The movie “Wit” was very touching story about 48 year old English professor, Vivian, who is diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. Her physician gets her to agree to an aggressive chemotherapy treatment which is a research experiment. He tells her that the therapy is the best way to cure here cancer. Vivian went through eight months of rigorous and often painful experimental treatment especially the final weeks of her life. One of her former student, Jason, is a researcher on the team. Jason is very intelligent person but insensitivity to Vivian. He always come in the room and question such as “how are you feeling today?”, which after while loses all meaning. On the other hand she has her primary care nurse, Susie, shows compassion and sense of code of ethics which brings her into conflicts at time with the physician.

These encounters allowed me to make my assumptions of a nurse should conduct themselves. Most nurse exhibits good ethics and compassion towards their patient as so it should be. When the movie began, the first nurse that walked in had no bedside manners. The second nurse had no hospitality which is not therapeutic in any way. It is surprising to know that some nurses can be so cold against their patient. This is truly heart breaking especially when this action is towards a terminally ill person. There is no dignity in this negative action. Nurse Susie attempted to advocate for Ms. Viviane. On the other hand, there was a point when she neglected to listen to Ms. Viviane when she refused a test. Patients have the right to accept or refused treatment ad should not be forced. This is where patient education would have been

I come from a very large Mexican family where there is a lot of meat, cheeses, fried food, butter and of course always a lot of sweets. Due to this diet there are many health related concerns in my family, three being diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, although high cholesterol seems to be more of a genetic issue rather than a food related one. Even so, the diet we maintain does not help lower it. Due to this diet and genetics, I have very high cholesterol myself; my doctor even shocked me by saying that I could have a heart attack by the time I’m 25. This obviously scared me and I knew then that there needed to be a change in my diet.

Apocalypse now illuminates the horror, and the atrocities of what war can cause. It showed how one can go in a normal citizen and return unable to make contact with the world without feeling out of place. As the characters move forward into metaphorical fog and darkness,the film introduces the idea that war reels in a darkness hidden within. In the first scene Willard is introduced as an already broken man, he’s back from his first tour and already feels compelled to start his second. Questions about his sanity begin to rise, how far has he been pushed off edge? Shattered mirror, and divorce papers by his side only maximizes the realization of how distant he is from his old self. This illustrates how war is capable to change an individuals

Dialogue is the "meat" in a screenplay. The role od dialogue is to push the story forward and shows us who the characters are. Seeing is believing in film. It os called visual storytelling for a reason. I didn't realize how much could be wrong with one's dialogue. For the short, Intercambios the dialogue was on the nose. One technique that comes to mind is K.IS.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid." This film kept me engaged and emotionally invested. The subtext was wonderful and I knew what the characters meant by something that was not said. The script on paper was very clear. There were no extra lines or "talking wallpaper." The dialogue describes Cristina as an honest and hardworking daughter, helping to support her struggling family in another country. She saved eight thousand dollars to help them and went to the bank to wire the money to surprise them. The subtext shows who she is and so does the script. She calls her mother being so happy and humble. It indicates that she is hardworking. From the prepaid cell phone to the mattress that lay on the floor, I knew she was honest. However when she meets the

We live in a world that the strive to be normal is inevitable, if you have a disability, you are told you can’t do most things, if you look different than the majority you get discriminated. Society has taken many steps back on the view of disability, especially for Deaf individuals. Deafness is viewed as a disability that needs to be fixed, due to a hearing society where hearing is the norm. With the push to “fix” deafness there is an increased likelihood that sometime in the near future with genetic testing being targeted to remove the deaf gene, deafness is at a threat of extinction, which in turn will cause the extinction of American Sign Language and the Deaf Community.

In Gattaca we see that Valids, those that have been genetically engineered, have a sense of superiority towards In-Valids, those born naturally. We see very clear scenes in the movie where In-Valids have been persecuted against due to the circumstances of their birth, which was something they had no control over. There are many moments when we see this prejudice, from very early in the movie, and almost all the way to it's completion. From the moment Vincent was born, he and his entire life was almost mapped out on a piece of paper. Everything from his chances of contracting diseases, how he will operate cognitively, and even when he is most likely to die. Vincent is immediately pigeonholed, and from that moment on, declared one who is seen

According to Pozgar (2016), “Physicians must, as provided in the Hippocratic oath and codes of ethics, make care decisions for the benefit of their patients and not for their hurt or for any wrong” (p. 346). In the case study “Physician Lacks Compassion”, it is possible to identify some violations to the principles of medical ethics. As stated by the American Medical Association (AMA) (n.d.) “A physician shall be dedicated to providing competent care, with compassion and respect for human dignity and rights” (Overview). Unfortunately, on the case mentioned above, Dr. Mean failed to be dedicated to providing care to Mrs. Smith, his patient. Mrs. Smith had been waiting for her appointment and her health status has deteriorated, however, that was not a sufficient reason for the scheduler to make a space for a new appointment as soon as possible.

The movie Wit follows Professor Vivian Bearing through eight months of rigorous treatment for stage IV ovarian cancer. Most of the personnel in the movie seem to lack empathy and treat Dr.Vivian as research rather than a human being. The only person in the health care team who actually cares for Vivian is the nurse Susie Monahan. She treats Vivian with basic human decency and allows the expression of negative and positive feelings. Her actions develop into a trusting relationship which allows the discussion of an advance directive. The nurse explains full code and do not resuscitate to allow Vivian to make an informative decision. The nurse understands that the doctors ignore quality of life and believe that “anything’s okay as long as the

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.

In this film health care professionals lacked empathy and caring behaviors towards the patient for the most part. The health care professionals acted as if Vivian was lesser than them since she was terminally ill. The professionals referred to Vivian as an experiment, and treated her like an experiment rather than a human being. Since they saw Vivian as an experiment, they lacked empathy for Vivian and were shallow toward her feelings and pain. The health care professionals made comments to Vivian that made it sound like they were annoyed of Vivian and her needs. The professionals would walk in the room without introducing themselves or explaining procedures before they do them. When the professionals asked Vivian questions about her lifestyle and health they would interrupt her if she did not give a yes or no answer. The doctor started a pelvic examination unprepared, and left Vivian alone in a room during the middle of an examination without providing for privacy. The doctor was rough with her during the pelvic exam, and was jerking on the equipment, which made the patient think the doctor did not want to be there. The doctor also acted worried during the exam and made Vivian concerned, and then walked out of the room without talking to the patient. Also, when Vivian went to get a scan, the tech checked her in then left her in the room waiting while he took a break. All of these behaviors demonstrated by the health care professionals showed their lack of empathy and caring
