Weaver had me count all the medicine to make sure we had the correct amount and that we didn’t have too many pill or too little. After that I made over a 100 copies of paper that she needed. That was a joyful time. When I came back I go to help out with one of the diabetics and learned that he was a part of the vandalizing scandal. That was also very interesting.

After being sent home from the emergency room and I had to send her back not even two hours later because something was wrong. My mom got admitted into St. Luke’s Hospital for Serotonin Syndrome. Serotonin Syndrome is a life threatening drug reaction that is caused from too much of the same medicine (which also means the body having too much Serotonin). Serotonin Syndrome was caused by the Emergency Department, not paying attention to her everyday medicine and giving her something she was already on. My mom’s health was all over the place.
I had not planned on completing my observation when I did, but I got the feeling I was in the right place at the right time. My five-year-old daughter had been sick with a stuffy nose, coughing, and a fever so I called the doctor’s office for an appointment. The receptionist told me they were all booked up but to bring my daughter and she could be a work-in to see a doctor when one was available. My daughter and I arrived at her doctor’s office around 10:30am on Thursday, November 14, 2013. I signed her in at the desk and we took a seat in the waiting room between two tables with magazines.

All through school I was at least a B student, until my sophomore year. My mom had found some lumps and the doctor just told her they were caffeine lumps. Come to find out, she had breast cancer, and had already had it for many years. A simple misdiagnoses led her into Stage 4 Breast Cancer. To me this was worse than hearing I would be deaf in my right ear for the rest of my life.
The use of a steroid will build larger muscles, and reduce muscle damage that can occur during intense workouts. Many other countries have developed these steroids specifically for athletes and have no approved medical use. The reason anabolic have no approved medical use is because they have not been tested or approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). When the FDA has not approved a drug, it can be a serious health threat to people who use them (6). Studies have not been performed to prove the true effects because the dosages of the steroids are so high that in becomes an ethical problem.
The morning of May 27, 2004, my mother arrived at North Shore University Hospital because she was having contractions.
