Motorcycle Collision
I’ll never forget the first time I saw a motorcycle collision. I was walking home the night before finals week began. It was late and the walk to my dorm was relatively well-illuminated by the street lamps being swarmed by moths. In the distance I could hear the distinct whine of the motorcycle. As it came barreling down the hill towards the intersection I then heard music blaring from an oncoming car racing from an adjacent street. The collision happened in slow motion… glass and plastic everywhere. My subconscious took over as I sprinted to the lifeless biker’s aid. He wouldn’t move or respond. Another witness called 911 seemingly seconds before the ambulance showed up. This horrific event sparked my interest in a career as a Physician

    It was the summer of 2007, the day after the fourth of july. Fireworks were still going off. The atmosphere was light, filled with laughter and smiles. Nobody had noticed my cousin’s body drop to the pavement but me.I was staring at the group of masked people when it all happened. I vividly remember them approaching him whilst pointing a gun to his head. After tugging onto my mother’s pink silk shirt and pointing towards my cousin, it was chaotic. Everyone had ran towards him except for my aunt. My aunt’s feet were glued to the pavement and her mouth stood agape. A tear ran down her cheek and she then collapsed. A couple days after my cousin’s neurosurgery, my aunt remained the same. During his recovery she never really spoke unless she needed…

    Trauma can happen anywhere, anytime and to anyone. Trauma is often described as physical damage causing distress to the body and mind and can impact a person’s life for many years after the event. No trauma is the same and each injury requires a different response in medical care (Cox, 2013). Fischer et al (2008) shows that paramedics are often unprepared for trauma cases and that in incidents that involved trauma they are less likely to understand the guidelines and implications surrounding the injury which results in slower treatment; Williams et al (2013) and Thompson (2015) supports this theory stating university trained paramedics are unlikely to qualify ready for what they’ll face in their careers.…

    "No scientist brings more experience from the laboratory and field, none thinks more deeply about social issues or addresses them with greater clarity, than Jared Diamond as illustrated by Guns, Germs, and Steel. In this remarkably readable book he shows how history and biology can enrich one another to produce a deeper understanding of the human condition." —Edward O. Wilson, Pellegrino University Professor, Harvard University "Serious, groundbreaking biological studies of human history only seem to come along once every generation or so. . .. Now Jared Diamond must be added to their select number. . . . Diamond meshes technological mastery with historical sweep, anecdotal delight with broad conceptual vision, and command of sources with creative leaps. No finer work of its kind has been published this year, or for many past." —Martin Sieff, Washington Times "[Diamond 's] masterful synthesis is a refreshingly unconventional history informed by anthropology, behavioral ecology, linguistics, epidemiology, archeology, and technological development." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) "[Jared Diamond] is broadly erudite, writes in a style that pleasantly expresses scientific concepts in vernacular American English, and deals almost exclusively in questions that should interest everyone concerned about how humanity has developed. . . . [He] has done us all a great favor by supplying a rock-solid alternative to the racist answer. . . . A wonderfully interesting book." —Alfred W. Crosby, Los Angeles Times "Fascinating and extremely important.... [A] synopsis doesn 't do credit to the immense subtlety of this book." —David Brown, Washington Post Book World "Deserves the attention of anyone concerned with the history of mankind at its most fundamental level. It is an epochal work. Diamond has written…

    My life has been shaped in a variety of ways but two car accidents in particular have come to define who I am today. I will begin when I was two years old. My father was involved in a terrible accident, which I cannot remember due to age; however, I can clearly recall the repercussions to this day. Though he avoided death, my father was handicapped to a point where he can no longer run or move in any quick fashion. As an athlete and father of three boys who loved sports, he was understandably devastated. Over the next few years through incredible perseverance and astounding resolve, my father taught me what it meant to be a man. I learned that life will deal you hapless situations over and over if you let it, and that these situations can only…

    Motorcycle Safety

    Motorcycles don’t posses many safety features that protect their rider. A car contains seat belts, airbags, four wheels for stability, and more; these are important features that help reduce accident and fatality rates. These issues only add to the main problem which is the drivers themselves, I am talking about both motorcycle rider and automobile driver. These two figures represent the majority of those on the streets, they are either inexperienced drivers or to comfortable with their driving habits and lack the attention needed to avoid situations that can arise quickly. Motorcycle safety is something not only riders need to be taught but other motorists as well; educating the population can not only reduce accidents but save lives.…

    Motorcycles Are Dangerous

    • 5 Pages

    The road is filled with cars and motorcycles but what makes motorcycles seem dangerous, is it the motorcycle itself, is it the drivers who are driving side by side with motorcycles or is it the dare devils riding motorcycles? There is a saying for motorcycles, “Its not if one fall, its when one falls.” This is said because beginners are notorious for dropping their motorcycles. Motorcycles themselves are not dangerous. It’s the non-experienced drivers and the drivers around them, that pose a threat to motorcycle riders all over the world. The thing with both motorcycles and cars, is if one were to take all the safety classes and course, they would then be less likely to come across accidents on the road. It’s also surprisingly important to know about the vehicle that you drive. Whether that be a car or a motorcycle, because if you know about the mechanics behind it, there is less of a chance that one would get into an accident caused by a mechanical error. Riders who peacock (the act of dressing in color, very noticeable) and wear proper gear are less likely to be in an accident or be hurt in one. Drinking and riding is a big no-no, on a motorcycle the rider need to have full control of the motorcycle and surroundings, drinking even the legal limit will impair a rider far more than in a car. The standard thought is motorcycles are dangerous, but the truth is they are as dangerous as drivers make them or can be even safer than cars if the driver takes the proper initiative and audited.…
