Personal Narrative: My Diagnostic Impressions

Seeing the dried up yellowed skeletons of the dead can entail many a story, from the skull of Phineas Gage with its life changing hole in it to seeing the battle hardened brittle bones of warriors of past worlds, but it is a depressing sight the see the pain in the physically deformed skeletons of those who only had the help of herbs and what would now be deemed the monstrous act of bloodletting, and other ill performed helps of our ancestors. This is exactly where my imagination ran as I gazed at the terrifying images of scoliosis. It was quite bizarre and frightening to think that I had this disease that could make what would make a twenty something year old mother of the past look like a hundred year old cripple. Not

The second day of my practice I felt that I had made some progress towards my goals of improving my time management and getting my documenting done earlier and providing relevant healing initiatives for my client.

Of course the norm for me is that of any citizen living in zone three.

I had such a great day at clinical yesterday. I was finally able to see a vaginal delivery and that entire process. When I arrived in the morning, the mom had just received Cytotec, to help induce labor and ripen her cervix. She was forty-one weeks and zero. Around ten thirty in the morning, she asked for her epidural to manage her pain. We bolused her with fifteen hundred milliliters of lactated ringers to prevent hypotension. Shane was the certified registered nurse anesthesiologist (CRNA) who administered the epidural. It was very cool watching him administer all the needed pain relief medication before he administered the epidural to make sure that it would be placed in the epidural space in the spine. Then administered a small test dose, waited till a few blood pressures were taken, then administered the remaining about through an epidural pump. After the epidural was administered, I was able to administer her foley catheter. I was so happy that I was finally able to place one. I learned a few tricks from Maura (my nurse) as well. She taught me that it was easier to take the top off of the lubricant syringe and to place the tip of the foley inside of the syringe, that way it will not wiggle around and become unsterile. She also taught me to grab from the bottom of the labia and pull up, that way it ensures that I will have a clear entrance to

“Casey, your group needs to do the stunt one more time!” coach said imprudently. It happened March 26, 2015; it was at the end of a two hour practice. During the summer months in South Georgia, it is utterly hot and humid, especially in our cheer gym (a warehouse with no air conditioner); it only has two heavy-duty fans and a roll-up door. With this in mind, my group became slightly irritated. Everyone was exhausted; nevertheless we still had to do the stunt anyway.

The patient had symptoms that met the criteria for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, predominantly inactive type and learning disability as evidenced by, Poor grade in school due to his inability to focus and concentrate on a single event (DSM-5, 2013). His mother reported poor social cues and socializing skills as well as difficulty remembering instructions. He is not arrogant or hyper active, but slow to learn. He has poor fine motor skills as he has difficulties cutting a straight line with scissors. His handwriting was reported to be very poor and difficult to understand (DSM-5, 2013). Assessing for ADHD in children this young and withdrawn requires in-depth evaluation of the patient and family members.

Have you ever gotten so furious before you felt like nothing mattered? They just kept on doing something to you and you just kept on getting mad.Then someone tried to talk to you and you just weren't in the mood to be talked to or bothered . You reacted in a horrible way by hitting and yelling. Well that's exactly what I'm writing to tell you about. How my anger got a hold of me and would not let me go. How I wanted waffles but my mom gave me something else instead.

Growing up my family bought lot of movies. We have at least five totes full of movies that we don't watch anymore. As a kid I never liked scary movies. The first one I watched gave me nightmares for weeks and I decided I was not going to watch them ever again. After that I started to get into comedy and kid movies.

My career was finally looking up, I was working as a senior accountant with multiple multi-million accounts, full-cycle, I finally finished my Bachelor’s degree. I even purchased my first home and bought a new car! Then, it happened, I found out I was going to be a mom. I was excited, and terrified at the same time, I even took parenting classes! I had no idea how to do the formula thing and diapers? Yeah… ok.

My initial perceptions about the students of St. Angela were very stereotypical. Honestly, I expected those students to come from single parent backgrounds and come from a low income household. I expected to deal with students who live life in a survival type of manner. What I mean by survival type of manner is for one to be on defense seeing the type of the children are from the Austin area. Walking in to St. Angela I expected to deal with kids that didn’t listen and know respect for authority. I expected this due to my upbringing in the same neighborhood.

Currently I am trying to get my certification for counseling, needing only a high school diploma and this certification I will be able to start on my path toward my career. First getting the certification will require me to contact the National Board for Certified Counselors. Once I have met their guidelines and receive the certification I will be able start researching careers that accept entry level certified counselors.

I was able to make connections between the clinical and the lectures. I was able to apply the knowledge I learned from lectures and our assigned textbooks, readings, and videos to clinical. Over the course of the semester, I became much more comfortable being on the floor at the psychiatric hospital. I was able to see the symptoms the patient presented with and make connections as to what their diagnosis was. as well as the as well as see the therapeutic effects of the medication they were taking. My clinical provided me with exposure to patients with borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, eating disorders, and bipolar disorder. I was nervous about clinical simply because I didn’t know much about mental

I remember taking the certification test to become an actual lifeguard after my first season of varsity swimming for Boston College High School, which ended in late February. The day of my first certification test in February was in the evening, when the moon was bright, but everything surrounding it was dark, and no matter how noisy street life was it was soon swallowed by silence of the cold winter. It wasn't an unusual silence, to me it was just another chilly February evening in Massachusetts, only this evening I would put what I’ve learned about lifeguarding through online courses and practice into action.

I do my best to attend junior doctor tutorials, case presentations, departmental meetings and grand round sessions. I am dedicated to gaining knowledge and so I have attended tutorials on my days off and would drive to other hospital sites, different to my primary site, just to participate in learning opportunities.
