Medical Surgery Research Paper
Medical procedures are most definitely not fun. I would know because I have already had two different kinds of surgeries. The feelings that you go through, or the feelings that you hear about how people felt is kind of interesting. The first surgery that I had was when I was ten months old. I can’t tell you how I felt, because I wasn’t old enough to remember anything. I do, however, know what others in my family thought and felt about the everything. My heart surgery was a major surgery. I had been very sick for the first couple of months after my birth. Later at nine months, the doctor had found a hole that was still in my heart. This wasn’t just a tiny hole either. If you took the size of a baby's fist, that was the size of my heart at the time. Now if you put a quarter next to the fist, that’s how big my hole was in my heart. For me, I have no idea why and how I was alive for those first ten months in that condition.
I can’t tell you what I was feeling that day. My family though gives me pretty good descriptions on how they felt. When the nurse had came to get me for the surgery that day, as she was taking me away, both of my parents started crying. I know it’s hard to imagine my

I guess I kept on screaming at the nurses so much they took me back to my room. When I first saw my parents I didn’t say hi to them or anything. Instead I had just found out that I wasn’t able to play volleyball, so that was the first thing I said to them. I remember being in so much pain with my knee. I don’t want to feel that kind of pain ever

    I chose the career of Surgical Tech for several reasons. I’ve always wanted to be in the medical field in some way. As a kid I always said I wanted to be a brain surgeon. I was also in a car accident at the age of seven where I went through the windshield of the car and my forehead was cut open and had a lot of glass embedded in it. I was pictures of during and after where they had to pull the skin back and remove glass and clean and such. Instead of thinking “ewe, gross” like most seven year olds I, instead thought it was cool.…

    At the time that I was in the hospital, I was eight years old. I went under anesthesia so many times to endure endoscopies, I had blood drawn too many times to count, and at one point in time I had countless IV's in both arms. This didn't gross me out, almost everything about it interested me. Granted this was not a great experience, it will always remain in my memory because this was when I realized, there was nothing that I desired more than becoming a surgeon.…

    At 12:30 at night on June 1, 2015, my life would soon change forever. I was pregnant with my first child and my water had just broken. My mom rushed me to the hospital where I was immediately put in a private room, in the hospital bed where I was about to deliver my first child, a son. He came so quickly (5 & 1/2 hours in total) and I had requested no pain medications and turned it down on several occasions as the medical staff pleaded with me to use it. The pain began to become more and more unbearable, so much so that I honestly felt paralyzed from my waist down. My body was taking over to my surprise and I was just there with my legs in stirrups. They seemed immovable and with the pains coming faster, it is as if they stopped receiving any of the signals my brain was sending to them.…

    I'm so nervous and worried but they called us into the room to get her ready for the surgery. My little baby girl didn't know what was about to happen. My heart was falling apart to see her so small and having to experience this. They finally take her in so I tell her how much I love her and cry. After seven hours of waiting, they call me and tell me that the surgery was over and I could go in to intensive care to see her. That moment was the worst seeing her in so much pain. She passed out on me twice and doctors were so concerned of her reaction. Being there for a month wondering if she was going to make it or not is something I don't wish no one will ever have to go through. But my little angel, my warrior, fought so hard, she overcame it and we left the hospital on January 29th making our way back to El Paso,…
