In Susannah Cahalan’s Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness, the author is a up and coming New York Post reporter. She was focused on her career, her boyfriend, her family, her friends, and her cat. At least, she was focused until she mysteriously got sick one day with no noticeable cause except a possible bedbug bite. After consulting her friends and boyfriend, Susannah decided to go to a neurologist. The neurologist was convinced that nothing is wrong except alcohol consumption. However, after numerous exams and consultations, Susannah started to have seizures. Her boyfriend rushed her to the hospital, where she was later discharged.…

She did not delve into much detail about how her actions affected her relationships with her family and her lovers, which we can assume could be strenuous at times. When she begins to discuss the issues of having children of her own, she even goes so far as to question if people with manic-depression are in danger of becoming endangered. She says that if we eventually rid the world of people with manic-depression using genes and prenatal diagnosis, we risk the world of becoming a much blander place. After some quick research, it becomes clear about her stance on artistic creativity and psychological illness as she has written an entirely different book on the subject. I find this view of hers to be a stretch, and that not every artist must have some sort of psychological…
The doctors like her, though. They find her swift and competent. With the patients she is also swift and competent, but she’s cold, and there’s an undertone of contempt there, as well. She will not allow even the most cataclysmically injured of them to be called a gork or a burn or a wipeout, at least not in her hearing, but she has a certain attitude.…

Similar to Porter when Barbara Thompson asked her, in the interview held in Paris 1963, if there is “something comparable to the experience of Miranda in ‘Pale Horse, Pale Riders,’” she replied “the plague of influenza …It took me long time to go out and live in the world again” (Porter and Givner 85). During the period sickness Adam takes care of her mostly. After she is fully recovered, she realizes that Adam was infected by influenza and died by it. Porter later proclaimed that “the real ‘Adam’ was named Alexander Barclay and was the only man she truly loved (BOLLINGER 369).…

The Louisiana Purchase posed several significant moral dilemmas for President Thomas Jefferson, among these were he believed that federal government should not practice any powers those were not granted by the Constitution. On other hand he stepped up to buy Louisiana territory and he desperately tried to get the Louisiana territory for the new nation but he was not granted evidently to do so under the Constitution. Ultimately, Jefferson was able to make it happened to purchase the Louisiana territory. According to his decisions, he was capable of classifying his beliefs and actions and the significance of Louisiana Purchase he posted on national expansion. Jefferson believed in keeping the United States as agricultural land, and that’s for it required to expand the United States geographically to keep a principled republic.

In addition, it brought up the platform for the settlement and gained the Southwest and the Oregon County.…

Change is unsettling to most people. And one of the most unsettling change we experience is life is having an illness. Illness brings unwanted change and it also brings unwanted emotions. More often than not those emotions do not feel safe. These cause us to feel out of control and without foundational security. It causes us to lose our moorings and set us adrift on a frightening sea of unfamiliarity. Take patients with kidney failure for example. Most of the people who first told that they have a kidney failure and that they will need dialysis are worried and confused. Dialysis is a dreadful procedure but it helps to prolong the life of a person who has a kidney failure.…

The patient Mr. Smith was diagnosed with prostate cancer 5 years ago. It seemed as if his condition was worsening so he visited his physician who performed a physical examination on him. A physical examination has many components they include observing the signs of a disease by checking for signals like change in skin pigment or alertness. Then there is checking vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate and temperature by comparing your results to a standard.

The procedure called palpitation is using fingers and applying pressure to check for abnormalities in the organs. Lastly there is percussion which isn’t used very much it involves tapping on the chest checking to see if the lungs are in good shape.…
