Personal Narrative: Patient Coming Through, Move Out Of The Way !
“Patient coming through, move out of the way!!”, the doctor screaming. My hands held tightly onto hers, never wanting to let go. I barely said any of my words as tears streamed down my face and said, “Promise me to never leave me alone, I have something special I want to give you.” As we got near the emergency room, the doctor told me to wait outside. I slowly let go of her hand and waited patiently. Moments later, I see the nurse coming out, I got up and ran up to her to ask her what happened and she replied, “The patient lost a lot of blood, so we need to get more packets of blood..” and she left. Thoughts running through my head, thinking everything was going to be ok but at the same time thinking that it was not going to be okay. I clap my hands together and prayed that everything will be okay. Memories started to come back to me from when we first met and how we always fought because our parents never accepted us since we were different. I saw the red light turn off and I knew …show more content…
All of a sudden, I started to speak “I want to give you something right now, but I don’t know if you will accept me but I still want to say it…
My life was a disaster, but since I met you I felt that you were the only one for me. You always think that you don’t suit me because you are poor and I come from a rich family, but to me that doesn’t matter because you are who you are and that’s why I love you. You bring the joy and happiness into my life and so I really hope that from now on every minute, every hour, every day you will be the light to my sunshine. Sometimes we might go through many obstacles but I know we will always be able to overcome them together. We may always fight, we may even have bad days when we don’t want to see each other and talk to each other, but as long as we have each other that’s all I really care about. So I want to ask...Will you marry

    It was Monday, May 30th, 2011. My family was driving home from a hotel we were staying at in Virginia, after going to Kings Dominion for my birthday day the day before. On the way home, we stopped at a Cracker Barrel for breakfast. During our meal, we got a call from my aunt telling us that my uncle, my mother’s brother, was in the hospital. Only a few days before he had moved back to Guatemala without saying goodbye to me. Once we were back on the road, my mother continued to get phone calls updating us about what was happening down there, as each call came through we all became more and more anxious wait for the answer. Then it came it just wasn't the answer we were hoping for, my mother began pushing on the walls of the car as if they were…

    The ER waiting room smelled stale. Sick babies and toddlers were crying, waiting to see a doctor. My brother was laying on the tan tiled hospital floor. He was shaking terribly as the antibiotics from the previous hospital wore off and the infection set in more. Both of his hands were red and swollen. His right hand, had a black mark from where the IV initially infected. His left hand was swollen to the size of a small balloon, kind of like a blown up rubber glove I used to get from the doctor when I was younger. My mom took her jacket off to cover him. His skin was hot to the touch but he was still freezing. His fever was 101.2 but there were no open rooms in the ER at our second attempt at a hospital. We had to get him antibiotics…

    On my first day of clinical ride time after we dropped off our first patient at the hospital and had given turn over I asked Bruce, “Do you ever wonder what happens after we leave?” He gave me a shrug and a knowing smile replying, “Sometimes but you will get used to it.” To me it felt unfinished. What was going to happen to the patient, would they be admitted, would they be sent home, what would their quality of life be? As an EMT these questions have always intrigued…

    The key drive of this assignment is to discover through narratives the mental, ethnic and sociological viewpoint of a patient journey with a long-term illness (asthma). Patient narrative is a means towards achieving more understanding about the individual, accepting patient-specific implication of a sickness and managing strategies (Kalitzkus and Matthiessen, 2009). The acceptance of sickness and wellbeing conduct models has been renowned to bear substantial effect on the care given to specific patients and the health care provision organisation (Wade and Halligan, 2004). The traditional theory that embraces that sickness is different from the usual has been a topic of discussion and the biomedical model of wellbeing which has long been the…

    The moment I woke up from my surgery I remember my surgeon say that "everything thing went well, that the gallbladder came out fine with no complications." She must have turned to my mom because she had said that she wanted me to stay overnight to monitor me, crazy thing was is that I was a actually still pretty drugged up, the room was a little fuzzy my mouth had a weird dry nasty taste inside of it that I really can't put my tongue to, they wouldn't even give me water right away As I looked down i wasn't in the baggy tan robe gown any more that they had given me when i had first arrived at devos children's hospital.

    I have obtained two jobs working alongside physicians and nurses. The first job consists of transporting patients throughout a large hospital system. Every day is filled with numerous activities as the hospital is a level one trauma center located between suburban and urban areas. I chose to work nights to gain more responsibilities and autonomy. My responsibilities include transporting patients throughout the hospital system. I have learned to communicate with a diverse population and explain my role with regards to care. During night shifts, I was tasked with transporting patients out of the emergency department and into the main hospital. Other roles of my job include collecting, cleaning, and distributing equipment such as IV pumps throughout…

    With my first week of clinical affiliation from the HCR ManorCare-Pittsburgh location under my belt I can give a sigh of relief that I have gained an understanding into the early expectations that my Clinical Instructor (CI) and staff have for me. From day one to current I have been asked to handle and comprehend tasks that I discovered during my academic and laboratory learning at CCAC such as goniometry, transfers, parallel bar training (to name a few). So for me being able to translate what I have learned and apply this to my inpatient setting has been invaluable. Yes, the way they document (electronically via IPad) and use of electronic stimulation placements are slightly different then what I’m accustomed my goal will be to learn these…

    While medical care was available growing up, there were financial or situational periods where it was not necessarily accessible. I am from a single parent family. My mother moved in with my grandparents after her divorce and works two full time jobs to help provide for my brother, grandparents, and I. Since my father went to jail and my grandfather passed, we have had to make many adjustments financially. This was the case due to my father not providing payments for child support for the time he was incarcerated nor occasional months prior. There has also been a complication with my mother and I having our identity stolen, which has created additional problems when applying for governmental aid throughout my undergraduate years. I worked…

    I believe we still use a lot of paper still in our everyday practice. Every time I discharge a patient I print information out on their new medication. It surprise me how many patient have no idea what medication they are on; let alone why! As a nurse I educate them during the medication pass and at discharge. Slowly they are getting better about not having repetitive charting on paper and on the computer. I feel like if they can fix this problem I would have more time to spend with my patients.…
