DeJesus taken part in numerous organizations, but he has also impacted Florida through medical improvements. A writer, Billy Manes, wrote an article based on the statements of Dr. DeJesus for a newspaper Watermark (one of the few columns Dr. DeJesus has appeared in), and has titled this article “New PrEP test in Orlando seeks to make LGBTQ life easier, safer”. The medication PrEP is, “... anti-HIV medication that keeps HIV negative people from becoming infected.” (What is PrEP?).

Dak Prescott and Jared Goff are two of the most anticipated rookies coming into the 2016 season, and both seem to be making a lot of attention with their two teams. Dak Prescott was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 2016 NFL Draft with the 135th overall pick. Jared Goff, on the other hand; was the 1st overall pick. Dak Prescott was meant to be a player that could be used in the future; Tony Romo was meant to be the presumptive starting QB, but he is predicted to miss 6 – 10 weeks with a broken bone in his back, so Prescott will fill in for him. Dak Prescott is now scheduled to be the starting QB in the Cowboys first regular season game against the New York Giants. A lot of people anticipated that Goff would start for the Los Angeles Ram
“Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art,” said Josef Mengele, comparing science to an art. He was less of an artist and more of a curious, debatably crazy, doctor. He was a scientist in Nazi Germany. In general, there was a history of injustice in the world targeting a certain race. When Mengele was around, there were very few medical regulations, so no consent had to be given for doctors to take patients’ cells and other tests done on the patients’ bodies without their consent. This was the same time that Henrietta Lacks lived. Henrietta Lacks was an African American woman who went to the doctor because she had cervical cancer. Her cells were taken and are still alive in culture today (Skloot 41). Hence, her cells were nicknamed Immortal (Skloot 41). Although many, at the time, saw no issue with using a patient without consent issue with what?, on numerous occasions since then courts have determined that having consent is necessary for taking any cells. The story of Henrietta lacks is has similarities to an episode of Law and Order titled Immortal, which is an ethical conundrum. Despite this, the shows are not exactly the same and show differences between them. Both of these stories, one supposedly fictional, can also be compared to the injustices performed by Josef Mengele in Nazi Germany.
When we see patients, we must remember that we are not simply treating a disease. We are caring for people with lives, hobbies, jobs, families, and friends, who are likely in a very vulnerable position. We must ensure that we use the status of physicians to benefit patients first and foremost, and do what we promised to when we entered the profession: provide care and improve quality of life, and hopefully leave the world a little better than it was

My passion and admiration for the healthcare field began during my teenage years, when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis—a chronic, autoimmune disease affecting various joints throughout my body. As I went through years of treatment, my physician and other medical professionals were instrumental in helping me to maintain a positive attitude after my diagnosis. Their care was the impetus for my future goals, as I saw the genuine goodness that they felt from helping others. As a result of all the medical help and emotional support that I received from these medical providers throughout my youth, I have chosen to pursue a career in the service of others through the public health field.
As physicians, we are foundations for our patients. We become sources of strength and emotional security for them, in trying times. We do more than fix others back to health (spotting signs of illness, giving diagnoses, drugs or treatment). We must understand the concerns of those we help and be there for our patients—through pain and sorrow. ================
I shadowed a primary care physician (PCP), a cardiologist, and a General surgeon in Little Rock. I was introduced to triaging, monitoring patient diets, and transitioning from diagnosis to treatment. These experiences exposed me to some of the immense responsibilities of doctors. Through my experience shadowing Dr. Richard Jackson, I learned the necessity of compassion in a physician and that it is as important as medical procedures. I observed him putting a colostomy bag on a seven-year-old girl diagnosed with colon cancer. When she recovered from surgery, he noticed she was sad and scared about the colostomy bag. He comforted her by telling stories of many other children who also had colostomy bags at a young age and finished his conversation by making funny faces at her. This made her happy and her smile expressed joy and the beauty of being alive. It taught me that a patient’s emotional health is as important as their physical health, and both factors need to be considered when providing care. This shadowing experience enabled me to see what it is like to be as a practicing physician and further reinforced my desire to be a
Healthcare is intriguing. The health and wellness of people always has been intriguing and always will be. My background in healthcare came as an environmental pass down with a father as a Registered Nurse and a mother in healthcare management. It was inevitable that the journey of healthcare started being instilled without my knowledge of it, as a young child. A constant learning in the health sciences and management directed my way. By the start of college, the intrigue lead to compassion, lighting a fire for the administration of healthcare. This calling spurred by a great woman, my mother, who is a national redesign award winner by the Bureau of Primary Healthcare in Health Disparities. These footsteps down her similar path with careful guidance, but not to be confused with an easy path.
Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale is a common good man who is looked after by all. He is described as inspirational and a man of good faith. He's the last person to be deemed a sinner. Despite his reputation as a minister, Dimmesdale is secretly tormented by the shame and guilt of the affair with Hester.

...epersonalized. Although not every patient is easy to deal with and doctors are under colossal pressure, by inspiring students with a possible future in the medical field to get involved with type of community service early we can ameliorate the distressing situation. Coming into contact with, speaking to, and intimately understanding these incredible individuals can dramatically alter one’s perspective and ensure treatment with self respect and dignity. I strongly believe in this notion of early involvement. My changed view coupled with my future medical training in college will allow me to be a figure to emulate and hopefully inspire others to follow this path. By embarking on this monumental journey mankind has the opportunity to shape history and enrich the lives of others while personally experiencing the most rewarding of all endeavors: helping someone in need.
In this paper we are going to discuss the life, work and teachings of Saint Teresa of Avila, Doctor of the Catholic Church. St. Teresa was an important figure in the Church for her reforms of the Carmelite Order. Teresa’s reforms caused a fracture of the Order and formed the Order of Discalced Carmelites, which believes in the old ways of the Carmelite Order. St. Teresa is also well known for her three books.
During my time at Matagorda Episcopal Health Outreach Program, I deeply valued the experience because their five clinics consisted of health professionals (e.g., nurse practitioners, OB/GYN physicians, dentists, psychiatrists, etc.) who embodied a selfness nature towards the underserved, indigent community in Matagorda. MEHOP has a mission “to improve the health status of our clients, providing quality primary health care services along with spiritual care to people in the communities we serve.” The preceding statement attests to the clinic’s unwavering devotion to provide and promote access to the highest quality of health care because they accept all patients without any discrimination towards beliefs, socioeconomic status, and lifestyle.
