David Link Silar: A Short Story

462 Words2 Pages

You never know when your time comes. Even as a doctor, Mr. Link had regular checkups and was hypochondria. Thinking he had every disease in the book with just minor symptoms. Things in life were never taken for granted by David Link Silar. He was known for many things; great things. However, these were the most influential. Mr. Link was a friend, a doctor, father, and husband.
No matter if he was down the road or many states away, Link kept in contact with people. Most of it was through Facebook, but it was more convenient for him. People looked forward to him posting something about the kids, a random rant, funny picture, or something on his mind. After he passed, I was surprised to see the amount of people he kept in contact with throughout the years. Even a few of his buddies from high school and college mentioned they still talked on a daily or monthly basis.
As a doctor, he had tales about his patients. Even if he considered some to be “dumbasses.” Link was an ENT, doctor of …show more content…

I believe they were very fortunate of having Link as a father. Right before he passed, he made a proposition with Nate that if he made all A’s for the semester, he would buy him a puppy. That was accomplished and now Nate has a French Bull puppy that chews on everything. Avery, on the other hand, was a daddy’s little girl. She always had a way of getting her way with Link. Saying things like “Please dad. For your only daughter that makes A’s and never gets into trouble.” Link was definitely a great father.
Lastly, as a husband, he treated Mrs. Joyce as his queen. Every birthday or Mother’s Day, Ruffino’s for dinner and wine. Mrs. Joyce often got her way. The saying “Happy wife; Happy life” definitely served its purpose in that marriage. From horses, cars, or just shopping trips, Mrs. Joyce was always the light in his eyes.
Link will be forever loved and missed but our memories with him will always be

  • Masculinity In The George Lopez Show

    “My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me” says legendary North Carolina State Coach, Jim Valvano (n.d). Fathers have shaped the framework of many successes in society: Beyoncé, Khloe Kardashian, Justin Timberlake—renowned celebrities who have all given sincere gratitude to those who knew them before the world ever gave them a thought, their fathers (Linshi, 2015). Though all know of the realistic father who works the nine to five with consistency, mows the lawn with precision, and provides for his family with care, the televised father portrays this image in a rather opposite light. While both George Lopez of The George Lopez Show (Borden, Helford, Lopez, etc., 2002) and real-life fathers receive harsh criticism and

    His role as an oncologist has profoundly influenced the manner in which I plan to practice medicine in the future: with respect, compassion, and empathy for my patients. It was my observation of his interactions with cancer surviving patients that first inspired me to pursue medicine.

Though I am early in my medical journey, and am willing to keep an open mind, it is only natural that I yearn to pursue a profession related to oncology.

  • A Rhetorical Analysis Of I Want A Wife By Judy Brady

    833 Words  | 4 Pages

    Judy Brady’s “I Want A Wife” is a revolutionary piece that attempted to reveal the unequal roles men and women held in society. She goes through her prose by listing all the responsibilities her wife must have and the ways to make her happy. Brady’s whole article is satirizing these roles and is, in general, very sarcastic in her tone. She mocks a society that has given women an impossible standard and she starts with the deprivation of her education then continues with the role her wife should play in domestic ways, and then finishes with the expectations the sexual aspects of their relationship. I believe that Brady’s underlying message was and still is important for the development of equality in our nation.
