Dr. J.K. Mc Clain and other members of the cardiology department consulted on the patient. They felt that his hypoxia and breathlessness were not secondary to his cardiac status.

The cardiology staff utilized intravenous medications that controlled the cardiac rate, adequately resolving these cardiac issues. I managed the patient’s ventilator in intensive care status along with my respiratory therapy team.

Life is full of risks. Some risks are bad, yet some are good. Carl Hiaasen in the book Scat wants to teach the reader that taking some risks can lead to a positive outcome. For example, Nick and Marta took a risk when they snuck into into Mrs. Starch’s house. On page 135, Carl Hiaasen in Scat wrote, “Nick wasn’t sure if sneaking into Mrs. Starch’s house was the bravest thing he’d ever done, or the dumbest. But he felt certain that the world’s meanest biology teacher wasn’t really absent from school because of a family crisis. Something else had happened, something serious..” Sneaking into the house of a feared biology teacher was definitely taking a risk. Taking that risk allowed Nick and Marta to learn that Mrs. Starch had not been inside of…

Benjamin Aereli once said that “Circumstances are beyond the control of the man, but his conduct is in his power.” I agree with this quote. This quote means that unexpected things happen, things that one does not have any control over. One does have control over how they handle a situation. Many examples of this idea can be found in literature. The play All My Sons by Arthur Miller illustrates this idea several times. Two characters that best support this quote are Joe Keller and his son Chris Keller. Both of these characters are put in situations that they had no control over, but make decisions based on what they believe is right. Arthur Miller uses the literary elements irony and foreshadowing to show that one does have control over how they handle a situation.…

Sometimes, being overconfident is harmful because it interferes with our ability to make the correct decision. In the end, McCormick faces his “dragon” and…
Crash tells the story of people from wildly disparate walks of life as they collide and intersect with one another. Each life is in some way personally affected, changed, damaged, or victimized by racism. They’re also all in some way guilty of racism themselves. via interlocking stories, the cultural, racial, and spiritual isolation of Los Angelinos. Due to the sprawling city's decentralized, car-reliant layout, Haggis's characters have become sheltered from those not in their own socio-economic sphere, and this seclusion has led to virulent narrow-mindedness.…
The quote above states that we should always take precautionary measures to prevent ourselves from getting into harm’s way. It is better to be well informed about the consequences of your actions, than suffer in the future out of ignorance. William Shakespeare’s play “Macbeth” warns the audience against the acts they might commit, which will backfire. Power is like lust, there is no end to it. In the play “Macbeth”, Macbeth is not satisfied with the titles he holds; The thane of Gladis and the The thane of Cawdor. He wants something above that, he wants to be the King of Scotland.…
Using Blackburn's theory of compatabilism and comparing it to the characters in Flannery O'Conner's short story "A Good man is hard to find" one notices that one can never tell what their choices may bring.
