Med Surg's Misconceptions

On this second clinical for med-surg, I felt a bit more comfortable being on the floor. Before starting this clinical I had set a goal for myself to perform well and complete my assessment as thorough as possible. For pre-assessment I was set on just choosing a patient and not being afraid on what kind of diagnosis they had or how many medications they were on. As I selected my patient, I noticed that he had many medications and had had an ST-elevation myocardial infarction. I didn’t want to scare myself off from selecting this patient and caring for him on clinical day.

Atul Gawande in his article “When the Doctor Makes Mistakes” exposes the mystery, uncertainty and fallibility of medicine in true stories that involve real patients. In a society where attorneys protect hospitals and physicians from zealous trials from clients following medical errors, doctors make mistakes is a testimony that Gawande a representative of other doctors speak openly about failures within the medical fields. In this article, Gawande exposes those errors with an intention of showing the entire society and specifically those within the medicine field that when errors are hidden, learning is squelched and those within the system are provided with an opportunity to continue committing the same errors. What you find when you critically analyse Gawande, “When Doctors Make Mistakes essay is how messy and uncertain medicine turns out to be. Throughout the entire article you experience the havoc within the medicine field as the inexperienced doctor misapplies a central line in a patient.

Also, this show is a very sexist show, they always make reference to women being in the kitchen and that is all they’re good at for example, in one episode peter tells Louis that making sandwiches and babies are the only thing she is good for. This kind of behaviour shows to young children that women are no good for anything because that is how the men on this show treat the women. There’s also lots of coarse language towards women, for example Quagmire a neighbours always has many women over to his house for pleasurable reasons and you hear him call them names like whores, bitches, sluts and more this foul language towards women is another bad influence. Also peter has a teenage daughter Meg, everyone in the show is mean to her. This girl is treated very badly for example in an episode she had sexual intercourse with a guy and a little after that the guy Brandon, broke up with her, in another episode she has another boyfriend Luke and Louis, her mother stole

1. Adam Smith, 77 years of age, is a male patient who was admitted from a nursing home

Created by openly gay creators Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige who wanted to write a drama that reflected the "modern American family", alongside Jennifer Lopez's who served as executive producer , who was inspired by her late gay Aunt who had faced discrimination due to her sexual orientation and was unable to have a family of her own.

The show that I decided to watch and analyze about the elderly was Everybody Loves Raymond. I choose Everybody Loves Raymond because it is very relatable and understanding. The show is based on an Italian family living in Long Island New York dealing with everyday life situations. the main character Raymond must deal with his everyday life while dealing with his elderly parents who live right across the street as well. today we see that there are many stereotypes when it comes to the elderly, stereotypes such as the elderly can’t remember things, they’re nosey, or that they know it all. In the show, we see that Raymond’s parents do fall into some of these stereotypes, but also, they do things that make us think that not all elderly people fall into these known stereotypes. We are so accustomed to leaving the elderly in places such as nursing homes whenever we feel like we have no need to take care of them anymore, or if they can’t seem to do things on their own. Raymond’s parents Marie and Frank are still able to do things on their own they still joke around and make fun of their kids. Even after retirement, and helping Raymond raise his kids, they still have Rob who lives with them. Even though their kids essentially make fun of their age, Marie and Frank somehow make the best out of situations.

The setting of the school is what most Americans wanted to see or at least expected to see. All white children, with a white female teacher and a white female school principal. I was a little surprised with the female principal, I was expecting a male authority figure, I guess they were trying. Well, you can watch the episode online and see for yourself how all the sitcom hi-jinx plays out. It was a cute episode and had a couple of chuckles.

Research has demonstrated that blacks are substantially less liable to report confide in their doctors and clinics; along these lines, are more averse to look for treatment or be consistent with suggested treatment plans.The restorative group should think about this aggregate feeling of dark doubt in medication, as it is a main consideration in the very much archived wellbeing variations amongst blacks and whites.In many cases, when blacks have an indistinguishable ailments from their white partners, blacks are significantly more likely kicked the bucket sooner. For example, blacks are three times more inclined to kick the bucket of asthma

“Against Medical Advice” is a book about a family who care for their son, Cory, who suffers from Tourette's Syndrome, Severe Anxiety Disorder, Depression and Seizures. Cory takes around fifty to sixty medications to treat him, and not one of which actually works. The only thing that helps him cope is alcohol. The story is told in the eyes of Cory which brings a unique form of storytelling to the table. It tells the story in the eyes of one who is mentally ill rather than a normal person we are all used to reading about. It is the hope of Cory and his parents to make his condition better so he can become sane again.

Although the series is animated sitcom, its intended audience is definitely adults, since the majority of the dark and crude humor is aimed in that direction. It is

This isn't just another family road trip comedy as I thought it would be. This was a dark and quirky comedy at its best. The script and acting was brilliant, the characters were unusual and the ending was eventful and unpredictable. The grandpa said a lot of things that were probably inappropriate for younger watchers, and he used drugs, but they he ended up dying, which is a positive anti-drug message. Overall a beautiful movie, but parents need to be careful about showing even the edited version for

Local parents are protesting for their child’s ability to ‘Opt Out’ of end-of-course exams in hopes to restore the joy in learning, and take the pressure off of students’ shoulders.

First of all, I disagree with doctor Harlow because it says how Dr. Harlow had offered Phineas $1,000 for some pebbles that phineas had collected.’’Yet there is something odd about the “recovered” Phineas. Just before he leaves Cavendish, Dr. Harlow gives Phineas a little test. The doctor offers Phineas $1,000 for the pocketful of pebbles that Phineas has collected walking along the Black River near town. Dr. Harlow knows that Phineas can add and subtract, yet Phineas angrily refuses the deal. Dr. Harlow tells himself that a man who was so badly hurt is going to need time to regain his full powers’’. As you can see phineas has not recovered from his injury.
