Rotation one was a morning shift, I got to experience how the Phlebotomist do morning draws. They all go to different departments. We drew some timed draws, I saw some patients that were not able to identify themselves therefore; we had to look at their wrist band and match the labels to make sure we drew the correct person. The morning draws are usually for all patients, some of the patients were still sleeping; we had to knock and wake them up. Most of the patients where elderly, I liked how the Phlebotomist asked the patients if they needed anything before leaving their room; I thought this was kind of him.
Introduction For two days, on the 14th and 15th of April, a field excursion to Hastings Point, New South Wales was conducted. At Hastings Point, topography, abiotic factors and organism distribution were measured and recorded, with the aim of drawing links between the abiotic factors of two ecosystems (rocky shore and sand dunes), the organisms which live in them, and the adaptations they have developed to cope with these conditions. Within these two ecosystems, multiple zones were identified and recorded, and this report also aims to identify the factors and organisms associated with each zone. Lastly, using data and observations from the past, predictions for the future of the rock pool ecosystem were made.
Dr. McMillan will not give me my anesthesiologist of the year award if those samples are not in his hands by noon, and that’s cutting it short. I can’t believed I trusted you as my assistant. We are the premier hospital in Los Angeles, and I can’t have you messing things up. You were more reliable as just a college buddy.” Alvin was the head of McMillan hospitals in L.A., and his shoulders were carrying a heavy load during the winter season.
Approximately 100,000 children die of cancer before the age of 15 in the world every day. According to the Journal of American Medical Association, roughly 80% of children with cancer in high-income countries, such as the United States, survive. With that in mind, we must be thankful for the facilities we have close to home, such as Children’s Mercy Hospital.
A 15 year old boy with leukemia had just passed away in front of me and his mom. He was fine that morning, but then he suddenly started gasping, and was dead within few minutes. I just felt like I was blind; I couldn’t breathe. I ran to the supervisor (a nun sister), who was rounding with the main doctor. She told me to tell his mother not to cry loudly; that may disturb the rounds.
They were resting a little after the medication and I had the computer on wheels moving around. This computer on wheels abbreviated, as ‘cow’ is very beneficial to the doctors since they move it with them, as they are moving around in the office. However, this computer on wheels was left on with a patients record and I was turned around to assist the next one. I was being observed when I am in this section of the center.
A Phlebotomists Nightmare Deep within the bowels of Camden Clark Medical Center I began my workday as any other. My basket consisted of sharp fresh needles, silky gauze, alcohol swabs, and several unused tubes. My patients dreadfully awaited to be drawn as I stock my supplies.
There is nothing they can do. Two weeks after this news, your baby boy passes away in your arms. Now imagine this happening to 250 kids everyday worldwide. Childhood cancer is not rare, despite this there isn 't much funding or awareness for this disease, but together we can change that. When you think of cancer you probably don 't think about a child, or if you do you don 't realize that Childhood Cancer and adult cancers are genetically different.
The level of care that the varying healthcare professionals provided to these patients was fascinating and became intrigued to a career path in the medical field. Over the next couple of years, I narrowed the possibility
Josie’s death shouldn’t have happened, and would’ve probably been avoided if someone took the time to truly listen to her mother’s concerns. Reading Josie’s story opened my eyes to the dire need of communication between the medical team and patients and/or family members. Sorrel, Josie’s mother, tried numerous times to alert the medical team of the changes observed in her daughter, yet no one listened. She highlights the severe breakdown in communication and the necessary steps needed to rectify our medical

The main reason of why scientists have a hard time finding a good set of existing organisms to compare.

‘That I sat in my son’s hospital room for 6 hours, and he didn’t move once? That when Dr. Giles opened his eyelids and flashed a light into his eye, the pupils didn’t dilate enough to measure? That the sounds my son make… are like none that any boy should ever make? You want me to tell her that the bloody stump is still oozing?” (page 40)

As an aspiring physician in Emergency Medicine, it is hard to describe typical physician workday activities. Every day is unique and filled with many opportunities to learn and develop clinical, interpersonal communication, leadership and critical thinking skills. Despite this, there are certain routine activities which I had the opportunity to observe through my shadowing experience in the Emergency and Operating rooms at California Hospital Medical Center, Los Angeles. One day, a two year old patient came into the ER after falling and cutting her head. The patient’s mother told the physician that her daughter is nervous and scared.
Upon arriving to the unit this morning, I quickly realized today was going to be a chaotic day with the current patient census, and all of the new admissions. I was able to assist the night charge nurse with today’s assignments, while she helped with the code, and the day began. I informed my team that today was going to be a long day, and encouraged them to use each other and myself for help. I recommended they taking a few minutes to coordinate their work after receiving report. At 0745, when Jane informs me that the patient in 408 has fallen, I am quick to get into the room and do an assessment again.
