“Beep... Beep.... Beep…”, the machine goes as my 7 year old Angie is connected to so many cord and wires. All theses machines connected to her just to keep her alive. She is my only daughter, my only child and the only family i have. “ Daddy”, Trembled my poor or Angie, “Where are we”. “Its gonna be all right”, I said comforting, assuring her that everything was gonna be all right. I had to hold back the tears as she drifted back to sleep. As the ventilator caused her chest to go up and down as she breathed, I thought back to what had happened. - The day before - So today i am helping Angie and her classmates get ready for her teacher's surprise birthday party. She is coming in 15 minutes after the bell because we asked for the principle …show more content…
to call her for something. Angie's teacher thinks all us parents are just helping for today's activities. So we have all the supplies and all of us parents and kids are setting everything up. Thirteen minutes in, we get a call from the principle saying she is on her way. Just as the door opens to reveal Mrs. Becker, we hear a gunshot. She immediately runs in and locks the door. “Get the desks and chairs to block the door”, Mrs. Becker demanded. After a couple of minutes of blocking the door with desks and chairs, we hear three more gunshots. “All children get in the cabinets”, i quickly snapped. The kids ran rapidly to the cabinet shoving themselves as fast as they can into the cabinets and throwing everything in the cabinets out of it. “Whats going on “, trembled Angie. I did not want to say anything that to get the children worried but before i could say anything the all call came on. “There is an intruder on the campus I repeat there is an intru- “. At that very moment we hear the life of someone, who was only trying to help us, get their life taken. As the all call was still on , we heard the lifeless body drop to the floor. Not long after we heard pounding on the classroom about two doors over. That classroom was not fortunate to have much things to block the door, so in about a minute we heard a door slam as well as gunshots shooting at innocent lives. After a few moments slams open two more doors again killing innocent people. Now it was time to panic. “Whats going on, are we all gonna be all right”, questioned a panicked mother. To assure her i immediately grab a large desk to shield us parents from the shooter. In about three short minutes the shooter gets their way through the wall of desks and chairs. The shooter looks familiar, I soon realize that the shooter is my ex girlfriend Christina, Angie's mom. “Where’s Derek”, boomed Christina. Oh no she is looking for me. All i do was confront her. Why was she here, she is crazy. “Why are you doing this”, I said. “Because you took my daughter away from me”. I could feel all the eyes of the parents staring at me. “You were not fit to be a mother, you're suppose to be in jail!”, As i replied one of the children tipped open the cabinet. “Who’s that”, hissed christina. All at once kids tumble out of the cabinets. Not knowing what was going on christina shot three times at the cabinets. In the last shot we heard a cry. At that moment one of the dads tackled Christina and got the gun out of her hold. As that was happening another parent called the police as the dad had Christina so she could not escape. Soon after I ran over to the puddle of blood, to identify the child. Suddenly i could not breathe, my face turned red, my hands were sweating and i was shaking. “Daddy, what's going on”, stuttered Angie. The bullet had gone through her chest right next to her heart. One of the parents, who was a doctor, got a cloth and put pressure on the wound to keep it from bleeding. Before long the police and an ambulance arrived. I tried to stop thinking of what happened. “Derek, we need to speak with you, alone”, the doctor said while interrupting my thought. “The bullet Christina shot was from a handmade gun, and who ever made it did not make a clean bullet”. I knew this was going bad. “The bullet has infected a patch of tissue on the heart causing the heart to get very weak”.
"The good news is we can the tissue and take the bullet out, but its going to cost a couple thousand dollars because your insurence doesnt cover heart surgery and we have to do the the surgery right away. So are you going to go through with the procedure”, questioned the doctor. I was obviously going to go through with the procedure , but i am not a wealthy man so this might empty my bank account. “Yes of course”, i replied. “Good, lets taker her to New York”, marveled the doctor. Its crazy flying from california to new york, when ive never even been out of california. In about seven hours we finally made it too new york, it was beautiful and this was the best hospital in all the states. They rushed Angie in with three times the wires on her than before. “Whe have to take her into the or now, her heart rate is going too fast”, called the doctor. As im waiting outside the operation room i see the best heart surgeon in the country, alexandra reed, walking in the or confident and ready to save my angie. The doctor said it would take about six …show more content…
hours since the bullet was infecting other parts of the tissue on the heart.
After two hours of waiting, a lady with dark brown hair, and hazel brown eyes runs into the hospital with a little child about three or four years old in her arms. The blanket with the child in it is covered in blood. As the hospital rushes kid into an operation room, the mother im assuimg, paced back and forth. After a couple of minutes of waiting, i decided to ask her what had happened. “Was that your kid”, I asked. “Yea, thats my daughter Kyra”, she replied. “I have a daughter to, her names Angie and shes in the or right now”. “What happened to your daughter”, i added. “We were walking through the park when some guy came and started shooting and then the stupid guy shot my daughter right in her chest next to her heart tissue. What happned to your daughter Angie?”, she said. “My ex girlfriend shot up my daughters school and shot Angie right next to her heart just like Kyra, but the bullet infected the tissue on the heart”, I replied. As we talked for about two more hours the doctor walked in. “Mr. Garzo, we need to speak privately. Angies surgery has been succesfful and shell be out by tommorrow, but be easyon her and dont let her put too much pressure where her heart
is”. After the doctor told me everything I went to go tell my new friend Tina. As I walked towards her, she look very sad. “Whats the matter”, i asked. “They said that Kyra has a 40% chance of surving because the bullet has damaged too much tissue on the heart”, she stuttered. I didnt know how to reply to her. “How long till the surgery is done”, I said. “Two more hours”. So i waited with Tina as the surgery went on. We talked about many things, two hours later the doctor comes out to ask to talk to Tina. Not long after Kyra comes into the room on her rolling bed. She survied, I could see the happiness on both Kyra and Tina’s face. Both our daughter had to stay in the hospital for another day. So Tina and I decided to go get something to eat together. I really enjoyed Tina, and Angie adored her daughter Kyra. - One year later - I love living with Tina and kyra, they are the perfcet family for Angie and I. Tina and I plan on getting married next month in California. I love staying in New York but we decided to do the wedding in me and Angie’s home state. I love New York, but i missed california for a while til i remembered all the good in New York. “Ready to go”, asked Tina. Today we are going to Disney World with Angie and Kyra. They love being sisters and now we have a baby on the way. We are naming him Aiden, picked by Kyra and Angie. We all packed into the car and drove to the airport. After three hours we finally made it. We spent the whole day there, and it was one of the best days of my life. The kids were knocked out before we even got to our hotel and not to long after we fell asleep too. We had to wake up at six in the morning to catch our flight and let me tell you none of us are morning people. After 20 minutes of trying to get us all up we got packed in the car for our two hour trip to the airport. After about a hour of driving we were blocked by cars and there was a car coming very fast behind us. The person behind us was not paying attention and was not slowing down. In about a minute i felt the force of the other car hit us from the behind. Our car instantly collided with with the intersecting cars. I felt our car flip and smash into something, and shortly after i was lifted into an ambulance. As i was carried into the the ambulance i heard a faint beeep as i drifted off to sleep.

Intro: The Hippocratic Oath clearly states, “I will not give a drug that is deadly to anyone if asked [for it], nor will I suggest the way to such counsel.”Steven Miles, a professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School published an article, “The Hippocratic Oath,” expressing that doctors must uphold the standards of the Hippocratic Oath to modern relevance. Euthanasia continues as a controversial policy issue. Providing resourceful information allows us to recognize what is in the best interest for patients and doctors alike. Today, I will convince you that physician-assisted suicide should be illegal. The United States must implement a policy stopping the usage of euthanasia for the terminally ill. I will provide knowledge of
Deathgiver remembered all what happened and who he was. Mr. Deathgiver told him to go home and he couldn’t help him and said he had not known about his dad. The Indian Killer pulled out his gun and said “You killed my dad and I will kill you!” Mr. Deathgiver cried “You have killed my whole family and my parents!!” The Indian Killer was confused and said “And how did I do that?” Mr. Deathgiver said “All the gunfights you’ve been through, YOU KILLED MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND NOW I KILL YOU!” The Indian Killer tried to elude but he couldn’t, it was dark outside just as dark as his soul. Mr. Deathgiver had already directed his gun at The Indian Killer. The Indian Killer said “STOP, please, I beg of you!!” Mr. Deathgiver shot but missed, so he continued to shoot until he ran out of bullets. Just then The Indian Killer took out his gun and shot Mr. Deathgiver in his leg. Mr. Deathgiver walked into his house like a centipede with 98 missing legs. Mr. Deathgiver's friend came out and said “Why you did this to friend me?!” His friends vocabulary was as bad as, like,

Today I am going to be choosing diabetes for my medical topic. There are several types of diabetes. There is type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestastional diabetes. Our body naturally produce insulin and but sometimes there are cases where are body doesn’t produce enough insulin or does not properly respond to the insulin produced which results in high blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels is not healthy for our bodies because it can lead to us going into a coma. If this is left untreated it can cause very serious health problems including death.
Type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition occurring in adults over 45 years but is now increasing in younger age groups such as children, adolescents and young adults. With type 2 diabetes the body becomes resistant and the insulin gradually loses that capacity to produce enough insulin to the pancreas. Diabetes is the fastest growing chronic condition in Australia. The numbers with people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is increasing. In the past year more than 100,000 people have been diagnosed with diabetes. (https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/diabetes-in-australia) The numbers with people having type 2 diabetes is increasing in children mainly because they are not getting the right about of exercise each day, and eating incorrectly. This is happening because of the all the new electronic gadgets. This is concerning because this disease is taking memorable years from that person’s life. An idea for treatment could be that kids and adults should manage their life style more by eating healthier and doing more exercise. They could also go to the doctors and have
The woman lay on the table as she had been told to do. Pancoast¹s six medical students-all young men- stood around her body. Pancoast anesthetized the woman with chloroform. He took the receptacle into which one of his students had masturbated. With a hard rubber syringe, he inserted the student¹s semen into her uterus. He then plugged her cervix with gauze.

There once was a man named Franswah, and he had a wife named Keisha. They both lived in Keithville, Atlanta. They had a little girl named Jasmine, she was twelve years of age and she attended Ghettoville Jr. High School in the seventh grade. Keisha never did like doing anything, so her husband Franswah decided to go out and have an affair with a lady named Shay. Franswah and Shay worked at a law firm together. Shay was his assistant, she always helped him with things and they always went to lunch together. So some nights he never came home or either he came in late. Keisha was never the type of person to just argue, she mainly just questioned him to see what the response would be and she left it alone until the next morning. So one night when he came in he had a funny odor and Keisha asked him what was up with the smell, he told her that he had been working out and got sweaty. Their daughter Jasmine had very high blood pressure, so most of the time she didn’t go to school because of her condition and she stayed ill. Keisha had a younger sister named Ashley, she is the rowdy type that doesn’t care and will tell anybody anything. Keisha was telling her sister about Franswah coming in late, having a odor on him and don’t want to be questioned. So one day when Ashley was over there and he walked in she confronted him and told him if she find out that’s its that he’s cheating on her she was gone handle it. So he got mad and started hollering at Keisha for telling her sister about what was going on in their relationship.

Keisha answers the phone and it was another lady’s voice, and she asked to speak to Franswah. So she asked her who is calling and she told her that it was Franswah’s baby mother. Everyone is in shock, so Ashley gets on the phone and started getting rowdy. Ashley was asking her different questions like how old is the baby, where she live, and where did Franswah and her meet.

Today in the United States, there are numerous amounts of people who are waiting for some form of a transplant. Studies show that if you were to ask a group of people if they know someone who has either had a transplant or is currently waiting for one, statistics would show that most people would reply that they do know of such a person. Sadly, the need for organ donation is much larger than the number of people who sign up to donate their organs in the case of their death. According to The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, "Every day in the United States 17 people die waiting for an organ and more than 80,000 men, women, and children wait for life-saving organ transplants." Choosing to be an organ donor is a much needed, valuable thing for those patients who are waiting for those lifesaving transplants.
You are living life right now unaware, unaware of the little time you have remaining to really enjoy your life. On average, we will live roughly about 28,835 days not accounting for factors such as diet or living conditions. We spend approximately 5,475 days in school and including all the other things we do such as; sleeping, eating/drinking, working, traveling, watching tv, household activities, bathing and community activities, we only have 2740 days remaining. 2740 days days to socialize, build a family, do recreational activities and honestly, thats not a lot of time. Life may be the longest thing you will experience but you should not take it for granted because whether you know it or not, your life is important. You do not realize the impact that you have on the people surrounding you so if you ever feel worthless or unwanted, you are wrong. Starting from the day you are born, till the day you die, you should try and make every day, every moment, count.
