A Memorable Event in My Life
A Memorable Event in My Life Sometimes in your life, some events happen that becomes an unforgettable memory for you and which teaches you such lesson that becomes one of the basic guideline in your life. The event that I experienced which taught me a valuable lesson happened when I accompany my grandmother went to hospital to operate her eye. It was a Wednesday morning, everyone had to go to work and went to school. So I went to hospital with my grandmother because I did not have class on that day. Around eight o’clock morning, my uncle came and fetched me went to the hospital. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at the hospital. My uncle left the hospital after he had checked in for my grandmother. Once we had checked in, we were escorted to the room that my grandmother supposed to deliver in. There was a nurse waiting there and helped my grandmother to measure her height, weight and blood pressure. After that, the nurse asked my grandmother to change the cloth and take-off all the rings and bracelets. Then, the nurse took some pills for my grandmother to eat that will help to lower blood pressure and asked her to wait for the turn to do the operation. While waiting for the turn, I took out the book and read. It was my grandmother’s turn after waiting for three hours. When my grandmother was in the operation room, the parents of the patients were asking to go in to a small room. Inside the room, there was a nurse taught us on how to take care of the eye after the operation. The operation was over after an hour. Then, the nurse asked my grandmother to have a rest for half an hour before going back because the patient will feel dizzy after the operation. My uncle came and fetched us going back around seven o’clock.

As a conclusion, I would like to say that it is quite hard to write everything on one sheet of paper as there is so much to say, but it takes a lot of space. Summing up, I could say that this event, in some way,

    That day I learned a lesson no one could teach me. The experience made me want to become a doctor even more and ensure that no one receives that type of treatment. It also taught me that when I become a doctor nothing should prevent me from breaking the Hippocratic oath, and that I must take an oath for myself. The oath being that no matter what background, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity I will treat everyone…

    I was always the visitor, because someone I knew was sick. The emergency room was quite unsettling. I saw people who were in worse condition than me. The lady across from me had a broken neck and the man beside her was vomiting blood. I hate to admit it, but seeing that people there were in worse condition than me was rather comforting. As a result, I did not mind the wait. It took the doctor an hour to see me. He brushed it off as nothing was wrong and it was just a virus, but he sent a nurse to do some bloodwork. A nurse came in and poked me with a needle to draw some blood from me. I was kind of scared of getting my result back, because I was still adamant that I was dying. The nurse came back and casually told me that my blood work was abnormal. I was having a meltdown inside, but I kept a calm composure. She said that another nurse would come in and perform an EKG on me. The EKG nurse arrived and wasted no time in hooking a bunch of cold wires to my chest to check the electrical activity of my heart. Turns out my heart was not beating normally either. I thought to myself “What else could possibly go wrong?”. I had thought that question to soon. The nurse with a smile continued to tell me that the doctor thinks I have a pulmonary embolism. She further explained that basically means I have a blood clot in my lung, but it was highly unlikely that at my age I had it. My mom asked her what could have possibly caused a…

    The most memorable time in my life was my daughter's cleft palate surgery. It was January 4th when my daughter and I had to leave El Paso, TX to take a trip to Austin, TX. It was a long drive for a little baby like her at the time she was only two years old. Early that morning my parents took us to the bus station.The bus was leaving at 6 a.m. in the morning to get to Austin, TX at midnight. My daughter and I felt it was the longest drive ever as the bus was very full and kept stopping. Finally, we arrived to Austin at midnight. I had to walk around for some time until I found a cab to take us to the hotel. I was scared and nervous. I was all alone with my daughter in a city we didn't know. We arrived to the hotel and finally felt safe and some peace. As soon as we walked in the room, I called my family and let them know we were good.…

    Early in our trip to the Mason City hospital, I talked to my mom on the phone. I felt extremely bad for my mom because I knew that her worst nightmare was that I get seriously injured. I told her on the phone that I was okay and that it didn’t hurt at all, doing my best to calm her down. The EMT that was in the back with my dad and I put in the IV needle and started giving me pain killers. My head felt glued to the stretcher. I just laid perfectly still and felt my body relax. My only job was to tell the EMT if I could feel him pinching my toes, which was slowly getting lighter and lighter. Once the ambulance arrived at the hospital everything happened in the blink of an eye. I was pushed along to the ER where I met my mom and the rest of my family. The reunion was short lived, because soon after I arrived, a doctor kicked them all out and popped my ankle back into place. The pain came as a shock, but the medicine quickly took over and soon I was painless again. They wrapped my ankle up to prevent motion and rolled me into a room to stay the night. Bright and early the next morning the nurses woke me up and prepared me for surgery. I was exhausted and did my best to follow their directions, but as soon as I hit the operating table, I was out. I opened my eyes and I was back in the room I spent the night in. I fell in and out of sleep for the next couple of hours until I was fully recovered. The nurses brought me some crutches and told me I was good to leave. I was amazed at how they were just going to let me go, but I did not hesitate to get out of…
