Personal Narrative: The Anesthesiologist
I was able to shadow Dr. Bohman on several occasions and witness a multitude of procedures. anesthesia is an interesting field, half the time you’re checking on patients, giving nerve blocks, and the other half you’re watching a monitor and checking vitals; add to it the on-call hours and you’ve got a job that requires a lot of dedication. The only downside at least from the perspective of an observer is that often you do not get to see what’s going on because the of the sheet they pin up.
Oddly enough, that same person walked through my door about thirty minutes later, or at least I thought it was him. I yelled at him. Full on screamed at him for giving me a medicine that nearly killed me. He looked flustered, but then recovered moments later. “What are you talking about?”
My partner Giovanna and I first went to a building downtown near Bayside. Where there is a lot happening from one place to another. This structure had thirty-nine floors and it was called the One Biscayne Tower. The elevators were super-fast and frightening. It felt as though we were riding the Tower of Terror at Disney.
Another day at Hamtramck Medical Center learning more about this career each day, but today was a good day. Not a lot of people came pulse my supervisor tough me how to do the throat culture. “It’s very easy all you have to do is clean your hands, and then remove the swab from the packing. Ask the patient politely to open his/her mouth, and then turn his/her face against the light. Guide a swab over the tongue; rub the swab firmly over the back of the throat, both the tonsils and any areas of inflammation.
On August 11th, Sue was taken to Taylorville Memorial Hospital after collapsing at work. She had been acting funny all day. She was off balance, speaking differently, and seemed off all day. The emergency room physician diagnosed her with diabetes and high blood pressure. When I arrived at the hospital, my mother had been released, standing outside the emergency room entrance.
Your patients are always going to be scared at first because they have no idea what they are getting done, but by going through the details with them will ease their fear. In addition, you have to make sure you are always showing your respect towards your patients because that will calm them down, and they will be able to trust you.
I was highly impressed by the overall teamwork in the emergency department. It has a sense of organized chaos that would have taken me some time to adjust to. My nurse and I ended up going through a large group of patient during the time I was there. The nurse has this uniformity to how she would get her tasks done. The thing that through me off was the amount of stuff got done with our patients by other people.
It was the beginning of June 2015. I had signed up to start volunteering at the Henry Ford Hospital. I was not sure what my job there would be, and I had no experience, whatsoever, working in a hospital. I knew that I would not be assigned a difficult job as it would be my first time working there. My job there was about to start in a few weeks.
I was only six months old when my birth family decided they couldn’t take care of me. I had a serious medical condition that needed surgery, they knew they couldn’t afford. I Needed to get open heart surgery because I had a leaking valve in my heart. Blood wasn’t able to pump to the rest of my body. You hear of children being left at a police station or being left on a door step.
It’s been two days since I have fallen from my home and landed on the ground near my home. Thinking I was going to die near my home gave me a bit of joy but then the wind decided to talk to me, it accidentally blew me away. Now I’m losing all confidence while enduring terrible pain. But I can’t think that I still have memories of my home or know as The Provider, I can still remember the refreshing smell of my home.
My inpatient rotation was a little different than I expected. I was told it was extremely busy compared to normal; the unit was full and the day’s schedule was running far behind. Twenty-two patients were split between two residents, so morning rounds had pushed back morning report by a full hour. I sat in the resident lounge talking with a third resident whose shift was ending as we waited for the attending and two other residents to arrive. The following two hours consisted of the presentation of several complex cases, and I was interested to see the team dynamic as they brainstormed possible treatment plans.
Nursing has always been a passion of mine, especially labor and delivery nursing. While others in my class would cringe away from the birth video in my freshman health class, I watched in fascination, tearing up at how natural and joyous childbirth was. When I told my parents, they were hesitant when it came to their support. My mother thought it was a messy job that required too much liability insurance. Unfortunately for her I was headstrong and refused to listen.
It was April seventeenth of my 6th grade year. I was going to have eye tooth surgery at Western Lake Erie Oral Surgeons. Traveling in the car on Friday morning, I had butterflies in my stomach. Thinking about it made my gut twist, turn, and rumble. I saw the building that we were pulling into and noticed that it was right next to Ralphie 's. We got to the parking lot
Nearly 19 years ago, my Dad suffered a severe heart attack. The family was summoned to the emergency room. There we met with the surgeons, and were informed his condition was grim and he was not likely to survive the night. They advised if he did recover, he was likely to have suffered brain damage due to lack of oxygen. After the initial shock, for an unexplained reason, I felt at peace.
My passion for healthcare lies with patient care. I enjoy taking care of patients and their family. I have chosen to become a family nurse practitioner because I can combine nursing and medicine to provide a higher level of care to my patients. As a nurse practitioner will be able to make an impact on my patient’s health through, health promotion, disease prevention, managing acute and chronic conditions and improving patient’s health (Wynne,
