds left in the game, do you believe in miracles? Yes!” and so it began. Al Michael’s call ended the game, but the games impact just began to be recognized across America. The United States Men’s Olympic Hockey Team had just beaten the Soviet Union’s Olympic team 4 to 3 in a major upset that shocked the world.
In those hospital visits I had become accustomed to the sights and smells of a doctor’s office that instead of reminding me of pain, comforted me. I knew from then on, that the medical field was where I was called to serve.
In the beginning of the school year I started to seriously think about what I wanted to spend my thirty hours on. I really wanted to do something that would help others, I wanted to give back to my community. So I made my decision based off of my person experiences. I learned at a young age how unpleasant it is to not have when you truly need, especially when kids of all ages can be very mean.
I chose this specific portion of the interview because the interviewee is trying to value family relationship, as well as friendship, as important aspects towards recovery. He mentioned that moral support is what what need more than anything else and I strongly agree with his statement because doctors and nurses may play a big role whenever we feel ill but at the end, we need the support from our family and friends to keep us strong and positive. Simple things such as Mathew's family bringing him food and the presence of his close ones caused helped him recover faster because he has their full moral support which is something that some doctors cannot do. The transcription process was harder and longer than I have expected. It requires a lot
Work with children Throughout my high school and college years, I have had several experiences with children that have all played a part in shaping my love for working with children. During high school, I spent two summers nannying for two young school aged children. Working with these siblings really made me realize how much fun I have working with children and watching them grow. Once I came to college, I started another babysitting job working with two four year old twin girls.
As I was getting my assignment for the day, I was thinking “Am I going to remember what to say, or how to perform certain skills?” But, to my surprise, I was able to jump right back in.
