It is demonstrated by the family tree diagram in the beginning of the novel. The author would not have put the diagram there, if family is not an important.

Love Medicine is a compelling story of love, power, and pride. Its’ collection of characters all tell there own story offering different opinions and views. This variety makes the story very interesting. The reader gets to know each character very personally because of all the different views. Many of the same events are described differently by each character, as expected. But this variance allows the reader to draw his own conclusions and affords the opportunity to know the personality of everyone. The story is quite confusing, however, with the tremendously large and connected families. It seems, to the reader, that everyone is somehow related.

It was 2 o’ clock in the morning. The whole ICU and adjacent corridor were eerily silent. The only noise to be heard was the beeping noise coming from the machines. I was sitting with a pharmacology book open in my lap and was trying to figure out how to best memorize the different types of beta receptors when I heard that voice.

I ran over toward the patient who looked at me with his pale yellow eyes, just barely for a second, and then his eyes started to roll upwards. I called the resident immediately who tried very hard to resuscitate the patient, but it was too late. That man fighting from Hepatitis C and liver cirrhosis had already succumbed to death.

Today clinical was another learning experience. I worked with a traveled nurse named Manu, he has been a nurse for 6 years now. For a guy he is very OCD about the rooms being cleaned and organized and I liked that, because the nurse that gave us report left the room upside down and I had to reorganise the rooms. He emphasis how much he dislikes when the room is not kept and when the family members are visiting they may compare the environment their love once/family member is in to the type of care that’s being rendered when they are not present, which is a valid point.

In the event that you are currently choosing what you need to accomplish for a profession after school, and you're supposing about possibly accomplishing something in brain research, then the occupation of a clinical therapist is presumably the one you are most acquainted with in this field.

It all began as an ordinary doctor’s visit, but then I heard the doctor throw around words like “abnormal increase in male hormones”. Suddenly, the room began to blur as I tried to hold back tears. “Wow I’m surprised you don’t have facial hair or a deep voice; you don’t show any of the signs” I immediately broke down crying as the doctor sat before me still charting away and asking the usual list of questions before dashing out the door. The second the door closed I could already feel my mom’s focus shift towards me and then I heard “What’s wro—” before she could finish I mustered out between sobs “She just said I’m a boy!”.

     Today more then ever alternative medicine is becoming more accepted and widely used as regular medicine. Alternative medicine is considered the use of any medicine out of the normal of what is considered conventional. “Alternative medicine was once considered the domain of snake oil charlatans and gullible consumers”(Waltman, et al 1).
