Memorable Event
A Memorable Event in My Life My father died at the young age of 48. He was my pillar, my hope and he was the one that helped me not be scared of the future. I was ten years old when my dad died and I felt like I had lost everything. I became unhappy, unwilling to talk , and most of all almost suicidal. His death was a memorable event that I cant forget: before going to the hospital , while being in the hospital and after the catastrophe.
He had a sudden heart attack. He’d been having chest pains all night but convinced my mum it was just indigestion. He was also sick a number of times. My mum booked a doctors appointment for him, he insisted that he drove himself and that my mum was to go to work. And she asked him to text/ring her when he got home and to make sure he was alright. It got to an hour after his appointment and mum still hadn’t heard anything, so she rang my brother mobile to make sure he was home and safe, he presumed he had just come home and gone back to bed forgetting to let her know. But, my Dad never made it to the doctors, he hadn’t even made it out of bed. My brother found him, so we took him quickly to the hospital.
We arrived the hospital with an ambulance . After that, the nurses came quickly to help us with a wheelchair . His face was all puffed up, his hands and legs looked swollen. And there was not even a slight sign of activity on his shape.Then, I moved with no a shred of awareness to the operating room . My brother and We waited two hours and no one called us .I looked around for the duty doctor to talk to. I saw Dr.Marwan , who also saw me, but looked away pretending to see another patient in the ward , who was looking quite, awake and recovering. I attempted to speak to the nurse but she had nothing to say and said all question must be addressed to the doctor. when I received that dreaded news from that doctor at the hospital lounge .We came immediately and said it is a little serious?. I rushed to the upper floor

It was a long drive for a little baby like her at the time she was only two years old. Early that morning my parents took us to the bus station.The bus was leaving at 6 a.m. in the morning to get to Austin, TX at midnight.

The ambulance came picked him up and took him to the hospital. When he got to the hospital the doctors started running a ELECTROCARDIOGRAM.

The next day he was seen by the CARDIOLOGIST, and was told he had a heart attack due to ARTERIOSCLEROSIS. Three days later he was rushed to the hospital with the same symptoms. The local hospital air lifted him to Duke Medical Center, where he was diagnosed with CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE and ANGINA. Once he was at duke, he was told he had a major heart attack and was put in the INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (ICU) for EXTENSIVE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. He was told he would have to go on the transplant list. To be eligible for the transplant list, he had to go through numerous test to see if he could handle a transplant. During these test he had to see the PULMONOLOGIST due to having DYSPNEA. The pulmonologist used a BRONCHOSCOPY to look at the inside of the lungs. He was then diagnosed with PULMONARY EDEMA, and told he might not be eligible for a transplant due to the fluid in his left lung and a possible hole in his left lung. They used ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION to clear the fluid from his lungs. He spent another week in the intensive care unit (ICU) and his lungs cleared up. The doctor found he did not have a hole in his lung, and he was then put on the transplant list. He got his cardiac transplant one month later. While doing the transplant they had to break his STERNUM which took about 6 months to heal. After the transplant he had to go on IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE medicines to…

    I was always the visitor, because someone I knew was sick. The emergency room was quite unsettling. I saw people who were in worse condition than me. The lady across from me had a broken neck and the man beside her was vomiting blood. I hate to admit it, but seeing that people there were in worse condition than me was rather comforting. As a result, I did not mind the wait. It took the doctor an hour to see me. He brushed it off as nothing was wrong and it was just a virus, but he sent a nurse to do some bloodwork. A nurse came in and poked me with a needle to draw some blood from me. I was kind of scared of getting my result back, because I was still adamant that I was dying. The nurse came back and casually told me that my blood work was abnormal. I was having a meltdown inside, but I kept a calm composure. She said that another nurse would come in and perform an EKG on me. The EKG nurse arrived and wasted no time in hooking a bunch of cold wires to my chest to check the electrical activity of my heart. Turns out my heart was not beating normally either. I thought to myself “What else could possibly go wrong?”. I had thought that question to soon. The nurse with a smile continued to tell me that the doctor thinks I have a pulmonary embolism. She further explained that basically means I have a blood clot in my lung, but it was highly unlikely that at my age I had it. My mom asked her what could have possibly caused a…

    After that text, we left and headed to the hospital. As we drove to the hospital, I could feel the sick feeling in my stomach growing worse and worse, I felt like throwing up. I was scared, and so was everybody else. The car ride was mostly my mom sparing us the details of what happened while my dad raced us there. “She has internal bleeding in her legs. She arrived early this afternoon.” Mom said, and didn’t say anymore. She was probably thinking that we were already scared enough and that my younger…

    Speaking on the most memorable day of my life, it was our sports meet and I was assigned to run the 100 meters. Let me tell you the last 5 min before the race starts has to be the most suspenseful, adrenaline driven moments that people who don’t take part in races will understand. It is has to be the same rush of emotion as driving a Ferrari, fast down an empty, straight road. The feeling can never compare. The competitive edge is shown in the clenched fists and bent knee as everyone is bent down, waiting for the word “GO” from the mouths of the judges. Even in this race, I have to tell you, everyone was determined to win. I was competing with my friends, but friendship was forgotten during this race and during the sports meet. The only thing on our mind is to WIN.…

    The most memorable moment during my junior year was when I finally made the decision to apply for the military. I did not suddenly think about applying, in fact, it took me about a couple of months to go online on the United States Navy Reserve Officers' Training Corps website to click “Apply”. After reading all of the information about joining and listening to many stories from friends and veterans, I was passionate to commit myself to the program. Aside from my excitement, some of my friends and family were not too happy about it. Some of my friends hugged me tightly and cried for about an hour, a couple of them tried to persuade me not to join by giving me lectures about wars, and a few just said “no”…

    One of the most memorable and impactful memories of my life happened when I was just six years old. It was a chilly day in mid January as I cheerfully scampered off the school bus to dash inside and be greeted by a mug of hot chocolate and warm cookies. I was clumsily toying around with Legos while waiting in anticipation for my dad to get home. The moment I saw my dad walk through the door I darted down the stairs and was shocked to see him holding a large, mysterious cardboard box. He informed me that contained inside were loads of cupcakes he had gotten from work, but to my surprise when I looked inside I saw a tiny little puppy bundled up in blanket sleeping on the base of the box. I was thrilled at first but soon after my hopes were crushed when I realized this little dog had fatal cancer and only had a short month to live. Due to his horrible condition we named him Chance for his perseverance to survive such a sickly…
