Patient Observation Report
Before my sophomore year, I shadowed Dr. Ball, a family doctor at Eagle Ranch Clinic. Although many view shadowing as passive, Dr. Ball kept me engaged. Because the clinic was an educational clinic, Dr. Ball was used to students shadowing her. As we met with her patients, she would address questions I had and she would invite me to come close to observe anything she identified. Most significant though, was observing Dr. Ball’s interactions with her patients. Despite seeing numerous patients, Dr. Ball made sure to show each compassion and care. It was clear that her patients trusted her and she not only focused on a patient’s current health issues, but also focused on addressing any questions the patient had about their condition.

    The thing I found most interesting was the clinician’s ability to keep the client on task and always bring him back when he lost focus. The other was how many different activities the clinician had planned for the fifty-minute session. She kept the client very busy as to not lose his focus, yet still managing to keep everything tied into the goals she had laid…

    Patient Zero Lab Report

    The Immune system is one of the most important parts of the human body. Its role is to protect us from outside dangers such as pathogens and disease and to keep the body healthy. The immune system protects the body from disease by having a complex system of organs and cells to keep the body safe. The first barrier of the immune system and of the body is the skin which keeps out pathogens from entering the body, but if there is a cut in the body, the skin can no longer defend against the pathogen, so next comes inflammation which helps to limit the spread of the disease by causing swelling and a large amount of white blood cells to go to the injured parts of the body. Another really important…

    A significant reason I continued cheerleading in college was my desire for a team environment and support system of upperclassmen to look up to and underclassmen to provide a fresh look. Feinberg’s team-based care model is most conducive to the type of environment off which I have thrived my entire life.

    Personal Narrative: A Career In Medicine

    Before this shadowing experience, I knew that pursuing a career in medicine is something that I was interested in, but I never had a real experience to examine a typical doctor's life. After the first week of shadowing, I started getting a sense of what it is to be a doctor. Becoming a doctor is not something easy. Every time I went to the office, there was a big list of patients that doctor Eloy had to meet. He had to be careful about the way he acts and the way he talks with patients, nurses, and other doctor. Even though it seemed so hard at the beginning, I enjoyed this experience and I learned a lot from it. I learned that being a doctor requires more than going to medical school. Medical school is just the first step. I learned that a…

    Patient Narratives

    "Narratives" or stories have been used throughout the history of the human race to allow and help people to express themselves in ways that promote personal growth and enhance physical well-being. Even in the simplest of contexts, narratives are a core factor in the advancement of the humanity/society and all of its facets. An illustration of this can be seen in the transfer of a family 's lineage, history, and values from generation to generation. This allows for the recipient of this information to have a greater knowledge of his/her own family and the history surrounding it. Oral narratives and writings, such as journals, stories, or speeches to others are stress-relieving mechanisms that can reduce the external stress. The narrating of one 's thoughts definitely does not initially affect the external stressors one is facing. Narrating does, however, allow one to share these feelings with others and to organize one 's thoughts around these issues. More significantly, narrative opportunities such as these, work to encourage and advance constructive contexts in which individuals such as a mother and daughter or father and son can openly communicate any differences, worries, or problems one might be having with daily living. A more important and serious issue interlaced with narratives is the "personal issue of telling stories about illness…" (Frank, ch.1 pg.2) Narratives are the beginning to the process of healing.…
