There was a strong pungent of disinfectants and rubbing alcohol as she was rushed into the lobby. Crying out her last breath to express her agonizing pain as she lied down on the cold gurney. The nurses in a light blue uniform quickly arrived as several doctors in long white gowns rushed to the scene. Her mother was by her side, holding her hands as tight as she could, as the nurses pushed the agitating gurney towards the automatic doors. Soon her visions blurred and as the world turned into a tint of pink and red. As her vision slowly darkened, she solely relied on the touch of her mother’s warm hand and her soothing voice. Notwithstanding the tight grip of her mother’s hands, they was soon torn apart. Fear took over her body as she cried even louder. The sudden yet rhythmic beep was the last memory she could recall. It was March 5th. She had punctured the retina of her left eye and required extensive emergency surgeries over several months lasting up to a year. She was the youngest child in the intensive care department of ophthalmology at the time. She became very close with all the nurses, doctors and even the next door neighboring pirates; they all had a patch over their eyes for protection. To the three year-old, the hospital was her second home, playground, school, and hell. After a year of progressive observation and improvement followed by several more operations, the doctors notified her parents that there still was a possibility where she could no longer see the
In 2006 a young and slightly theatrical Julianna Klimeck was begrudgingly brought to the hospital after two days of incessantly bellyaching that her right eye was bothering her. Soon after, her parents, who had originally only made the trip in a desperate attempt to silence their often-overdramatic little girl’s conniption, were horrified to find out that their 8 year old had sliced her cornea. If they had thought their daughter’s “tantrum” before was unbearable, nothing could prepare them for the hysterics she would burst into when the ophthalmologist walked into the emergency room and announced that there was a fair chance that she could go blind in her right eye permanently.
There are times in our life when each of us has fallen ill. Many of us immediately consult the doctors. Our faith appears to have disappeared. As diligently members of the church, we do not stop to consulting God for His medical assistance. We can all identify with the woman with the issue of blood and how she spent all she had before she meet up with Jesus and just by reaching out and touching just the hem of His garment. She was made whole. Hezekiah quickly turns to the wall and consults God for a miraculous healing immediately. God extended His life just like that. We must gather ourselves and remember where all of our help comes from and that is the Lord. As, the trials of life comes about, we are waiting on the Lord. The fact of the
There has been a terrible accident, your head is crushed and you are fighting for your life, but “they” know you won’t make it. The doctor should also be fighting for your life, but he isn’t. You realize this is no accident. This is a partial birth abortion. You are not a patient of the clinic, you are simply a fetus. Abortion, in today’s society, has almost become second nature. Women all around the world are aborting children because they “aren’t ready”. Norma McCorvey, better known as Jane Roe, was the defendant in the 1973 United States Supreme Court Case Roe v. Wade. That landmark case established a woman’s right to have an abortion, but it created serious implications for right to life in America.
Today while talking with my friend about this, she told me that both her son’s eyes are lazy. He is five, and he has trouble looking at things straight, and he has to tip his head back to see things straight. Now that he is five he should be ready for his surgery. I think that it would have been interesting to know someone that did. When she talked about the prism she had to get in her glasses, I use to have that. Mine was not that bad, but it was so weird looking through my glasses. After wearing them for over four years, now I do not wear them at all. It took me a while to get use to them. When reading this story I was trying to picture what it would be like looking through her eyes, and what she was missing. My feeling about when she was a baby, and the doctor said it would fix itself, was upsetting. Sue’s parents, even though at the time this was the best advice for them, they could have had a second opinion. As Sue got older she started doing a great deal of work with eye exercises. She was doing taxing fusion exercises for twenty minutes a day, and with doing this she started to perceive depth at a greater distance. It is really wonderful that she went and researched her eye conditions and took the steps to fix
One day, while sitting in one of the St. Luke hospital rooms in downtown Boise, a nurse had softly knocked on the door after Mom had clicked a red button on the side of Anthony’s bed that had called her. The nurse, dressed in blue scrubs, entered quietly, noticing my brother was asleep before making her way over to the machine that was currently emitting a loud, monotonous beep. After stopping the annoying sound and changing the IV bag hanging off of the rack on the machine, she looked over at Mom, exchanging a few words with her that caught my interest.

September 11, 2001 is a day that will forever live in every American’s mind. The terrorist attack that took nearly 3,000 lives was highly publicized, many channels played live footage of New York City as the Twin Towers were attacked. Watching the violence firsthand caused people across the nation to become incredibly invested in what had occurred. Americans felt violated; The notion of safety and freedom at home was wrenched away the moment that American Airlines flight 11 crashed into the North Tower. Unsettled and confused people across America utilized the new resources offered to them through the rising digital age, and consumed every bit of information shared on the attacks in an attempt to make sense of such a seemingly senseless act of violence. Internet usage skyrocketed in the week following the attack, numbers rose from 6 million visitors to news sites a day to 11.7 million (Glass, 2008). Many television channels offered “‘wall to wall’ coverage” for 90 hours during and after the attacks (Denton, 2004). Media outlets served as the most direct form of information for most Americans following the attack, and as such they garnered much control over how the situation was interpreted by their audience. This lead to many networks attempting to be more careful about how they presented the news, worrying about everything from the implications of wearing “flag pins and ribbons” during broadcasts to the terminology used to refer to the attackers (Denton, 2004).

Running through the hospitals long white halls, he thought that his mom was going to die. The paramedics were right in front of him, but it felt as if they were a thousand miles away.

He fell onto his knees, in front of him the white floor had droplets of blood that was coming out of his mother. Time passes, the boy laying on the floor, motionless, Just looking at the flickering light above. I’ve found the boy, over. Bring him to O.R. #3. Gotcha.
“Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope” (Annan). In our world today, literacy has become an imperative driving force in determining the level of success and adaptability of a child to a nation. It is a step in the right direction towards tapping into the endless opportunities and potentials that lay beneath the surface. And research has it that a country economic standing relies heavily on its literacy rate and vice versa, but one country that has proved that wrong is Cuba. Although Cuba currently holds a reputable global standing as one of the best educational systems in the world, this didn 't come about without its fair share of struggles resulting from its diplomatic crisis with the United States. The US-Cuba relations is one that statistically should have resulted in the collapse of the Cuban social and economic systems unless resolved, but notwithstanding they maintained independence from the influences of tyrannical governments and it has provided its people and the world with the ability to recognize the importance of literacy and education in the advancement of a country 's economy.
Once we finally arrived at the home of the injured, it had felt as if a million years had passed by in a flash. I felt a cold slap in the face from Mother Nature’s wavering hand, forcing me to continue on with this horrid journey. Empathy passed though my soul as if it were an unrested spirit trying to seek assistance from someone. Then, I felt only a pinch of what others were feeling; they had it really rough in these headquarters. A stranger swiftly approaches my mother and speaks to her in a hurriedly fashion. That same person instantly began ushering us into a room from there I would be treated. A doctor and his assistants came at me with certainty plastered on their faces; instantly a glass of a mysterious liquid was poured into my open wound, sending pain to penetrate my body. I was soon notified that the tender agony was only water; however, it felt like lava was melting me, from the inside out. All the while, my open wound was bound for anyone to access and view it. Pain took hold of my soul as the liquid penetrates my power over the situation. The next thirty minutes passed in a blur of distress and squirming in my seat from such

Surina’s black clogs clicked on the faux marble flooring as she went to the information kiosk adjacent to the totem pole. A timeworn man directed her to the Medical Director’s office next to a waiting room in front of the totem pole. Due to the early hour, there were only a few patients in the lobby. After going through another set of sliding glass doors, she checked in with a septuagenarian at the front desk about her seven o’clock appointment with the Medical Director.
