It was almost midnight when I got the call from Dr. Seagraves. She told me to meet her in the physicians lounge at 7 am: we had a case. The next morning began like any other in the operating room. We met with the patient, I received permission to observe and then got suited up for case. The patient was an elderly African American woman, she called me handsome and smiled comfortably. When we made it into the OR I was asked to help lift the patient from bed to table, with a subtle warning of “watch out, it’s gooey.” Dr. Seagraves parted the patient’s gown, exposing a mass of raw tissue that somewhat resembled a leg. The patient had suffered a week’s worth of necrotizing fasciitis, more commonly known as flesh eating bacteria. The wound had a certain odor, a putrid smell you do not forget. Our hearts sank in unison as we realized what we were up against. We had to act fast. Dr. Seagraves began scrubbing the wounded tissue as the Anaestesiologist monitored the patient’s progress. I had observed Dr. Seagraves on multiple occasions and never did she express concern for the outcome. For the first time in our relationship I heard her mutter, “This is not good. This is not good at all.”

Along her journey in the field of medicine she always tried to promote medical education for women. If fact, she ended up opening up a medical college for women.

This statement can be explained with the information that is stated above with James Fallon. He did indeed have a damaged brain however it did not lead to him becoming “insane” or a violent criminal, showing that not all damage leads to a person being a killer. Lewis has worked with several

How can one live an ethical life? Most humans strive to live in a good and kind way; however, deciding right from wrong depends on the person's own moral and ethical code. Ethics, as described by a team at Santa Clara University, ¨refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues.¨ However living an ethical life can mean different things to different people, one ultimate ethical code can not fit every person. James Pasztor writes how ¨we often speak about ethics as if we know what it is, as if it is black and white . . .

After witnessing the pain her grandfather had to endure, Gertrude realized she wanted to find a way to fight cancer.
