Persuasive Essay Throughout history, time travel has been an imaginative dream of many. The British show Doctor Who brings those, and many other dreams to life. For most any who have seen the incredibly genius show Doctor Who, it is hoped, dreamt, and wished to be real. The episodes are filled with suspense, humor, terror, and raw emotion. Everyone should watch this blockbuster show because it is entertaining, emotional, engrossing, educational, and some episodes are even eerie. To start of with some background on the show, it is about a man called the Doctor. To be perfectly honest, he isn’t actually a man. He is an alien from a planet called Gallifrey, with two hearts. He travels through time and space in his space ship called the TARDIS. The TARDIS is a blue police call box, and is bigger on the inside, or smaller on the outside. When the Doctor

This only adds to the overflowing list of reasons why everyone should watch Doctor Who. Many episodes have inspiring speeches and quotes, paired with tender moments that make your heart melt. One of the best quotes in the show said by the Doctor is the following: “Nobody important? Blimey, that's amazing. You know that in nine hundred years of time and space and I've never met anybody who wasn't important before.” Paired with other factors, such as emotion and great entertainment value, Doctor Who is also very educational. This is important when finding a new show to watch, because it’s always good to be entertained and learn new things. Many of the episodes are historical fiction, so the viewer can learn a lot about big events in history, and different cultures. There is also a lot of education about science. This show is filled with science and many of the episodes are completely

    Code Black wastes no time pitting the four residents we'll be following weekly into the hectic surroundings of the hospital. The show does fail to properly introduce each of these characters before they dive into a case but as the episode progresses you'll slowly start to learn a bit about who they are and why they decided to become doctors. The stories of these individuals are touching and sweet and as the episode progressed I started to warm to each of them. A show needs to have likable characters for me to enjoy it and that's exactly what Code Black had.…

    The documentaries of Being Mortal was very interesting. I learned that doctors wear multiple hats. They are not only doctors, but they are counselors, problem solvers and team players. Doctors are taught to be optimistic. They are always looking for ways to fix a problem and keep the hope alive. It is their job to to find solutions to illness and not give up hope. Doctors are not taught how to deal with the problems that can't be fixed like aging or death. One doctor in the documentary stated that conversations about death should come before a patient has a week to live, but the natural time is when a crisis come, but thats too late. Conversation about death are difficult to have and thats why they are put off until necessary.…

    Grey's Anatomy has taught me personally so many medical terms I would have never learned without watching the show like hematoma which is the swelling of clotted blood within the tissues of the brain. The series shows real life scenarios with patients and doctors. You get to see first hand what happens in a trauma, a surgery, organ transplant and everything that takes place in a hospital. The show also teaches different medical jobs like an anesthesiologist, physicians, nurses, pharmacy, chief of surgery,…

    Ever since I was a preteen, I was always fascinated with the channel TLC— otherwise known as The Learning Channel. This certain channel always seemed to focus their shows on topics related to the medical field whether it was a documentary on a person with a genetic mutation that affected their life dramatically or simply a show about ER doctors. It typically didn’t matter what they were showing on any specific day because the producers of the channel always had my eyes glued to the screen, fascinated with the new discoveries I always felt that I was…

    The thing that is wrong with the doctor is that he is so dis-attached from his own family that he does not see what is wrong with his son and his family. He learns that his daughter-in-law, Marianne, is pregnant and his son does not want to keep the baby. If the baby comes to terms the son said he would take his own life for the baby 's life. The reason behind this could be that Isak was such a terrible father to his son, and his own son doesn 't want to do that to a child of his own.

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…

    When comparing different medical shows, the NBC comedy show “Scrubs” is commended by doctors for being the most accurate medical show on television. Hidden underneath the jokes and the cartoonish sequences of “Scrubs” are real plots and real stories of what actually goes on in a hospital. Every case in a hospital is different - some are dramatic, like the ones found on shows like “ER” and “General Hospital”, and some cases are boring or typical, like the ones found on “Scrubs” (Weiss). Though “Scrubs” may be an accurate show, it is still just a show. So, what is it really like to be a doctor?…
