Case Scenario: Carl Fowler, a 46-year-old man, presents to a health clinic for a check-up. He was last seen in the clinic three years prior when he had acute bronchitis. A year ago, he was told that his blood pressure was "a little high" when he donated blood.

After working as a general surgeon in Phoenix, Arizona for six years, he specialized in orthopedics in Cleveland, Ohio and now works at a sports medicine practice in Alamogordo. During my mentor interview, I learned what education and preparation is required to go into this career field. Approximately, my mentor attended four years of regular college, four years of medical school, six years of residency, post training, and one year of fellowship, training above residency. Sports medicine physicians also receive additional training in the non-musculoskeletal aspects of sports medicine like mild traumatic brain injury, nutrition and supplements. There are no entry-level positions in sports medicine, so you just go straight into a practice as a full-time physician.

The patient made it very clear that she did not want the phlebotomist to draw her blood (Finnegan, 2013).This same phlebotomist has drawn her for several days for a Prothrombin Time (PT) and Activated Thromboplastic Time (aPTT) without incident, so he reports this situation to the nurse. The nurse informs the phlebotomist that the patient has formed a complaint against him and did not want him, in particular, to draw her blood. The blood had been drawn from the dorsal side of her hand for several days, which was now bruised and swollen. The patient complained of moderate pain, especially when she moved her fingers. Upon observation there was a diffuse ecchymosis over the dorsal side of the hand that extends up the forearm to the elbow.
The young man we had with us was not hurt at all. Helen had been sick all day and fainted once more after she got out of the car. Another neighbor came along and picked us up and was going to take us to town to the Doctor. We then met another neighbor who did take us to town to Dr. Hawkins. He taped Helen’s ribs and put me to sleep with either so he could check my jaw but I could barely open my month for a long time.
The tear however does cause pain, swelling, decreased ROM, and some instability. It takes the longest to heal typically six to nine months depending on the severity. Treatment requires surgery where there is a reconstruction of the ACL in which the patellar tendon is used to recreate a new ACL and the meniscus tear is removed. Even after surgery many of the patients still have to undergo weeks of physical therapy and use a knee brace to stabilize and reduce pain. It will take about a year
So soon after my graduation, the hospital gave me the choice to decide where I would like to work and I decided to go for neurosurgery. I worked in the Neuro- surgical trauma ICU of a super specialty hospital in Bangalore, India, for almost 4 years. My first 4 years over there made me a very strong. I have seen many lives fade away. I realized how short life is and how thankful we have to be each day of our lives being healthy.
I am thankful to be RWJF scholar. The experience that captured my desire to become a nurse happened in 2010 on the campus of East Carolina University. I was sitting outside the campus student center when a middle age man collapsed, right there, in front of me. I immediately responded and effectively performed CPR until the EMS team arrived 15 minutes later. It took between five and seven minutes for the man to regain pulse and respiration.
