Fourth Doctor

A True Eye-Opener It was a Thursday, May 21st in the year 2015. My grandfather had gone into surgery for what was suppose to be the removal of his gallbladder. However, when he came out of surgery, that is when the life of my family and mine changed. It was just suppose to be a simple surgery. The surgeon would look through the scope, locate the gallbladder and the remove it. That wasn’t the case. My grandfather’s gallbladder hadn’t been removed. Instead what the surgeon found was a tumor, a

I was about to fall asleep on my office’s desk drained from the procedure my colleagues and I did for the past 6 hours. My assistant walked into the office which reminded me that i am still working at the hospital. “I need my bed”, says the inner me overwork and irritated. I was thinking and then remembered the procedure. The intense and fast-paced environment still made my heart skip. The voices of my colleagues all talking at the same time, in addition to that, keeping up with the beeping of the

education about babies and pregnancy that I had never known. Hearing a heartbeat at 6 weeks made me feel sick about all the pregnancies being aborted. Heartbeats happen very early on, oftentimes 6-8 weeks is around the time a woman first goes to the doctor noticing she is pregnant, so abortions are almost always after the heartbeat starts. I began to look at abortions as a woman and a baby, not a woman and a fetus...a term used, in my opinion, to de-humanize the abortion

Clifford Roberts “What’s that?” “If you want to try your luck again at being a doctor, I’ll foot the bill for your college training regardless of the cost. In this short time, I’ve grown to like you. I trust you and want to help.” Outside the sky was alight with billions of stars shinning on some random guy waiting for a bus. Sassy started to cry, glad Sherlock had alighted on a happy solution. The bartender handed him some Kleenex and refilled his drink telling him it’s on the house. Sherlock

Day four of clinicals was really long. The first patient was scheduled from 8 until 1, he was getting fitted for 4 crowns and an implant crown. When the patient came in he had a horrible odor and looked like he hasn’t taken care of himself in months. I seated him down and the dental assistant just glanced at his teeth and looked at me strangely and whispered come here and look. I look in this old man’s mouth and saw nothing but a brown layer of plaque and calculus build up and it disgusted me. How

at him lying there exposed on the floor, and why is he swollen on his entire right side? It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out, it was from the fall. That goofy looking doctor offered me some off-the-wall excuse, it’s fluid, as if I was just going to accept the nonsense. Expressing my indignation at their incompetence and unprofessional conduct toward my husband I literally told him, “you don’t know what you are doing and you look like you don’t know what you are doing.” Someone else need to

"Use of Force" by William Carlos Williams is a seemingly simplistic, three-page story about a doctor making a house call during an outbreak of diphtheria in rural America in the 1930s. The young patient, Mathilda, refuses to cooperate, and the doctor’s need to examine her throat to diagnose her illness causes him to force her to open her mouth. Her resistance makes him grow increasingly violent and aroused. The description of the doctor’s assault and physical struggle to examine her throat is

Boise to Houston Boise, Idaho, 1938. Monroe Emery Long is born at St. Luke Boise Medical Center to his parents Denise and Richard Long. At birth, Monroe was 24 inches and 8lb 3oz with short blonde hair stubbles and brown eyes. Growing up, Monroe had a good, but studious childhood. He didn’t have much time for friends because was often reading about anything his parents forced him too. From an early age he wanted to do what most kids wanted to do when they grew up: Policeman, Firefighter, and Astronaut

junior year education, I leave school early to go to the doctor’s once again. As I drive home my leg is visibly shaking on the pedal. “How are you today Brittany?” questions my doctor. “I’m okay,” I mutter, I can feel my heart pulsating throughout my entire body. “Well, what would you do for an ACL tear?” my doctor knows I enjoy science and coming up with solutions for myself. I respond back with a small “Surgery” but the inside of me wants to scream. A tear feels cold trickling down my burning
