Lobotomy Research Paper

“I reread my paper on the ‘Algernon-Gordon Effect’ and I get the strange feeling it was written by someone else. There are parts even I do not understand” (337). Charlie becomes upset, as his own piece of work he was so proud of, cannot even be understood by the man who had made it; that being himself. Charlie knew he could not read it, which made him understand more about the operation and what it had done to him. The loss in his intelligence also removed some important memories. Charlie went for a walk one night to clear his head, bur as he started to walk back, he could not remember where he lived! Because Charlie could not remember, it caused a big jump in his deterioration, from forgetting grammar skills, to forgetting where he lived. Charlie starts to have mood swings when he could not do previous things that made him happy, like read. Charlie’s mood constantly switches between Neutral, to Angry, to Sad, and repeat. Charlie cannot grasp any one of those emotions to even save his own life, since they are running wild. All other factors mentioned indicate that before the operation, Charlie’s life was amazing.

Chest and abdominal wounds were nearly always fatal. Treatment of abdominal wounds often involved pushing in protruding organs and suturing the wound. Food was withheld because fecal material leaking from the intestines caused contamination. Opium was often administered to halt the action of the digestive system. Chest wounds were cleaned and the wound was sutured. Abdominal wounds were fatal in almost 90 percent of the cases reported by Union surgeons.

A Phlebotomist is performing Venepuncture on a patient when the patient has a Vasovagal Syncope. The Phlebotomist checks the ‘Vital Signs’ to determine the state of the patients’ health using a Sphygmanomometer, the readings are as follow; Blood pressure 98/55, Pulse 135, Respirations 30 and temperature 37.8.

Howard had a poor childhood. With him getting a lobotomy at age 12, and his parents not being very loving towards him, it makes sense for him to act out a little. He not

nd Goodness of God, a detailed narrative of Mary Rowlandson's eleven week captivity among Narragansett Indians, one cannot help but become aware of the presence of two distinct and alternating narrative voices throughout the body of the text. In fact, numerous scholars have taken pause to make note of this undeniable shift in voice within their critical reflections of Rowlandson's narrative. David Minter describes a "curious and double present-mindedness" that exists in the text, explaining that on one hand Rowlandson is attempting to use her experience as a lesson for those who walk a troubled path away from salvation, while on the other hand she is using the act of writing about her experience to mark her own place as one of the Elect declared

Rachel is a 32yo, G7 P3033, who is currently 18 weeks 1 day. She is dated by LMP. She was seen previously for a dating scan and declined aneuploidy screening. She has 3 prior full-term deliveries. She had preterm labor with her last pregnancy but ultimately delivered at term. While she has miscarriages, she does not have 3 in a row. She is here today for an anatomic survey.

Changes in the brain will be that some parts are not getting the blood supply which then leads to dead tissue causing a form of disability depending on the area of the brain affected.

Charlies doctors acted unethically when they asked if Charlie wanted to do the operation. The doctors didn’t ask Charlie these questions. "Has the patient been informed of benefits and risks, understood this information, and given consent? Is the patient mentally capable and legally competent, and is there evidence of incapacity? If mentally capable, what preferences about treatment is the patient stating? If incapacitated, has the patient expressed prior preferences? Who is the appropriate surrogate to make decisions for the incapacitated patient? Is the patient unwilling or unable to cooperate with medical treatment? If so, why?"(Siegler). The doctors just told Charlie that the operation will make him smarter. This was very unethical by the doctors who kind of took advantage of Charlie just for research.

The scientists performing the surgery were not acting ethically, however, and should not have used a human test subject. The scientists conducting the experiment were not acting in Charlie's best interests. Drs. Strauss and Nemur are more concerned with completing the operation and making new discoveries than with Charlie's health.

prefrontal lobotomy. (Freeman also renamed it “lobotomy.”) Freeman believed that an overload of emotions led to mental illness and “that cutting certain nerves in the brain could eliminate excess emotion and stabilize a personality,” As Freeman progressed he wanted to find a more efficient way to perform the procedure without drilling into a person’s skull like Moniz did. So, he created the 10-minute Trans -orbital lobotomy (known as the “icepick” lobotomy) .The initial reports of this new procedure were impressive and lobotomy continued to gain momentum until about 40,000 lobotomies were performed in the United States. This was an alarmingly high number of patients that had part of their brains dissected, to ease symptoms such as chronic anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and

Emotional Cut- Graphically showed a lobotomy while a woman speaks about regretting having the lobotomy. Emphasizes how much pain many of the patients went through. Also triggered anger, repulsion in the audience.

Phlebotomy is the career of my choice, which I will be pursuing. I have always loved nursing, but once we got into the phlebotomy program aspect in my Certified Nursing Assistant Program here at Preston I fell in love and realized that’s all I want to do. It is so satisfying when you get your “first stick”; you are actually able to withdraw blood from an arm. I soon realized drawing blood from a human arm is so much easier than a dummy arm. This career is one of the most jobs in demand.

He believed that veins contained blood and arteries held air; fearing the possibility of transferring air to the veins as a result of venesection would ultimately be committing murder. Phlebotomy began as a dangerous method of treatment in an attempt to understand the human body and to help the sick.

The debate around gun control in the United States has been growing, and for good reason. Recent tragedies involving gun violence highlight even more the need for changes in the current gun laws. There needs to be two key changes, and they can be even considered updates, that need to be enforced federally. It’s not time to start pulling guns away or limit the purchasing, but rather create better tools for the current system to do its job. The first change that needs to be implemented is federally mandated background checks that are consistent across all states. The other is having sufficient waiting periods in place before being allowed to purchase guns. Overall, federally mandated background checks and waiting periods across all states are the best ways to restrain gun violence and reduce gun homicides in the U.S. because they would prevent guns from being placed in the hands of criminals or mentally ill people, while also preventing gun-wanting people during momentary lapses of judgment to purchases firearms.

First Step is to graduate from a surgical technology program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). Most of these programs take one to two years to complete. They combine classroom instruction in subjects such as anatomy, pharmacology and medical terminology with hands-on training in clinical settings.
