Mrs. Rogers was a diabetic patient who repeatedly had HgbA1C levels higher than the desired range despite frequent medication compliance, exercise, and education on diet.
When a new Nurse Practitioner, George, joined the practice and began seeing Mrs. Rogers, he asked that her husband and four children attend her for the next appointment.
George explained to Mrs. Rogers’s family her needs, condition, and changes essential to her lifestyle in order to get her in improved health. George hoped that by including Mrs. Rogers’s family, who support and love her, in her care, he could improve her compliance, and the health of the entire family.

Goodwin’s memories of the 1950s were very positive, however the family life made growing up somewhat negative. During most of Goodwin’s life, her mother suffered from different illnesses that would cause problems in the household. Most of the time, her mother, Helen, was too sick to have company over, which was very stereotypical during that time. When television came around, the family would host gatherings. When Helen was asked if she could have more gatherings Helen would reply, “but I simply can’t do it. Even now, I am so exhausted just from having everyone here that I’ve got to lie down for a little while” (Goodwin 122). Goodwin’s sister, Jeanne, took many roles that Helen could not because Helen was so sick. Goodwin stated that, “For as long as I can remember, she was a surrogate mother, looking out for me, taking care of me when my mother was sick” (Goodwin 37). Goodwin would recall many stories of Jeanne doing tasks that their mother would do. This made her Goodwin feel embarrassed, which is where the negative
Both Gold Diggers of 1933 (Busby Berkeley, 1933) and Swing Time (George Stevens, 1936) feature the now-infamous Ginger Rogers in two very different roles. In Gold Diggers, she plays a supporting role as the chorus girl Fay Fortune, whereas in Swing Time, she is the top-billed star playing the show business hopeful Penny Carol aside her perennial film and dance partner, Fred Astaire as show business veteran Lucky Garnett. These two Ginger Rogers roles provide insight into the socioeconomic roles women played in the societal landscape of the 1930s. By analyzing the same actress in two roles, one leading and one supporting, in two film musicals produced three years apart, we can isolate exactly what characteristics were fit for a leading lady at that point in film history. Upon close examination, many of the changes made from the supporting role of Fay to the leading role of Penny can boil down to two overarching themes: sexual repression and heterosexual coupling.
The story Social work in the ER by Ogden Rogers was an eye opening read because, the medical field has always fascinated me. The idea of social workers, and medical professionals working together is interesting to me. Dr. Rodgers job in the ER seems to be both sad, but also self-fulfilling. He was able to switch from telling a family member their love one has passed, to aiding a lost teenager to a way out of trouble.

Diabetes develops when an individual’s body cannot properly produce or respond to insulin. In a normal functioning body, after food is consumed it is converted into glucose, or sugar, that the body will use for energy. When the body is not able to appropriately respond to the glucose it builds up in blood and can create complex health complications such as a diabetic coma or even premature death. The HbA1C is a blood test a doctor uses to determine an individual’s blood sugar control over a ninety day time period as well as to make an accurate diagnosis of diabetes. The red blood cells carry oxygen from an individual’s lungs to other cells within the body. When sugar is elevated it will attach to hemoglobin and the higher concentration noted in the blood cells results in decreased control and the individual is said to have and a greater risk of severe health complications (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2013).

The home nurse Visit for Mrs. E.B. was definitely needed, it is important that she gets the proper nutrients in her diet so she can live a healthy life. I’m also glad that Esmeralda was added to the pet meals on wheels program. I think a multivitamin is a great idea that ensures Mrs. E.B. will get some source of nutrients in her diet. Although the vitamin improves Mrs. E.B.’s diet I don’t think it is enough she should be getting vitamins from the foods she eats as well. She, however, doesn’t eat that much and drinks multiple glasses of wine every night. I think Mrs. E. B’s nutritional problems are improved however I do not think they are solved she needs to actually eat the meals provided to her and cut out the wine and coffee.

Please know that I am blessed beyond words that you have chosen to read my book out of the millions out there vying for your attention. Thank you very much. I truly hope that you enjoy reading my first published book. My passion is to win lost souls to Christ. I have a burden, burning deep within my heart to compel others to salvation. Spreading the Word of God is something I must do, even if I have to just live on bread and water alone. And if all the forces of hell defy me regarding my call to evangelize, teach and preach the Gospel; still I must obey God. Living a life totally surrendered unto Him is my soul purpose and nothing is more important to me.
This woman reached out to a doctor who specializes in this and trusted him completely with her life. She remained a runner and changed her diet routine and eventually cured herself of her cancer. Later on, she won a gold medal for completing an iron man marathon; how much more inspiring can a person be? After watching this film I genuinely want to change my habits and become the best version of myself. As I stated previously, I have had issues with weight since a very young age. I have a disease called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome which is a hormonal deficient illness. As a result of this disease, I am insulin resistant, gain weight extremely easily and have a very high risk of infertility. I have tried every single diet that I have heard in my life time and I never see results. After watching this film I am excited to begin to change my life and begin eating whole foods and cut out meats and dairy. I cannot wait to see the health benefits that will ensue.
