Ms. Catcher Case Study

I have integrated various holistic practices into my treatment plans including acupuncture, yoga, massage, meditation and prayer. I also discuss and recommend the importance of balance in our lives, which is a major philosophy of Ayurvedic Medicine, “balance between body, mind and spirit” (What is the philosophy, n.d.). I stress how healthy choices regarding diet, exercise and relationships can impact a patient’s physical, emotional and spiritual balance in their life.

History of Present Illness: Mr. Olson is a very pleasant 57-year-old gentleman with multiple medical problems to include severe COPD, who is here today for an initial consultation for his shortness of breath.

Mr. Olson states he has had ongoing dyspnea on exertion over the last two years. He complains of minimal cough. He does note some sinus problems for which he is on Flovent. In the past, he has had pulmonary function testing that did demonstrate reversible airflow obstruction, therefore he likely has some component of asthma overlay.

In J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, Holden seeks out Mr. Antolini due to his similarity to D.B., but soon discovers that Mr. Antolini is just like the other adults in his life, thereby reaffirming his cynicism towards adults. The distraught Holden seeks a solace from Mr. Antonili due to the preconceived notion that Mr. Antolini’s opinions would parallel his own, only to be completely mistaken. Moreover, the interaction between Holden and Mr. Antolini is similar to that of Mr. Spencer and Holden’s interaction, showing that Mr. Antolini is just like the other adults in his life. In this notion, one can observe why Holden tries to prevent his loved ones from growing up.

Auscultation: I would be in a quiet room so that I hear the sound of the heart, lung, and bowl movement clearly with my stethoscope. I would first expose the area then I would use the diaphragm part of the stethoscope. I would put the diaphragm part of the stethoscope hear the high pitch sound of the right 2nd interspace, left 2nd interspace, left down sternum, and apex of the heart. Then I would put the bell part of the stethoscope lightly on the skin to hear the low pitch sound of the mitral and tricuspid

Acupuncture is gaining popularity as numerous claims are being made to its validity and effectiveness. Although many studies and experiments regarding acupuncture have been done, the scientific basis of the principles of this alternative approach still remains unclear (http://www.health.org/pubs/acu-nih.htm).

She rapidly swiped her jagged edged bitten fingernails across the small upraised mound of skin where the needle had pricked her so that she might enjoy a few moments of relief from the insatiable itch. Her need to scratch made the underside of her wrist red and raw with hints of blood slowly creeping up to the surface of her skin. Thea couldn’t help but vex the creator of such a needle. How she would have loved to take that needle and prick its inventor a few times in the sake of revenge.

(2014), “16% to 63% of North American cancer patients are reported to commonly use acupuncture, hypnosis, and spiritualism, as well as vitamin therapies and botanicals.” (p. 2). The Chinese have already used acupuncture in their everyday treatments for many decades stated Hubner in his article (p. 345). He also stated that acupuncture was found to reduce the acute vomiting but not acute or delayed nausea. Liao found that acupuncture treatments responded best to “pain, gastrointestinal side effects, hot flushes, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.” (p. 7). Similarly, Liao also found that acupuncture treatments would reduce the severity of acute and delayed vomiting (Liao, Apaya, & Shyur, p.

Before they were iphones, ipods, DS or PSP for children to play with there was cootie catchers also known as Paper Fortune Teller. It is a traditional playground toy origami performed by usually kids before the advancement of technology spread to today's day and age. Cootie Catcher was originally used as a container that could hold and pour salt also known as salt cellar. The points of a cootie catcher become legs and the spaces for fingers open up to hold the salt. We as a society have become too dependent on technology as a result we have forgotten our childhoods. Today is the day we get it back.

Acupuncture is the science of healing with needles through energy channels; it has a rich history and is now used around the world. The real question is, is acupuncture effective? How can we simply prove that sticking needles into a person’s body is actually taking away their pain or disease? How do we go from believing completely in Western Medicine to believing in Eastern Medicine? Although acupuncture is an Eastern form of healing, it has gained much credibility and respect in the West.
