She does not want John to go to his father's house to check on him because she does not want to be left alone in the house when there is a snowstorm is taking place outside. Ann feels neglected and isolated "Seven years a farmer's wife - it's about time o was used to staying alone" (Ross 289). When John leaves feelings of isolation come over Ann and the feeling of isolation is mirrored in the story by the snowstorm that traps her in the house. Ann's feeling of isolation is also that she is completely alone in her house and the closest person is two hours away and she knows she can't leave her house because if she did she wouldn't make it. As the storm grows in strength so does Ann's sense of isolation 'The silence now seemed more intense than ever, seemed to have reached a pitch when it faintly moaned" (Ross 293).

To help explain the different sociological approaches to health and ill health I will be referring to the case study of Aziz and Tamsela. Aziz and Tamsela have four young children; Tamsela’s elderly parents also live with them in their three bedroomed houses in a deprived and depressing area of London. Their house is in desperate need of repair; it is damp and due to this is very expensive to heat in the winter months. Aziz and Tamsela are both currently unemployed. The family also has very ill health; during the winter the children generally seem to have constant colds.
Medication errors performed by health care professionals are the most common type of injury resulting in patient harm and death. According to "U.S. Food And Drug Administration" (2014), a medication error is "any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of the health care professional, patient, or consumer (para. 1). This paper further discusses a critical regulatory issue in health care relating to a case law, which sent a pharmacist to jail for a medication error that led to the death of a child. In February 2006, Emily Jerry, a two-year old child was at a Cleveland hospital to complete her last series of chemotherapy treatment.
Picoult continues on this theme of “saving” by using Suzanne as Sara’s crutch, as she makes her coffee each morning and informs her of any missed phone calls. While in the hospital, Sara receives a call from Jesse’s principal informing her of Jesse’s suspension. On the car ride home she notices a bruise on his arm from a needle and assumes he has been using drugs. Jesse angrily explains how he has been donating blood that gave Kate platelets behind the family’s back, in order to “save” his sister. After two weeks in the hospital, Kate developed an infection that placed her in a coma on a respirator, which is “saving” her for the time being.

(40) DUE DATE: 25 OCTOBER 2013 Personality is a pattern of behaviour and thinking that prevails across time and situations which differentiate one individual from another. According to the Oxford dictionary, the word personality stamps from the Latin word persona, which refers to a theatrical mask work by performers in order to either project different roles or disguise their identities. In short, personality is made up of the characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that make a person unique. Personality arises from within the individual and remains fairly consistent throughout one’s biological life.
