Collapse-Personal Narrative Analysis

One brave doctor asked if he would look at my niece’s chart. He took a look and asked what she was still doing at that hospital. Without knowing it the hospital was giving her the wrong treatment and not enough trauma treatment. My niece was flown out of that hospital to what is now Banner University Hospital. A few hours later my niece had woken up and we could see that the treatment was already working (the iron lung) among other

I awake in terror, in sight of what just occurred: Blood on the seat in front of me. I look to my left and there is a large piece of metal plastered to the floor. My flight neighbor was not as lucky to have not been struck by the debris from the plane crash. I look up to spot the fighter jet that had shot us down; although I don't succeed, I can still hear the roar of its jets earlier that day. I explore the wreckage for any other survivors. My military training taught me not to panic, that would only lead to more problems. As I scour the plane I look for anything I can use. I find a chocolate bar, a bottle of whiskey, which had not been destroyed. I also find a sharp piece of shrapnel shaped like a knife, and I find a blanket. That's all I

Swish, tumble tumble, crash. I could just tell by the way I fell that something was wrong. Very wong. But I decided to just keep going even though it hurt. I was at the Jackson Hole ski mountain and was on the Rendezvous bowl with the Jackson Hole ski and snowboard team.

On one Friday afternoon in the summer of 2014, I was scheduled to report at the Population Management desk at Codman Square Health Center. I had finished tutoring some students and was on my way out of the library with a friend. I took the elevator with 2 other students from the 8th floor, which made the elevator feel a bit crowded. As we went downwards, the elevator doors lurched into each other. The elevator was malfunctioning at this point. A student pressed the Emergency Call button and the voice on the other end said "help is on the way". As minutes passed by, I noticed that my friend began to sweat profusely and being claustrophobic, he began to panic. I had never seen my friend in this condition and I was worried that he might pass out

I do this for the ones who sing in the shower instead of a stage. with the heart of a poet filled with

Failure is truly negative if we choose to not learn from it. When we face setbacks and difficulties, we are given golden opportunities to grow as people. Learning from our shortcomings makes us wiser, stronger, and unveils a chance to turn an undesirable outcome into a building block of character. My hockey career has been a sinusoidal trail of highs and lows, but I always learned from the downturns.

The call came, as it always seemed to be the case, minutes after crawling into my lofted dorm room bed. Without an available driver to the hospital that night I hopped on the bus giving me time to review my advocacy materials and imagine what kind of case awaited me. To my surprise, the patient was not being

One night I was riding in the car with my cousin to the store.While he’s driving to the store he was speeding down the road. While he was speeding down the road a deer jumped out into the road in front of the car. We tried to dodge the deer, but instead ended up hitting the deer and a ditch. We ended up flipping our whole car into the ditch with the deer. I somehow ended up in the back seat , because I was being stupid enough to ride with him and not wear a seatbelt. But anyways I went to the back seat and just broke his leg and hip. The wreck had my cousin unconscious, so I reached into my pocket and grabbed my phone to call my cousin’s mom. She quickly rushed to where we had the wreck. She pulled

My Grandmother’s 1994 Eagle Talon’s DNA was created inside the concrete walls of the Chrysler Headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Subsequently, it was transported as a blueprint to a manufacturing center in Belvidere, Illinois, then put together piece by piece in a large assembly plant. Finally, it was driven home by my grandmother, Connie. She thought the car was “high tech” due to its two cup holders, small cassette player, and a manually operated sun roof that could open at the touch of a button.

I wasn't expecting freshman year to go by as fast as it did, it all went by in a blur and if I could go back and redo it all over again, I would. Words can not describe how ashamed, and how deeply I regret jeopardizing my academic future. Before freshman year I had lived unexposed to the world in Amish county, Lancaster Pennsylvania, a small religious farmers town. When I graduated high school I had my life together; I was going to attend a great university, pursue a career in communications , and move to the city of my dreams.

Food is marvelous. It can be served in so many different ways: Fried, boiled, sauteed, steamed, grilled or even served cold. Food can be used for comfort or even communion amongst family and friends. As a child I ate everything that was placed in front of me, newer flavors meant a happier me.

Day six was here and we were waiting for the Doctors to make their rounds to us. They came in and told us they were going to hook a pacemaker up to Mason's heart and try to get it started back in rhythm. We waited for the procedure to get done and they said now we wait. At the end of the day they tried taking him off bypass again, nothing had changed. My heart was breaking more and more by the second. The Doctors said they would meet with us again in the morning. We had spent the night in a Ronald McDonald room in the hospital that night to try and get some rest and decent shower. On day seven, May 23, 2010, we headed up to Mason's room. The doctors were already in there and I could see smiles on the nurses and the Doctor's faces.

. Time is a standout amongst the most critical things at school and it is more imperative in your life. Time is a piece of your life not simply something will come to you and wrap up. Likewise, time resembles sword on the off chance that you don't utilize him in helpful things he will cut you. Close to, this sort of venture is to deal with your chance in valuable things at school and I think I have a ton of advantages from it. Likewise, I gained from this undertaking a considerable measure of things, for example, there are excessively down time, to numerous open doors for social life, and work more efficiently

My supervisor, one of the head nurses, hurriedly pulled me to the corner of the bleach white hospital room and directed me to put on gloves, an eye mask, and a face mask. I felt as if I was preparing for war as I put on all of the required gear. The sound of expensive shoes click-clacked down the hallway indicating the arrival of two doctors who rushed into the room and shouted out orders to the staff while pulling the doors to the room shut along with the curtains. Two doctors, eight nurses, an intern, and a dying patient squeezed into the already claustrophobic ten by fifteen-foot room. The machine monitoring the patient’s vital signs continued to beep incessantly as my heart rate accelerated. Throughout my internship, I had never seen a patient in critical condition until that moment. I remembered my teacher’s advice if we were ever in a situation such as this: take a few deep breaths and sit down if you feel like you’re going to pass out. In that

In spring 2004, a phone call from my mother changed my life. She told me in our native language, Aramaic, “the doctor dropped your godson Allen during the C-section.” The physician had committed malpractice, inflicting severe trauma to Allen’s neck during delivery causing spinal cord injury from vertebral levels C5 to T12. My family barely spoke English, and so I had to become my godson’s primary caregiver. Allen’s injury caused tetraplegia and impaired breathing, requiring him to have a tracheostomy. During the daytime I performed much of his tracheostomy care, which involved frequent suctioning of his secretions.
