In the article “Gender Bender by Jill Vollbrecht we learn about a diabetic woman and her hairier problem. Her deep voice, furry arms and her bald spot points to a hormonal imbalance, but a deeper look into her problem reveals an even better explanation to why this is happening. As we read on we learn about Judy, the diabetic patient and her doctor visit. Dr. Vollbrecht seemed to been having a busy day. She had just finished seeing what seemed like a hundred diabetic patients, one after the other.
"Your whole body is in excruciating pain." Castanada was eventually transferred to the University of California Irvine's burn unit, where doctors said over 70 percent of her body was damaged, Corona said. She's undergone several surgeries over the past few weeks, but her feet are still blistering. Zeichner said he sees it most often with antibiotics, but MacKinnon said this sometimes fatal reaction is different from most reactions to antibiotics, which are usually limited to gastrointestinal symptoms. "Unfortunately, we have no way of predicting who would have this type reaction," Zeichner said, advising that patients only take prescriptions given to them by their doctors.
My friend lifted up her shirt, showed her a bright red (not pink) belly, and told her mother she had been calling and informing the doctor's office for days. They simply told her it was normal to have pain, not to worry, and they could not fit her in for an appointment until the following week. From the site of my friends stomach, her mother rushed her to the emergency room in horror. What my friend had was a horrible disease called necrotizing fasciitis and it had spread through parts of her body like wild fire. So I began investigating and found that she was not the only one.
My oldest sister is now 24 years old, married, and a mother of a 1-year-old boy. When she graduated from Bravo Medical Magnet High School she found herself a job at Bank of America. During that time she felt that being in work was right for her because she was receiving money and wanted to buy a car. Her reason for stopping school was not because she wanted to be “freed” from it but because she believed working was a better path for her to take. My second oldest sister was never a big fan of school.
I agreed. So after I went home and went through a lot of questions from my mom I went sleep.

She said “the doctor called and he wants to see you today at nine thirty I’m going to drive you so be ready.

Once you get to the hospital, you go to whatever floor surgery is on, you check in and fill out all that stupid paperwork, then you sit and wait. Finally, your name is called. They take you to a big open room with a bunch of different hospital beds, and a few shower curtain little things to separate each bed. You’re then handed, probably one of the ugliest gowns, hair net looking thing, a pair of stockings, (yes, white obnoxious stockings, get used to them, you’ll wear them BOTH for about 2 weeks) and then some of the fuzziest socks you’ll ever wear. You change, and sit there for a little with your parents, and then your doctor comes in and talks to you and writes on your stockings ‘yes’ and ‘no’ (yes on the surgery knee, no on the good knee).
This employer discriminated on me because I was a pregnant female. First I lost my job at Brinks Home Security corporate as a programmer because I was pregnant and sick all the time. I was very sick and place on bed rest periodically. I had headaches and lots of chest pain. I was fully released from bed rest when I was about six months into my pregnancy.
With my efforts, I was able to obtain a grant for my High School education in a private school and that made my mother so happy and proud. When I was 16 they discovered that I have a rupture in the retina of my left eye and she did everything to collect the money to take me to the hospital and had a surgery; I remember seeing her cried, telling the doctors to please fix my eyes, that she wouldn’t me suffer the same way that she did. Even that I don’t see perfectly well, I been able to succeed thanks to the prompt actions that were taken. I never thought of moving out of my country, what for? I had it everything: a house, a job, my family, a fiancée; but different social and family situations take me out of my nest and sent me to fly to a different world.
It was a big challenge for her as an individual trapped in an isolated from for lunatics. It was also a big adversity as a mother for her to bear the pain of the absence of her child. As an adult it was punishment because she was given directions and told what to do and what not to do like she was a child under the supervision of a parent. All the means of treatment prescribed to the narrator as to help her recover worsened her state of mind. Eventually, she could not hold back anymore, she was ready to break free and escape.
