Baby B Sailingers 'War Stories'

“Let’s go to our gate!”pointed out my sweet mother. I went to the airport all ready to go to the gate, then the flight attendant told us to board so we got in line. I was looking behind me and I caught a tiny boy with chickenpox right away I told my mom, “The boy behind us has chicken pox,” and of course she told me don’t worry about it but I did. When we sprinted onto the airplane the little boy was sitting right behind my older sister that was when it got crazy. The security went on the plane and snatch the gentleman and his father off since

If I were at that hospital clear cut rules would be discussed regarding premature infant deaths along with sensitivity training.  Check points would be set up so that family would not have access to the actual areas where these infants were held after their passing.  A separate room would be set aside to facilitate this type of viewing.

Christine Le, an accountant living in Flushing, New York, gave birth to a healthy baby “Nathan” on January 29th, 2010. She found out that she was pregnant with her first child when her period was late. She had the routine prenatal care starting at 12 weeks and delivered at 40 weeks in a hospital with the present of her husband, Robert, and the in-laws. To insure her baby was healthy, Christine underwent several prenatal diagnostic methods like amniocentesis to examine for genetic defects. Another method was ultrasound; its purpose is to assess fetal age, multiple pregnancies, size and shape of the fetus. Christine underwent numerous lab tests to ensure that there are no complications (Berk, pg.43). Lab tests like a complete blood count that screens

Nowadays, cross-cultural communication is one of the keys to survive in this society. It plays an important role in our society. The book, A long way gone: Memoirs of a boy soldier, describes several cross cultural issues. This book is based on the true story of Ishamel Beah, who was solder in Republic of Sierra Leone. During his life time, he face a number of cultural shocks and tried to adapt each situation. Through story of his life, we can recognize some cultural differences and similarities between his central culture, Sierra Leon, and other individuals/groups. Thus, in this essay, I would like to discuss how are cultural differences and similarities between Ishamel’s culture and other cultures revealed. There are three main points; cultural differences shows cultural conflict and cultural integration, and cultural similarities reflects the Americanization.

Have you ever been hesitant to share a true story because you suspected that it would appear as a fabricated anecdote to your audience? Well, most of the time we add bunch of things or change a true story to make it sound genuine to our audience. We live in a judgmental and complex world where lying has become a part of our daily lives. Because of this habit, it is hard to differentiate the truth from a fabricated lie. Since I was a child, my parents always talked about battle of Adwa and many events that took place centuries ago. It is always amusing to listen to those stories because it is about heroic act that most of the kings of Ethiopia accomplished. Although I heard different versions of these stories, I always tend to believe my parents’ version. The reason is not simply the credibility of my parents’, but the way it was presented. According to the short story, “How to Tell a True War Story” by Tim O’ Brien, a true war story is hard to accept as true because some of the most agonizing parts are true, while some of the natural parts are not. Tim O’Brien’s narrative shows that a storyteller has the power to shape listeners’ views. We can change our perception because of the story teller, and neglect the fact that we are avoiding the actuality. Therefore by listening to different versions of a story, it will actually help the reader find greater truth of the story.

A true war story is rather difficult, if not impossible, to share when it goes beyond one’s imagination. Regarding such a story, one morally sound aspect about it is that it lacks morality or meaning to it. Extracting facts from a true war story is a daunting task because what seems to happen is what actually occurs. In what is to follow, I will tell one awful true war story.

On April 22, 2015 the Delta Gamma Theta sorority house at Muskingum University went through a different event that day. Emile Weaver was nine months pregnant and made it evident she did not want the baby. She had attempted to kill the baby prior by drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana, playing sports (dodgeball) and taking labor-inducing pills. That day (April 22nd) Emile went in her sorority bathroom and gave birth to a 6-pound, 10-ounce girl, named Addison Grace. She delivered the baby on the toilet and cut the umbilical cord with a kitchen knife. Once she cut the cord Emile put the baby and placenta in a trash bag, and threw it away. The baby died due to suffocation. Emile Weaver didn’t hide the evidence well because the house manager went

These excruciatingly long past 24 hours since my baby was born have been filled with doctors and nurses

The “Baby Boom” era occurred between the years of the late 1950s thru the 19970s and shaped America and its culture into the type of country it is today. It helps to understand these times to prevent history from repeating itself while better understanding how people were feeling during that time. Also, to better understand what was happening during that time by reading the literature that was written during that time period. Through Tim O’Brien’s “How to Tell a True War Story” to Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”, they reflect the cultural, economic, political, and intellectual upheavals the United States was experiencing. These stories affect your way of thinking about these times, especially the war.

He saw my son's head and I heard the nurse tell him that the baby was coming. He had no scrubs on. No gloves or mask. He was totally unprepared for a preterm birth. What bothered me a lot about this is that this is something that they deal with on a daily basis. You would think they would be more prepared. As I laid there, delivering him, I heard no sounds, no noise, but most importantly no crying from a baby. At this time, the morphine was turned off and so I started to see images. I remember screaming at my husband "what is going on"? He told me that there were nurses and doctors around him checking him with the Apgar scores, putting drops in his eyes, and suctioning his lungs. Finally, I heard him cry. They held him up to me and whisked

A new born baby died after doctors at a Bristol hospital placed a catheter in her body part in a wrong place.

The nurses in this small community hospital in no way upheld the Code of Ethics for nursing at this point of time in the care of the infant in this case. Primary responsibility and code is to give respect and good quality care to every patient. When the nurse turned off the monitor on this infant, they denied him the right to quality care. The nurse took away this infant’s worth by deciding to not treat him according to the orders and policies of the doctors and the hospital. Although the nurse could have turned the monitors off because it was disturbing one of her patients, and her job is to respect the primary interests of her patients. As an infant in the hospital at that time, he was a patient as well, even if not assigned to whichever particular nurse it was

I was working night shift in a level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit facility and my 10 days orientation was over. It was my first day working without my preceptor. Since I was a new staff, the charge nurse allocated two stable babies for me. One was Baby Zahra, a 33 weeks preemie, on room air, with nasogastric tube, with peripheral intravenous line to keep the vein open and feeding with expressed breast milk every 3 hours. I started my shift with a bit of nervousness knowing that I am on my own and wondering if I can remember everything that my preceptor had taught me during our orientation. I started my assessment and observed Baby Zahra to be pale, her skin was slightly mottled. I checked her vital signs. The cardiac monitor showed that she
