he AIDS hospice reeked from disease and neglect. On my first day there, after an hour of "training," I met Paul, a tall, emaciated, forty-year-old AIDS victim who was recovering from a stroke that had severely affected his speech. I took him to General Hospital for a long-overdue appointment. It had been weeks since he had been outside. After waiting for two and a half hours, he was called in and then needed to wait another two hours for his prescription. Hungry, I suggested we go and get some lunch. At first Paul resisted; he didn’t want to accept the lunch offer. Estranged from his family and seemingly ignored by his friends, he wasn’t used to anyone being kind to him — even though I was only talking about a Big Mac. When it arrived, Paul took his first bite. Suddenly, his face lit up with the biggest, most radiant smile. He was on top of the world because somebody bought him a hamburger. Amazing. So little bought so much. While elated that I had literally made Paul’s day, the neglect and emotional isolation from which he suffered disgusted me. This was a harsh side of medicine I had not seen before. Right then and there, I wondered, "Do I really want to go into medicine?"

When reading this book at the beginning, one may have thought of it as a story about the collision of two cultures - a story about Lia Lee, Foua Yang and Nao Kao Lee, Neil Ernst and Peggy Philp, and Jeanine Hilt-rather than Lia Lee's story. The lives of Lia Lee, Foua Yang and Nao Kao Lee, Neil Ernst and Peggy Philp, and Jeanine Hilt were interrelated. In addition, the influences of one and another's behavior had impacted the overall well-being of Lia Lee. The mutual roles of caregiver parents and caregiver doctors had to keep adjusting their roles to accommodate changing care needs. For example, the Lees believed in a little medicine and a little neeb for treating Lia's epilepsy, under the circumstance, their beliefs impact Lia's illness when they brought Lia to MCMC for treatment, while, practiced traditional healing to call back her soul.

By showing the audience a young girl barely a year old, telling them she was not going to be able to hear, and playing somber music in the background, it dements the viewers in a spirit and builds saddest for the family while aggravation against healthcare companies. These emotions were developed once more when Dawnelle Keyes was introduced. Her eighteenth-month old daughter, Mychelle, had a seizure and could not be treated at the nearest hospital, Martin Luther King, because Kaiser—her HMO—would not cover the tests and antibiotics to treat her daughter at the MLK hospital. When Keyes got to Kaiser, the doctors tried to revive her daughter after she went into cardic arrest. “And the doctors came in and let us know that she had expired.

Reading this book has been interesting and heartbreaking experience. A Year of Magical Thinking, a journey through the grieving process. While dealing with the death of her husband, she is confronted with the sickness of her only child. This book touches me, and it makes me think of what would happen if my loved one died. This paper is a reflection of my thoughts and feelings about this woman’s journey that has been explored by book and video. I will also explore the author’s adjustment process, and how she views her changed self.

There I sat and forgot why I made my long trip” (Welty 424). Without the setting of the doctor’s office and the nurse, Jackson’s loss of memory of such an important matter as the medicine needed for her ill grandson would not have been described. It reveals that she is not fully mentally balanced.

In the waiting room of the Intensive Care Unit of Miami Children’s Hospital Abby Berenger’s doctor was talking to her father, had been perhaps for some time, but Lavelle Berenger heard him only distantly, distorted by an odd echo effect in his mind. It was like being trapped in a very deep well and hearing someone call down. His mind had gone midnight dark, and the darkness served as the background for a kind of scrapbook slide show. An old snapshot of Abby smiling bashfully for her mother, the photographer, while showcasing a painting she gave to her dad on Father’s Day. Pink-ribboned pigtails hung from both sides of her head. A freeze-frame of mom and three-year-old daughter standing on the beach in cut-off jean shorts, smiling brown faces glistening with sweat, looking at the water.

Charles Dowdy and Danielle Simko's young son ended up surviving a non-fatal overdose, a far cry from what was being told to the dispatcher during the 911 call.

Another equally strong point that the author makes in the article is when she appeals to emotions in the first paragraph. “Little Charlotte lay on a high white bed, surrounded by nurses and doctors pushing drugs into her veins, tubes into her trachea and needles into her heart, trying as hard as they could to take over for her failing body and brain.” (Mitchell, 2000, pg. 503).
