Dr. J.K. McClain 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. He had supraventricular cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. The cardiology staff utilized intravenous medications that controlled the cardiac rate, adequately resolving these cardiac issues. I managed the patient’s ventilator and the intensive care status along with my respiratory therapy team. Unfortunately the patient developed multiple infections, hospital acquired, including klebsiella…

Losing Tim clearly portrayed the importance of advocacy on behalf of the client and his/her family. Paul and his family were fully invested in Tim’s success and access to proper treatment. Since the family was involved, the providers should have had an easy time providing for Tim. Instead, they failed to commit to verbal and written agreements nor did they adequately serve the family. The shortcomings in the policies and laws can cause families to feel helpless and discouraged. It seemed as though the policies were not designed to support families, rather the providers found methods of avoiding proper treatment and blamed Tim for many of his challenges and his future. “Many years ago, we put people with mental illness in chains in institutions…
In the Rutgers suicide case, the main conflict of interests is the privacy of Tyler Clementi and Ravi’s freedom of speech. As a homosexual, Tyler Clementi also had the interest of being treated fairly without discrimination, just as ordinary people. In today’s society, with homosexual becoming more common and accepted, gay rights keep growing. The public expect Ravi to be nice with his gay roommate instead of invasion his privacy and bias.…

At first glance, the concept of death seems simple; one tries to live as long as possible, and when the time comes, he goes. However, there is much more to it than that. There is everything that leads to a person’s death and there is the aftermath. In her article “Losing Matt Shepard: Life and Politics in the Aftermath of Anti-Gay Murder,” Beth Loffreda talks about the outcome of a gay young man named Matt Shepard being murdered, and how he became lost in the wake of the movement that followed. Similarly, Jon Krakauer retraces the story of a young man named Chris McCandless who died in the Alaskan wilderness in his piece “Into the Wild.” The death of a person can become gradually more complex based on if it was natural, accidental or murder, if it was sudden, or slow, or if it was intentional. These are things that are easy to tell people, but make a big difference in the story. When writing or reading about a person’s death there are certain limits one comes across where it becomes very complicated to get the right story across. There is a great deal of limitation in writing about a person’s death because it is challenging to get all the correct details. Communicating the story of someone’s death can be complicated because many people lack the experiences to understand the events one goes through before dying and the true story often gets obscured by a shroud of drivel.…
Dance Team Colonel, Rebecca Espinoza, carries a binder everyday. In it is an attendance sheet, calendar of all the upcoming events, and a practice schedule so that she will know what is occurring every day. It is meant to keep her on track. The binder almost becomes a bible to her. Holding it close as if someone would jump her spontaneously and take her precious binder away from her grasp. She is a senior, and is going to be graduating soon. All of her focus is either on dance, or on school. She carried the weight of the whole team, the pressure of being colonel, the burden of always trying to be perfect for everyone else, and the worry of misguiding her peers and screwing up everything for everyone else that cares about the team.…
On July 9, 1850, President Zachary Taylor died after a brief illness. He had attended a ceremony at the unfinished Washington Monument on July 4. For several hours, the President sat under the blazing sun, listening to various speakers, before he took a walk by the Potomac River and retired to the White House around 4:00pm. There he drank iced water and chilled milk and ate cherries and other fruits. Taylor did not feel well that evening, but conducted business the next day.…
Three words that best describe me are easy going, fun, and talkative. I have chosen these words because these are the things people usually tell me I am. The following beliefs are important to me friends, family, and pets. Five things that I find difficult are math, school, drama, losing someone close, and saying goodbye. I often worry about what’s going on in the world because it could be peaceful in Thunder Bay but in other cities people could be struggling. I am happiest when I am with my boyfriend just hanging out and watching television or when I am with my friends and family out at camp or having a family get together. My family background is very simple I have only ever lived in Thunder Bay. I have 2 brothers, a mom, a step dad, and a biological dad. My education in high school hasn’t been the greatest and I regret a lot of things in the past 3 years with my school. I am hoping to become a hair dresser and open my own hair salon in the future. The only work experience I have had is when I worked at Robin’s Donut’s on Frederica and James street. I worked up front as a cashier and stocked most of the merchandise. One of the hobbies that I spend most of my time doing is singing. I really love and enjoy singing. I started taking lessons 2 years ago and have stuck with it ever since. I also decided to take guitar lessons but I unfortunately gave up on it and sold my guitar during the…

There were multiple reasons that prompted McCandless’ decision; however, if he had planned more and obtained the necessary materials to survive in the wilderness, he could very well still be alive today. Chris made a lot of careless errors on his adventure, and these mistakes foreshadowed an inevitable death that he came to peace with as he said his goodbyes to the people he loved and met along the way.…

On 4 June 1913, Emily Wilding Davison attended the Epsom Derby. As the race was being run, she ran out on to the track and the horse owned by King George V, Anmer, collided with her and she fell to the ground, whereupon she was trampled by its hooves as it too fell. Meanwhile, the jockey, Herbert Jones, was thrown but had his foot caught in the stirrup. The horse did a somersault, got up, and resumed running the race, dragging the unconscious Jones along for a distance before his foot came loose. Bystanders unsuccessfully attempted to revive both Davison and Jones before the pair was carried off by ambulances. Emily Davison’s purpose was unclear and it is unknown whether this was deliberate suicide or just a mere accident.…
