My Kansas City Experience

My legs are shaking with pain, but I need to know where I am and what strange things lie outside of that door way. Slowly I am making my way there, I hear people having a conversation just outside. I haven’t a clue what they are saying, it seems to be in some odd language. Finally I’m at the door. Terrified, I grab the knob and start to open it. It squeaks when I swing it open. In the hall I see no one, just white walls with white tile. “What the,” I say to out loud. I could have sworn I heard someone. My eye catches my room number, 387, it has my name on it. I look right and left, but see nothing expect florescent lighting and shut doors. I go to the door across from mine and try to open it. Locked, that’s odd. I try the next one, locked once again. I keep going, now at room 365 I give the knob a turn and it actually comes open. I hesitantly wander into the area. It looks the same as mine, minus the painting on one of the walls. It is an extremely abnormal painting. It depicts an out of the ordinary creature. “Why would this be in a hospital?” I whisper to myself.

When we had first arrived at the church, I found it was in an odd location. The building connects with a Crossfit gym, that is between two other buildings. As we entered an old man held the door for the three of us and welcomed us. We walked in, having two other gentlemen welcoming us and referring to us as ladies. The room was a lot smaller than I had expected. There was around twenty people at the meeting. We sat in the fifth or sixth row. The front of the room is where the pulpit stood, which is where the pastor taught. There was also a table with the word “Remember” engraved in it. On the table sat two plates for money donations. I looked around the room and noticed all the posters on the walls. Many of them reference the crucifixion of Christ, with a scripture on it. The room had fake plants everywhere! They were on the ground, hanging on the walls, etc. It was to invite spring into the

According to one cancer patient who was about to undergo bowel surgery, Kuteh told him that he would have a higher chance of survival if he prayed to God. Another patient described the Christian nurse’s religious passion as “bizarre.”

Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que is known for a wide of variety of quality smoked meats. The French fries are fresh, but order them unseasoned unless you want a lot of sodium and spice.

Religion and spirituality is a major essential part of one’s’ health. They have included things such as prayer in healing, counseling, and the use of meditation. Spiritual issues make a difference in an individual’s experience of illness and health. With spirituality, the health care providers can learn to support the values for the art of healing. The health care provider must have respect for their patient’s religion. (Larry Dossey. Healing Words: The Power of Prayer and the Practice of Medicine. Harper Collins, San Francisco. 1993.)

The Faith, Importance and influence, Community, and Address in Care (FICA) Spiritual History Tool provides a way for “the clinician to efficiently integrate open-ended questions into a standard medical history and can be used by any health care professional” (Borneman, Ferrell, & Puchalski, 2010). The FICA tool explores the presence of faith, the importance of spirituality, the influence a person’s spirituality has on their health care decisions, the involvement in a spiritual community, and the interventions to address spiritual needs (Borneman et al., 2010).

I waited till exactly 12:00 to get out of my car at St. John's. Shaking, I walked to the entrance. The huge double-doors welcomed me to the church. I had to rethink my decision if I was really going to go in there. I didn’t know who was in there or what they wanted. Still shaking, I slowly and steadily tipped toed inside. I popped off the ground like a cat when the double-doors slammed together making a violent ruckus. The only light that shined in the church was at the end of the long walkway. It was a note that

For health care providers to deliver the best holistic care that patients deserve, a thorough spiritual assessment must be included during their care. With more research showing a relationship between supporting a patient’s spirituality with their health and ability to cope with illness, it is now a requirement of organizations to include a spiritual assessment to maintain accreditation with The Joint Commission. The minimum required of a spiritual assessment by The Joint Commission is to determine the patient’s religion and

There have been growing cases of traumatic effects and responses in the United States. While most agree that this increasing incident deserves concrete attention, consensus dissolves around how to handle the difficulties of handling traumatic effects and responses. This research paper will discuss the traumatic effects and responses with its related difficulties and treatment options with the inclusion of biblical concepts and principles. From a medical perspective, trauma has affected the lives of millions of people from across the world whereby they suffer silently without the hope of getting effective treatment. However, spirituality and religion has changed the medical landscape in regards to trauma because traumatic patients can finally experience a fulfilling life without any fear of traumatic reminders crippling the quality of their lives. To explore the outcome of spirituality and religion, this research paper will explain in detail the benefits of patients engaging in religious teachings and spiritual rituals in boosting their inner being.

The spirituality in a healing hospital starts with the Chief Executive Officer and spirals downward toward management, and then the frontline employees. Healing hospitals must have a form of culture that serves the community. This includes the building, its contents, the CEO, the managers, and caregivers. This is what leads to the care that entails the spiritual mixture that takes into account a person’s whole body, which includes the mind and spirit.

Based on the aftereffects of a religious near death encounter, Cashwell and Young (2011) report the client senses a biological, psychological, social, and spiritual atmosphere. In regards to senses this spiritual atmosphere, the client begins to manifest changes that evolve around their spiritual awakening such as gaining a fascinating impulse to research the religious/spiritual philosophy and participate in the practices (Cashwell & Young, 2011, p. 107).

But the power of Christ compels me to remember a cold white room where I, wrapped in a cocoon of blankets, lying on a gurney surrounded by medical equipment, was nervously awaiting the anesthesiologist. I must admit I felt a wash of relief when a nun in plain clothes arrived to give the procedure God's blessing. After the surgery, I noticed a wooden crucifix on the wall of the recovery room. The crucifix had a little featureless brass Jesus that looked like a ghost from where I lay, and when the nurses injected me with the pain killers He would jump from His cross and fly around the room like a candle flame with a mind of its own.

It is Friday the 13, 2003 and it was a cold, rainy day at the Simpson Bell tower and I was investigating a scene where a girl supposedly committed suicide.There are legends that she is still restless looking to get revenge for all the people who ever caused her pain. My friends and I were just getting done trick or treating and we were all a little loco on sugar and we decided to play the Ouija board inside the bell tower and when we circled the planchette 3 dreadful times Sage asked the first question “Are there any spirits in this room?” After Sage asked the question the planchette flew across the room and hit Sage in the face. We all screamed in horror as we watched the planchette fly. As we all sat in complete silence we heard a high pitched scream and the bell started ringing uncontrollably and we couldn’t get it to stop. Terrified we all

We slowly crept up the steps, then I slightly touched the door knob. The door flung open and Avery screamed so loud I though she broke my eardrum. Justin poked his head in, but there was no one there. So, we slowly walked in and the door slammed shut behind us. I said, “Ok. There is definitely someone here.” There was a long hallway to the right, but there were boards missing, so we decided to go up the stairs. Justin went first, then Avery, then me. About half way up the stairs, Avery must have stepped on a weak step and it caved in. She fell and screamed, but luckly I caught ger. Justin and I pulled her back up and continued up the stairs. When we reached the top, there was a picture of someone and at the bottom it had 1993 engraved in it. We scaredly walked down the long, dark hallway that was to the right of the stairs, and entered the first room on the left. The room had a bed in it, a dresser and a mirror, but the bed had been spray painted orange. The room felt like there were ghost in it and I think there were. All of a sudden, I felt something touching me head. I turned around and screamed because there was a sheet flying back and forth through the air. I ran out of the room and Avery and Justin screamed and ran out behind me.
