The Abandoned Hospital

My friend and I had been accepted to Waterloo University and we where exited to be roomates. Our parents where delighted that we had finaly moved out of the house and became men. My friend Rob was a cool guy at school, while i was at the library studying for my tests like a nerd. Rob had visted every single party in high school and became more and more cocky, but he always had a kind heart for who he loves and cares about. We had rented a small aprtment for our selfves, it was the closest one to our classes in the university. I had never relized if Rob was a clean freak or a dirty man, because when ever i visited his room was clean . Even after 6 years of friendship it felt like i was going to live with a stranger. The day had arrived to move to our apartment and we had said our final goodbyes and left to a new journey. We had reached our destination in 3 hours and said hello to our new lives.

    With the barrel of her musket propped firmly on the limb of a tree, Charity took steady aim at the deer. The medium-sized buck was grazing at the edge of a thicket of wax myrtles, near where she saw the deer tracks the day before. John and Uriah were squatting in the bushes behind her. She had brought them along to help with the bleeding out of the deer, should she kill one, and to help carry it back to camp. They could then dress it out and help her prepare the meat for making jerky and so forth. She also hoped to can some of the meat so that it would last a lot longer. She was glad that Nancy had shown her how and taught her how to preserve food in glass jars- it was much better than having to dry it all into tough leather strips… Taking careful aim, Charity squeezed the trigger, while saying a quick prayer that the bullet would hit its mark. She was worried that she wasn't close enough to the deer, but if she had tried to get any closer, it would have seen her and ran off into the woods.…

    As my eyes struggled to adjust to the bright florescent light beaming from the kitchen I realized that it was no more than 6 am. "Well hello there drunkie!" an annoyingly screechy male voice yells from the kitchen. Confused and still a little disoriented I ignored whatever asshole decided to wake up at such a god awful hour. I had noticed he was wearing spandex and a bandana so that shed some light on why anyone would be up so early after a night of drinking. After lying there for around 30 more minutes, I finally decided I might as well get up seeing as how most of the house was waking up top 40's crap coming from the stereo. Eventually the rest of the house gathered in the kitchen and the stories of the night before started to unravel. Luckily, I wasn't on the topic of discussion (aka I wasn't the drunkest) so I decided to start drinking again since I was on vacation. Bad idea.…

    Healing hospitals should be the focus of America’s healthcare system instead they are on the decline. The typical hospital focuses on getting the patients in and getting them out as quickly as possible to save money and make a profit. They do not focus on providing a healing environment that is patient and family friendly, unlike healing hospitals. The lack of a friendly, serine environment may cause stress on the patients and families that feel they or their loved one still needs medical attention and healing. Having a healing hospital that helps patients heal physically and spiritually is key to improving the patients well being. Using a healing hospital as opposed to a typical hospital would be a benefit to the patients and their families since they focus not only on the patients spiritual healing, but their physical healing as well. In this paper I will discuss, the component of healing hospitals and their relationship to spirituality, the challenges of creating a healing environment, and a biblical passage that supports the concept of a healing hospital.…

    When Marion arrives in Bronx he instantly feels culture shock from the speed and lack of noise of American cars, to the short tempered cab driver that threatens him with a gun (Verghese, 2009, p.464). Marion was familiar with the Missing Hospital in Africa, and nearly oblivious to the fact that Our Lady of Perpetual Succour was understaffed and poor compared to other hospitals (Verghese, 2009, p. 467). However, Marion seemed to truly enjoy the long hours of caring for patient’s that Missing wouldn’t have been able to treat despite the vast amount of crime and reputation of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour (Verghese, 2009, p.478). When Marion has to tell Mr. Walters that he had cancer, he finally gets a chance to connect with a patient and even…

    even witty. Smelled like cigarettes, probably since he also took up smoking since 14 years old, the stress of living in Yokeman can do that to you. At first he hung with out with us, and over time... he started keeping his distance. Then, half a year before graduation he just disappeared. Ryan dropped out of school, not even keeping contact with anyone. It was rumored that his family moved out of state, but at that point I thought he was the luckiest man alive to get out of this place. I used to catch him trying to make eye contact with me, but would turn his head away the moment my eyes look back at him, or he notices the moment I turn my head around he faces the ground or elsewhere assuming I didn’t notice him checking me out. Perhaps…

    Some things just are not fair. I moved down to Valdosta for school and have been living here for well over a month. I became acclimated to the hot weather and the humidity of the Valdosta sun. Today was Sunday, It’s barely the break of daylight and the morning sun rays are shining through onto my apartment wood dresser. I lay sound asleep with my beautiful girlfriend and my roommate Daniel comes barging in through my white door and messy cramped apartment saying to me and my girlfriend “Do you want a puppy”? We jump up and without a doubt say “yes”; “Well what are you waiting for? Get up and get ready to go get her” he said. As we scramble to get our bearings, my girlfriend and I are thinking the exact same thing as we struggle to put…

    I am most certain that the majority of students have or had a friend they have known for years. Someone they can be themselves around without any judgment. Well, I used to have a special friend similar to the described description. My former friend was one of those friends who are difficult to find and lucky to have. He and I had an abundance of similar interest. Unfortunately, all great things must come to an end, and this friendship was at its end. At this very day, I am still wondering as to what happened to our perfect friendship. I may never know the reason, however, I can bring some clarity into my understanding of this discontinued friendship.

    It was the craziest out of all of them. This was the year that we had a new girl come to school, her name was Kirsten. It was the fourth day of school and she was doing fine, then everyone started to hate her, and then would be really mean. She seemed to be cool, I don't know why people didn't like her. Me and my best friend were called into the office and asked to be friends with her, and tell them what the other people are doing her, like being mean or talking bad about her. The experience was the worst at first because if you're friends with her you were cool or talk to. That was hard for me because I have a lot of friends at St. Peters, and I didn't want to not be their friend, but now that I think about it they weren't real friends. So I made the choice to be friends with her and not listen to everyone…

    Hospital Closure

    • 3 Pages

    Generally so many safety net hospital are closing because, there is simply not enough funding to bear the rising population of the United States. Over thirty-three percent over the population are uninsured for various reasons. In today’s society there are so many single parent families that cannot afford to pay for private insurance, so as a result they rely on government assistance such as Medicaid, All-kids, and Medicare. According to an article I read in the New York Times magazine, Grady Memorial Hospital is known for teaching and treating populations affected by illness. Yet they currently have a debt of seventy- million dollars owed to Emory Medical as well as Morehouse school of Medicine.…
