The Shadow Doctors Summary

In the article The Doctor Won’t See You Now by James Gorman, the author achieves his purpose of ridiculing the unethical functions of doctors during the aids epidemic by utilizing sarcastic language, negatively connotated diction, and vague supplication of details in his arguments. For example, after Gorman depicts the prevalence of doctors’ preferences of not treating certain patients, he makes the remark “ Smart thinking”. This sarcastic remark, similar to others within the text, is used in order to exhibit the author’s obvious feeling of anger toward physicians who act unprofessionally. Furthermore, his selection of vocabulary, such as “ slob”, “stupid”, and “pig-like,” forms offensive generalizations of people intended to demonstrate how

Hello Frances, excellent thoughts on your initial post. I felt the same way too. I was nervous and overwhelmed when I started this course. I thought my assessment skills were thorough. However, with this course, I realized that I still have room for improvement. I agree it is essential to treat our patients holistically. Nurses must include the patient’s culture and values, family and social roles, self-care behaviors, job related stress, developmental tasks, and failures and frustration of life in their health assessments (Jarvis, 2012). Additionally, The Shadow Health assessment with Ms. Tina Jones was a great learning experience. With Ms. Tina Jones I achieved the course objective of communicating effectively, writing my documentations accurately,

One of the reasons are that there is a lot of sick people but but there is not a lot of dying people. 3,989/8,000 soldiers are sick. That means that half of these soldiers were sick. In DocA it says only 1,800 out of

The main theme of “Final Cut” by Atul Gawande is that medicine is an inexact science and doctors are not always sure of themselves, even if they appear confident. Gawande’s main argument is simply stated: there has been a decline in the amount of autopsies performed in the medical field as a result of medical arrogance; over confident doctors believe they know the cause of death and do not want to perform autopsies. Gawande illustrates his argument by outlining the history of autopsy use in medicine, incorporating medical cases that he has experienced as a surgeon, and including statistics on autopsy usage. “Final Cut” is an outstanding profile on the decline of autopsy use in medicine. What makes “Final Cut” an enjoyable and informative article for all readers is its use of strategies associated with fiction such as the establishment of characters, balance between medical information and personal experience, and its use of active voice.

For centuries, war has consumed millions of souls. It has caused heartache and has torn families apart. Today, properly educated doctors and nurses can treat wounds and injuries with proper care, but this taken for granted assistance wasn’t always readily available. In the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, nearly 30,000 American soldiers died. However, rather than being killed on the battlefield, the majority of soldiers died while being treated in medical tents. More often then not, the work of doctors and surgeons resulted in worsening the state of their patients, frequently causing their death. Medical practitioners did more damage than deed to soldiers during the American Revolution to the War of 1812 because of their little attention to individual patients, housing for patients, poor work ethics and habits, lack of knowledge and because major medical advancements weren’t achieved for another half-century.

In retaliation the military blocked off the hospital. Which meant that the hurt and dying were unable to get in and get help. They turned the hospital into a military prison. As it was seen as an anti-governmental hub. Doctors and nurses were raped, beaten, arrested, jailed and tortured. 20 doctors and nurses were sentenced for 15 years in jail.

Most hospitals took place in warehouses, churches, and barns. “They were divided into three sections, surgery, injury, and diseases”. (Battlefield Medicine) Common hospitals were located near the battlefield, so it would be convenient for the people that were injured. If it was a serious injury then they would be taken to a larger general hospital in bigger cities. The hallways in the hospitals were very narrow units with multiple windows. They included supplemental ventilation, specific heat sources, bed placement, and a location for the support team in the hospital. As the war went on the hospital and their technology became more advanced and less

One time on hoth Jango and Omega are going around then they saw jars of black stuff, “why is they so much black hole esense everywhere?” Said Jango, (in jars.) “I don’t know” said Omega they kept walking until Alpha contacted them, Jango Omega I just heard that Shadow Caster is trying to make a replica of the Shadow Blade on hoth.” said Alpha, “we are already there.” said Jango, so they set off looking for where Shadow Caster was a few step later Jango trips on a jar, “before you say anything that was not funny.” said Jango, a few moments later they see a mold made out of titan medle right

Thank you for your substantive analysis of the assigned material and your contribution to the discourse. I really enjoyed reading how you compared the views presented in the Birth House and the Dawn of Doctors. As you and Jennifer both cited, the lack of equality for women was certainly the central theme presented throughout each assigned text. Additionally, your statement that “doctors were not the same as midwives in the way that they did not take the time to care about the mother as a whole”, was also insightful and very true. Unfortunately, this practice continues to be present. Just as Parte was known for having “women deliver lying down in bed— as position that made his work easier— rather than on a birth stool, which made the

In the beginning of the film “The Doctor” played by William Hurt, Dr. MacKee was a great heart surgeon. He reminded me a lot of Dr. Moore, both excellent doctors who exceeded very well on goals they set their minds too. They were both well respected but went about it wrongfully. Dr. MacKee over time started to become very arrogant because of how loved and well respected he was for his accomplishments. Dr. MacKee was a disrespectful doctor who made jokes about his patient’s situation.

Oxfam’s protection monitoring focuses on specific issues identified to be of relevance for the target population and that can contribute to the analysis of the protection landscape. The monitoring uses primarily qualitative data collection methods, to allow for a more in depth understanding of the issues and to provide space to participants to present their own views, perspectives and recommendations. This thematic report focuses on understanding Syrian refugees’ experiences in accessing health care services in Lebanon. The report presents an overview of the protection issues and challenges and the coping mechanisms used in accessing healthcare services as described by Syrian refugees interviewed in Bekaa and North Lebanon.

In the supernatural town called New Mystic Hills, Virginia that is named after all three television shows. Here in this little town we have witches, hybrids, doppelgangers, vampires, werewolves, banshees, kitsunes and our lovely humans.

The humans have made up their own founding council to ensure that the humans in this small town are protected and safe. Even though their plans don't always work out their are some supernatural creatures that do the best they can to

At the start of the Civil War, the way hospitals were organized and took care of their patients was disastrous in every single aspect of its supposedly “well-thought out” system. To be fair, the shelling of Fort Sumter caught both parties involved quite unprepared for the catastrophic number of casualties to occur. No military leader or general surgeon had planned for such a large-scale conflict. Even in times when the war seemed to “lull” in its rhythmic pace, the Medical Department was greatly understaffed and overworked. Only 114 doctors served the 16,000 men serving in the U.S. Army in 1861, mostly in garrison hospitals. After battles, surgeons set up hospitals near the battlefield to care for patients until they had recovered sufficiently enough to

Although volunteers for Medecins Sans Frontiers are commonly stationed in various countries with a dire healthcare worker shortage, regions with refugee camps and internally displaced persons are also a focus for this organization. Refugees and internally displaced persons often come from war torn regions and live in close confines with poor sanitation and limited resources. These living situations become a breeding ground for diseases and other health issues like malnutrition, yet the individuals lack access to any sort of healthcare. The organization also responds quickly when regions suddenly experience an increased need for healthcare, for example in times of an epidemic or a natural disaster. Medecins Sans Frontiers’ involvement across its varying regions and their attempt to address a broad spectrum of healthcare truly show how altruistic the organization is to individuals regardless of race, gender, or religion.
