Benefits Of Being A Server

Instead, nurses were to assist with the soldiers’ diet and make sure what they ate was carefully regulated. They cared for physical needs like distribution of linen and clothes. They also helped with emotional and spiritual care by comforting them and writing letters to their family for them.

During the conversation, in the presence of Dr. Blechman, my mother denominated me as (not limited to these) “very cruel”, “mean”, “aggressive”, “manipulative”, “not accepting of her love” or unloving, “very anguished”, “constantly angry/emotional/hormonal”, “with lots of baggage”, “a liar”, and stated that I had mentioned her inappropriate comments during the overnight visitation because I was power seeking and desired “to be above her”. When discussing the arguments over the weekend visit, she stated there had only been one on a Saturday night for 15 minutes, and that I had violently “shouted/screamed at her angrily while she sat there”. This was reasoned by my mother as being because I enjoyed “taking my anger out on her”. Furthermore, my mother stated that every argument or inappropriate action was my own fault, and that I made her

The lack of space required many places to be converted into temporary triage locations. Triage is a quick way to streamline examination and get serious cases handled first. Another issue was moving bedridden patients after their surgeries because of the narrow hatchways and doorways. The amount of patients required another ship to be dispatched to accommodate the patients. The lack of supplies and the variations of injuries caused continuous problems for surgeons, especially those who were becoming extremely fatigued. A common issue was that the extent of injuries could not have been determined completely until the patient was on the operating table. For example patients who were referred to as D and B in the report took the constant attention and the former succumbed to his injuries after two hours. the latter survived after given saline, but still needed constant attention. Another example is an unnamed patient who was not examined for over forty hours, had developed large maggots in his wounds. Unlike modern operating rooms, supplies could not be set up according to procedure. Because of the time required to properly sanitize blankets, many soldiers were without one. (Darby)

basic food hygiene, as well as actively supporting them in the initial storing of the food.

Today, MSC visited Maria at her residence for a face to face visit. When MSC walked in Maria was having a snack at the table. Maria waved and greeted her staff. MSC said, Hello, How are you?"

Albigence Waldo, a surgeon from Connecticut, very detailedly explains the horrid conditions of the Army, “which had been surprisingly healthy hitherto, now begins to grow sickly from the continued fatigues they have suffered this Campaign.” Ranging from the poor/ lack of food, hard lodging, cold weather, fatigue, nasty clouds, nasty cookery, vomit, freezing temperatures, and poor/ lack of clothing , everything seemed almost not endurable. He himself heartily wished himself at home, and he was only the surgeon. The vomit and unhealthy conditions can all lead to diseases and to possible death. I would much rather not have to endure these things and be with my family instead; knowing they're safe and not having to worry whether someone got sick or

Many physicians and caregivers were very hard to find, especially with proper training. In the barracks, the military was contained in a closed space, had poor hygiene, and all of these components led to the spread of disease and infection (Health and Medicine in Revolutionary America, n.d.). As reported by Dosespot, when living the life of a soldier in the American Revolution, you had a higher chance of dying in a hospital than in the battlefield. According to statistics, there was a 75% percent chance that you would survive treatment from a wound or illness if you seek treatment in a hospital. Though, there was a 98% chance that you live through a battle.

In document C, Dr. Albigence said ¨poor food - hard lodging - cold weather - fatigue - nasty clothes - nasty cookery - vomit half my time¨ in this quote Dr. Albigence said that the

In the most suitable cases, the soldiers had cabins, which were crude, small, and very unsturdy. In most instances, however, they got tents made out of canvas, which frequently ripped and did not help keep out cold in the dead winter. Because of this, many men got illnesses such as pneumonia, diarrhea, and dysentery. In fact, so many got sick that the hospitals were overflowing, even though each section had a hospital for itself. Some soldiers’ wives agreed to be nurses to help, but there were not enough medical supplies, so many died. Out of 12,000 men, 3,000 died and 2,000 left because they were sick.

The only difference now, is that I am old enough to be the one to listen to my mother and let her vent out to me as she has never talked about this to anyone. My mother explains that she got into a heated argument with my father on their way back from the local little market because she undeniably caught him looking at another women in a way that she felt uncomfortable. Obviously, my father being the macho man that he often portrays to be, does not care about how she feels in the slightest about the situation because to him, that is what a man does. A man can look at whomever he pleases. A man can go wherever he pleases. A man can do whatever he pleases. I am confused to feel a tear drop onto my leg as I had not noticed that I was already swimming in a beach of my own tears. My heart hurt to see my mother breaking down like that. By that time, it was already so late in the night that all my siblings were already tucked in bed and sleeping ever so peacefully. My mother and I were the only ones still up as she could not get herself to go to bed with the man who had just broken her heart again. I often did not want to get involved in my parents’ conflicts because I tend to advice my mother on what her options are, such as divorcing him, leaving him, and moving away, but she always goes back to my father because she states that she was raised to stay by her husband’s side no matter what. “… but I love him” she

For two more weeks I remained in the hospital. Three times every day a nurse brought me a tray with a meal and medication. She watched as I swallowed the tablets, but never as I ate the meal. Compared to a normal sized portion of food, what I was given in hospital would be considered small, but my stomach was far too used to rations beyond small. Most days I was able to eat almost half a plate of pasta before my stomach rebelled and decided to throw it all back up again.

Sickness in the ships spread rapidly due to the unsanitary environment servants were forced to stay in. Warm food was served

In 1929 the economy took a hit, and along came the beginning of the great depression. This crisis depleted much of the progress that St. Peter's hospital was trying to make. Some of the many hardships brought by the depression was a lack of funding and food supplies. Salary cuts hit hard in 1901-1911 in order to save what little money they had in order to buy food and supplies. According to Elizabeth Seaquist, the monthly salaries on average were downgraded from $55 to $35 a month. Along with the impending lack of money came the rationing of food. A quote from Elizabeth's book from an St. Peters Employee stated “Of potatoes we used this year, about 5 bushels a day less than the preceding year and for meat we used a little more than half as much. We have used flour sacks in lace of ticking very largely, and have made benches out of old lumber. We have cut out almost wholly the buying of such things as bed sheets and furniture.” Not only was there a cut on food, but there was also a budget cut on supplies as well such as wool blankets which raised from 2 dollars to 8 dollars within a couple of years. This intensive budget cutting and food rationing brought unneeded stress on the employees of St. Peter's hospital, and more importantly the already fragile

It was a few years ago, and I had gone grocery shopping with my mother. I’d always shop with her just so I could get out of the house, walk around, and pick out food that I wouldn’t have thought of for the grocery list. My mother was a conservative person. She had grown up on a farm in a small town where change would least occur. She was a spiteful person whose insecurities led her judgments. Despite her animosity to most things, she would tell me stories to inform me on matters she finds important, like how much money I should save for a car, or how she earned a high credit score. On our way home from the grocery store, she decided to tell me a story she heard from her coworker.

Feeding the American military has been a global challenge through the ages. As long as there are wars, there will be armies, and as long as there are armies, there must be food. The need to provide sustenance to our soldiers and troops hasn’t changed since the time of the Revolutionary War. Without the efforts to bring fuel to our troops, the military output would come to a grinding halt (Ryan, 144). During World War I, trench warfare began and hot food and drinking water were delivered to troops in milk cans carried on a pole by other soldiers making it the first time hot meals were served on the front line (“Food Distribution”). Demand for food technology to protect food from gas, spoilage, and dampness resulted in the reserve ration. The special reserve ration contained smaller tins of the same foods, sealed in metal containers to be opened only in the event that no other food was available (DoD Combat Feeding).
