The 911 operator, Christi, handled the emergency in a professional manner and, she remained focus on getting information out of Jeffery to see if his father Johnny was breathing. I know for sure Christi’s heart consumed with emotions because her co-workers husband was at deaths door. Furthermore, when a family member and close friend calls for assistance during an emergency, as an EMD professional you must remain focus on the safety and health of the caller. Sheila’s life is now comes to a halt and her profession as a 911 operator will never prepare her for the loss of the love of her life. Life and death is difficult to fathom, therefore, we must put into perspective that as an EMD professional you are not immune to tragedy at

Since this incident have ended in a catastrophe, as a result to the mistakes that the two paramedic have made. Other EMT workers would of have bring all of their equipment out on scene and would have not told Rodriguez to do her part as well. To give standard of care, as an EMT worker is the common practice of what an EMT worker should do. What I think what should have been done is that the EMT workers should have everything prepared and ready to be used on scene except for waiting and using the equipment later on in the
The nurses did not act as sentries towards the patient or the family. They did not protect the patient’s choice to die in peace, instead they just let the doctor jump in into the situation and try to resuscitate her even though she did not want that.The nurses should have stepped in and asked the frazzled husband what he wants the nurses and doctor to do. Not let the doctor yell at him until he is forced to allow it.
In the first stanza it is the semantic field of water: ‘waters’ (twice), ‘sea’, ‘drowning’ and ‘being drawn’. As I mentioned earlier, water is often the symbol of life but it also evokes tears, sadness and despair.
Lorna Dee Cervantes' poem, “Poema para los Californios Muertos” (“Poem for the Dead Californios”), is a commentary on what happened to the original inhabitants of California when California was still Mexico, and an address to the speaker's dead ancestors. Utilizing a unique dynamic, consistently alternating between Spanish and English, Cervantes accurately represents the fear, hatred, and humility experienced by the “Californios” through rhythm, arrangement, tone, and most importantly, through use of language.
In this context, I believe that the fruit being cut down symbolizes that Ha is leaving South Vietnam too soon, before she is ready, just as the papaya is cut down before it is ready. I believe this because in the poem “Wet and Crying,” Ha says, “My biggest papaya is light yellow, still flecked with green.” This shows that the papaya is not quite ripe and ready to be picked, just like Ha is not yet ready to leave her home country. Furthermore, in the same poem, Ha says “Brother Vu chops; the head falls; a silver blade slices.” I believe that, judging from the word choice that the author uses, Ha thinks of this as an execution of sorts. I believe this because of the words the author uses such as “Chop” and “The head falls.” This shows that Ha
In Natasha Trethewey’s poetry collection Native Guard, the reader is exposed to the story of Trethewey’s growing up in the southern United States and the tragedy which she encountered during her younger years, in addition to her experiences with prejudice and to issues surrounding prejudice within the society she is living in. Throughout this work, Trethewey often refers to graves and provides compelling imagery regarding the burial of the dead. Within Trethewey’s work, the recurring imagery surrounding graves evolves from the graves simply serving as a personal reminder of the past, to a statement on the collective memory of society and comments on how Trethewey is troubled with what society has forgotten as it signifies a willingness to overlook the dehumanization of a large group of people.
Written shortly after the conclusion of the second world war, Sylvia Plath published ‘Daddy’ to great controversy, with critics denouncing the poem’s many insensitive uses of Holocaust imagery. ‘Daddy’ is not, however, a poem that minimizes the tremendous atrocities endured by the Jewish people, but rather enlarges the reader’s understanding of how devastating are the effects of abuse by parallelizing the suffering of the Jews with the psychological trauma of abuse.
Daddy's Eyes I'll tell you what you wanna know, But boy you better listen close. People gonna tell you lies, Don't let it come as a surprise.

I have been struggling with this assignment all week. I want to have sympathy for Melissa Johnson’s tragic “accident”, however I find it difficult. Let me start by saying I am beyond sorry for the loss this family, including Ms. Johnson, has suffered. There is nothing worse for a parent than to suffer the loss of a child, particularly when your decision led to their death. The loss of any life is tragic, and the loss of a 14-year old child at the hands or her mother’s irresponsible choice is all that more poignant. Having formerly worked as an EMT both in the fire service and on an ambulance, I have seen first-hand the devastation these choices can leave in their wake. That being said, I do feel that the penalty Ms. Johnson received was
Father Cry was a heart-felt narration told by Billy Wilson. His story focuses on the absence of fathers and reflects on an era that is shouting out for the actual presents of fathers and mothers. It helps the readers recognize the need for parents and how that role is crucial in the development of human life. The book depicts how Christians need to venture up as otherworldly moms and fathers to the cutting edge. However, I was profoundly moved even from the first section as I read about the 'crying era', and as I kept on understanding I discovered new disclosure of God's adoration even in my own life. Sympathy was mixed in my heart, and as my heart broke for the broken era I discovered myself needing to share God's affection to the individuals
Poetry can be divided up into different forms, more easily expressing an author’s emotions and intent with their poetry. For analyzing purposes I chose the poems Self-Help by Michael Ryan, Ghazal by Agha Shahid Ali, Psalm 150 by Jericho Brown, and Emergency by Michael Dylan Welch.
I’ve killed two-- The vampire who said he was you”. The powerful imagery of these
Some of the poems and essays I have read during this class were relatable to me. Being away from college, I have struggled with not being at home. I have become a different person when I am at school, but when I am home, I feel like I am my normal self again. Some of these authors of the poems and essays that I have read throughout this class has struggled with being somewhere where they don’t belong and that they are someone else when they are not home. Unlike the other poems and essays we have read throughout the course. I enjoyed reading the ones about “home” because I actually understood what they are going through and that I can relate. Some of these poems and essays include “Going Home” by Maurice Kenny, Postcard from Kashmir”, by Agha Shahid Ali, “Returning” by Elias Miguel Munoz and “Hometown” by Luis Cabalquinto. All of these poems deal with duality.
