Personal Narrative: What Makes The Human Body Ill

A deadly virus has spread through out my whole school and I’m the only survivor , I need a plan to escape. Most of the students and teachers left their laptops and phones here, my plan was to get every electronic device and play a certain song out load on every device. This will attract the zombies and I will be able to escape through the window. Once I jumped out I ran to my car and started the engine. My plan is to go to Walmart and then travel to Dicks sporting good for weapons every week. The top five things I’ll bring with me to say alive is food, water, weapons, health supplies, and people. If you want to survive a zombie apocalypse you have to be able to work with other survivors. I’ll hide in high ground due to the fact that I’ll have

The Chronic Illness I fight for my health every day in ways most people do not understand I lay in bed struggling just to get up in the morning only to get faced with a new day of troubles. All I think about is the day that being a normal eighteen year old ended for me. I was responsible went to work every day, and was trying to figure out my first year of college until everything was flipped upside down.

Manipulating Pairs Looking through the dusty back window of the 1998 Volkswagen we were in, I sat and watched the colony disappear from view as the dark night began to swallow it whole. I had wanted to leave for forever, but there was always a firm grasp which kept me there, my family. A single tear slips from my eye, rolls down my wind-burnt cheek, and clings tightly to my chin before its final descent into the open air. As a child, I too clung tightly to familiarity, but now, with my future at stake, it's time to flee, to leave behind everything, and embrace the rush of the unknown. I reach my hand across the center console and rest it on the back of Ethan’s soft hand. The warmth of his love momentarily fills the lull in my heart where my

I ignore the slight pained grunt of the patient as I handle his wrist. I concentrate wrapping a bandage gently but firm enough to coddle the strain. He says he has no idea how he strained his wrist, but I had a pretty good idea what it could be. Pleasuring

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

Young or old, we have all once used homemade remedies to heal burns, get out stains, or relieve treacherous acne, but what if those silly tricks went a step further and cured critical illnesses? At the start of the American society, before the increased technological and medical advances, the ill did not have the convenient access to a drugstore located on almost every corner to pick up Tylenol or Nyquil; they lived a holistic lifestyle. By having this, “holistic approach to life, equilibrium of the mind, body, and the environment, and an emphasis on health rather than on disease,” (United States) ancient society focused on their bodies rather than the illness they possessed. People in current society should begin to shift into the use of natural

Diagnosis Unknown When you hear the quote-"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get" from the movie Forest Gump, it may not mean much to you, but it holds true to what my life has been thus far. I was just a sixth-grade student waiting for my dad to pick me up for a routine appointment, when suddenly, we got some news that would change my life forever.

My earliest childhood memory supporting my passion for medicine took place in a science camp when I was in 3rd grade. The instructor had us stand back as she lifted a heavy bucket onto the picnic table. The sensation of my nose burning was new to me. Out of the formaldehyde, she ladled 6 sheep eyeballs for dissection. To this day, I see the marbled blue jelly of the vitreous

“If you look for the light you will often find it, but if you look for the dark. That is all you will ever see.”- Uncle Iroh from Avatar the Last Airbender. I am a dragon that spreads fire throughout the world, leaves scars on family, and has always tried to be stopped. What am I? I’m disease.Flowers with cards. IV’s in a tangled ball. Crayon drawings of horses. Worksheets that aren’t completed. 1st grade was to hard for them.They thought, was this normal for any normal family starting to move into a new town? Breath, sleep, awake, and repeat. MRI’s and surgeries take a toll on your health. Speak friend and enter. When a normal family like this one discovers a horrid conflict within their own family everything goes dark. The television seems

I'm a big (really small) bad bacteria that was passed to Amber during her very first time with her fiance Spencer. Can’t you believe it? I was given to her during her first time! See it can happen people. Spencer gave me to her while they had unprotected sex and she thought he was completely clear of STI’s, like me. Only if she asked him to get an STI Test, that I would not have been spread, but lucky me I get to know the ins and outs of my host. When I was first introduced to her, she obviously did not see me or feel we building my new home. I built my home around her genitals and inside her reproductive system. For a couple weeks I made myself at home in her body getting used to my surroundings and during the time Amber continued her ‘unchanged’ life. When I realized I had been slacking off and not

This really spoke to me as Caden's team took their first loss of the season. These kids have played their hearts out these last 11 games and I couldn't be more proud of Caden. I reminded him that losing is part of life and as they take the field again on Friday to hold his head high, play hard, and just enjoy himself because in the end I just want him to love the game, the friendships, and have fun because it's just a game and were always proud of him.

“Sam,” said Henry, the mayor. “We need you to find the mythical harp of healing.” I sat in the chair, wondering why he needed me of all the healthy people remaining in this town, to get the harp, but i wasn't phased. “I will,” I declared. “I will rid this town

Your body is extremely smart and is designed to heal and restore itself but sometimes it needs aid from the outside or it needs something to stop coming from the outside. Suffering from acne I often ignored many of the signs that my body was sending to alert me that

This story doesn't end like every other story does, this story's has a terrible ending and everyone dies, the world has finally fallen apart everywhere you go people are no longer living, nobody falls in love in this story! Everywhere you go you're being chased by different creatures and people that want to eat your flesh. Okay I think it is about time to start the story finally. It all started off when everyone started to get sick and people started dying off they were being called the kreeps , it started off with my mom she was too far off to be able to help her we took her to the hospital when she started getting “better” that is when we brought her home and then it got worse for her she was always vomiting, and then dad took her to the
