The Movie Wit

People don’t visit the people who are dying because it is seen as if it is a good thing for society, the hospital has a lot of technology but they don't use t because for them it's like they're dead already. The group of children at the hospital is to be conditioned that people dying is a good thing for their society. The nurse is concerned that if children continue to watching him then they will have have to restart the process of the conditioning and it will make them think that people matter more than others and that dying is

It’s the nurse's duty to advocate for her patient and to make sure that the patient understands and ask questions if necessary.

In a particularly morbid display of irony, Huyler, an emergency room physician who has pledged to serve the health of humanity, wishes his comatose patient was dead. In “A Difference of Opinion,” Huyler is treating a patient who has been in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for over a month and showed little sign of improving. Due to the

Vivian Bearing did not show a lot of kindness or compassion to her own students as she did not think that it was important. Now as her death is approaching she comes to realize that is what she has been missing. Her nurse Susie patiently explains the treatment plan to Vivian in terms that she can understand; including the DNR (do not resuscitate) and that it was her decision, Susie allowed Vivian some control over her life by giving her this choice while she fought for her dignity. As her nurse strives to provide her with compassion and empathy this is important to Vivian in her final days as compassion is connected to our human spirit; as she was approaching death (Frost, 1999, p127). Patients often experience quicker healing rates when they receive compassion as opposed to those who do not (Dossey, 2007). Susie told Vivian when she was semi conscious that they were putting a catheter in; even though Doctor Jason said :why are you bothering?” Some people, such as nurse Susie, will go out of their way to make others comfortable and put the patients need before there own, we just have to be mindful of emotional burnout if our own needs are not being met (Brehony, 1999, p

The episode when Susan explains the procedure to sedated with morphine sleeping Vivien and the doctor in residence scoffs at her and Susan answers that she knows that the patient doesn’t hear her but it makes her feel good that she performs her care proper is the great example of true nursing identity. It also shines at the moment when the nurse counseling her patient on the end-of-life issue empowering her with knowledge (although, shouldn’t the doctor Kelekian do it?). There is no surprise that Vivien wants Susan to be around when she will be facing death so her heart will be left to stop. After eight months of medical humiliation, it’s Susan who makes the dying professor of 17th-century English poetry to feel like a human being and laughs together at the “soporific” joke.

The nurses did not act as sentries towards the patient or the family. They did not protect the patient’s choice to die in peace, instead they just let the doctor jump in into the situation and try to resuscitate her even though she did not want that.The nurses should have stepped in and asked the frazzled husband what he wants the nurses and doctor to do. Not let the doctor yell at him until he is forced to allow it.

She goes through rigorous treatments that most patients couldn’t possibly survive. However, Dr. Kelekian and Dr. Posner believe she will be the first to fully accept the treatments because she is so “strong.” She agrees with this in the beginning, feeling she is not like other patients and she will be able to handle it. Vivian refuses to quit. She is a tough, stubborn woman who upholds herself to a level of strength and perfection that others cannot possibly accomplish. As the story continues, it becomes evident that she cannot uphold this ideal. The treatments severely affect her, leaving her miserable. It is when she shows a more vulnerable side to Susie, choosing to not be resuscitated if her heart stops, and then asking her, “You’re still going to take care of me, aren’t you?” that she suddenly becomes a more relatable character; bringing the audience to feel sorry for her

Although Vivian has used her intellect and her dry wit as a shield to carry her through life, these are of little value in the face of death. She sees her reliance to concepts and her apathy to others mirrored in the actions of Jason Posher an ambitious clinical fellow working under Dr. Kelekian. He comes in and out of the movie and seems to treat Vivian as “un-human.” Throughout the whole movie he asks her “how are you feeling today Vivian,” but the way he says it is so unfeeling and cold. At the end of the movie when she is actually dead he asks, it just shows how much doctors really do not have any attachment what so ever to patients in today’s medical model.

The patients take advantage of their situation in ways that they never thought possible before. What is so significant is that the ward has been trying so hard to keep the patients as weak and feeble as possible, giving the impression that they are the lowest in the human societal network, and yet they are able to find strength and courage just by embracing their true identities.

There you go again using your critical thinking to save the life of this patient from harm. We as nurses are guided by the hypocritic oath, therefore, we should engage in activities that promote the health and well-being of our patients. We must also advocate for the safety of our patients as well. You have indeed saved this patient

Hospitals see death, arguably, more than anywhere else. Scrubs explores this reality and how employees mentally deal with dying. In the world of doctors and nurses, taking care of the sick and dying is an every day task. It can be an emotionally overwhelming job, but it teaches the inevitability of death as a part of life. In this show, J.D. experiences death within his first days of his job as a resident. His patient refuses to get dialysis, stating that she is nearing the end of her life, and trying to save her life at this point is futile. That same day, the patients of Turk and Elliot, J.D.’s friends, die as well. Unlike J.D., they had tried to save their patients who ended up dying anyway. This teaches them all an important lesson that day: death surrounds them inside and outside the hospital. Unlike people who do not work in hospitals, the three doctors would have to get used to seeing

Her kindness and nurturing characteristics are exactly what Vivian needs near the end of her life. The traits that the nurse posses influences Vivian to make a decision whether she wants the medical team to try to revive her, if her heart is to stop beating. “... The doctors like to save lives…” implying that they are not always worried about the quality of life the patient will have, but the life preserving measures. When Susie allows Vivian to make the decision that will determine her fate, it is seen as an act of kindness.

In conclusion, Person introduces two conflicting opinions of the main message, medical ethics. However, there is a bias towards Jenna’s initial view, and the opinions of Lily and Alleys. Overall, the author uses this book as a way of showing us the ever-more relevant debate of medical ethics, but wants us to make our own decision of what view to

The video was shocking because, regardless my passion for becoming a nurse, I never thought about this moment. All I know so far the relationship between a doctor or a nurse and his or her patient is based on a set of ethics, including trust, honesty, reliability, confidentiality, honesty. Before I thought if a patient dies this because of a nurse, but now I learned there are advantages and disadvantages of reflection in nursing and education. Also the clearness in the exchange of information, and medical assets the patient is so important. I think the most of the crisis when I will become a nurse is getting used for a patient as if he or she became a member of your family, and suddenly I lose him or her less than a moment. This video made

New York, New York; Paris, France; and the imagination of writer are all places where the movie The Words take place. You struggle to define what is fiction and what is fact as the movie cuts back and forth from Rory Jansen(Bradley Cooper) and Clay Hammond(Dennis Quaid) who are both writers in the Big Apple. Rory is just a small time writer who's still trying to find his vernacular while on the contrary Clay is being recognized at a public reading for his new book The Words.
