Persuasive Speech About Surgery

Another way knee surgery changed my life is I can do sports. I wasn’t able to do sports because if I well or got bumped it could damage my knee even more. I can play basketball, football, volleyball and many more. I am planning on trying out for basketball this year and I’m really thrilled about it. Without being able to do sports then I wouldn’t really have anything to do. My friends would all be at their games or practices and I would be doing nothing. Now that I can do sports it’s really changing my life.

While in the hospital, mentally preparing myself for surgery, I had the opportunity to talk with the doctor who would be performing the operation. “Although getting to where I am today was quite the struggle, it was worth every second,” he briefly told me before rushing off. To this day I have a titanium plate and seven screws in my arm; however, I also have a new yearning to become an orthopedic surgeon like the one who had reconstructed my shoulder. After the surgery on my arm I was able to start physical therapy with one of the members of my ward.

I’ve have been through hardships and hard times, especially with sports. One of many injuries was when I was playing basketball during open gym. As I went up for a contested lay-up, I twisted my leg. Not knowing it was still planted, I chipped the tibia in my knee. Though it hurt, I was still was able to walk it off. My father and I went to the

There are a few pitchers who have to undergo Tommy John surgery. Most of the time after Tommy John surgery the pitcher is out for a year or two. “There is a growing belief, though, that recovery time isn't sufficient after many Tommy John procedures, thanks to an erroneous idea that crept into the sport in recent years that pitchers need only 10-18 months to come back from a UCL replacement, whereas accepted standard time to return from a Tommy John procedure in medical circles is 16-20 months.” Many pitchers come back before they are assigned. That is why they have so many arm injuries in the long run. "There are more guys going through this and it's better to err on the side of giving more time. Even with a first Tommy John, people expect a 100-percent success rate, and while the odds are very good, it's not 100 percent.” They come in expecting to able to be the way they were before the surgery. Pitchers need to slow down after they

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico.

I was thirteen, and I had just come home from a school softball game. My friend Dalton had invited my sister and I to come and swim at the neighborhood pond. My sister stayed home, but I got permission to go. After a while of swimming, Dalton looks at me claims that he’ll jump out of a tree near the bank if I jump out. Of course, I accepted my friend’s little dare and climbed into the tree, focusing on the seven-foot-deep drop-off off of the bank. Regrettably, I didn’t jump far enough. My right leg landed in the drop-off, but my left leg hit the clay, which caused all of my weight to shift to my left foot. I felt an immense pain in my ankle and started screaming while crawling over to the bank as Dalton ran to get my mom. After I finally made it to the emergency room, I found that I had broken my fibula at an upward slant, which caused the upper part of the bone to slam down into my ankle.I had completely blown out every ligament and tendon on the left side of my ankle. I had to have a plate and four screws implanted into my fibula along with the surgical repair of all of my ligaments and tendons. The entire ordeal left me extremely interested in the human body, and this interest was heightened when I had to get my appendix removed a few months later and again when I took Anatomy and

Post-surgery was the most difficult part of this journey because it put me in a depressed state. The inability of playing sports and watching my teammates play

First I explained my knee dislocation and operation. Then, in return, she told me about her brain tumor and numerous operations. Her storytelling skills were spontaneous. Although I expected her to be pitiful of her condition, her tone was lovely and she embraced her condition fully. I admired her for her bravery and the beauty of innocence within her character. When my therapist began to approach me, she surprised me with good news. I had, finally, received clearance to walk without crutches. Immediately, I began to walk, but within my first few steps, I began to cry. I was overwhelmed with joy that although my knee still had a torn ligament, I was satisfied with the performance it was doing. After completing a set of balancing exercises, I saw my new friend. She waved at me and in seconds, I felt guilty and embarrassed. Unlike my new friend, who embraced her special qualities, I hated mine. However, I realized that my depression and self-hate were unnecessary and immature. I admitted to myself that I had become desperate for an opportunity to escape my reality. That I wanted to deny the reality of my injury, and live in an imaginary

Naveen is 10 years old, as healthy as ever. But when he was diagnosed with diabetes, his mother was shocked out of her life. “But, how can my son at such a young age fall prey to it? Isn’t it a disease that grips the middle aged population?,” she echoed the misconceptions we all hold as a society. Diabetes can be diagnosed at any age, owing to heredity, lifestyle and habits we have. But, usually type 1 diabetes is known to be more frequent in children and adults, about which every parent needs to be aware about. The cases are on a rise day by day, and all of us should be informed well about how to tackle Type 1 Diabetes and track symptoms and fight the disease.

Waking up to a nurse and terrible pain on my right leg, I realized I just got out of surgery. Six months prior I was injured playing the sport that was once my life, soccer. I completely tore my Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), a ligament that holds the femur (the bone on top of the knee) and the tibia (a bone below the knee); it controls reasonable movements and prevents forward movements of the tibia. As a result, I received a traumatizing surgery in my knee causing my muscles to shut down. It felt as horrible as it sounds. As result of this terrible experience, I had to work with many physical therapists to recover from the surgery. At that time my soul was crushed, I have lost hope. It was my senior

When I was only 7 years old, my mom shared her plans of a life-changing surgery on her ankle she would undergo. Even though I was only 7, I had this overwhelming feeling she shouldn’t have it done. She reassured me of the 90% chance she would be able to run again and of all the people who have had this surgery. I still disagreed with her. Nothing could change the gut feeling I had.

Now that we’ve talked about the steps they’ll take for an awake brain surgery. We now have to know why you’ll need one in the first place. Mostly, awake surgeries depend on your situation, such as a tumor, brain concussion, seizures, etc. Doctors might even do x-rays or an MRI to find out what’s wrong and if it’s worth an awake craniotomy. But there are also times when you don’t think you need an awake surgery, but there’s no choice. “When trying to move a brain tumor that might affect the speech part of your brain. A sedated surgery is no option.” Dr. Emery Brown - who is a professor of Anesthesiology at Massachusetts General Hospital -
