She uses these tools in order to inflict a deep emotional feeling and an understanding of how awful the situation actually was. One of the rhetorical strategies of this piece is her compassion, even when seemingly futile, for the wounded soldier. The way Alcott describes John's situation as being completely helpless and doomed. The doctor's words, not having "the slightest hope" for recovery, illustrate his condition. Given this information prior to her attempt to ease his pain, Alcott shows her sheer pity for the "poor lad".
Sometimes people feel like they are on the "pink cloud" which means that people become overly confident in early recovery and get cocky. I believe "The Noose" is written about how one may get the feeling of perfection in their recovery. They believe they are reborn a saint and forget about the footprint they left in other peoples lives. In the first line of the song, "So glad to see you well/ Overcome and completely silent now", begins by addressing someone which I assume recently came out of a rehabilitation clinic. Religious symbolism becomes introduced, "With heavens help, You cast your demons out".
An Interesting observation from the play is the relationship between the doctors and the patient as Dr. Vivian Bearing is undergoing her treatment process. The play also highlights some of the responsibilities of the doctors and hospital staff towards the patient. Dr. Harvey Kelekian and Dr. Jason Posner show little or no compassion towards Vivian and treat her as a research subject, while Vivian’s primary nurse Susie Monahan shows interest in her patient and tries to comfort her during the treatment process by being compassionate and caring. Various instances from the play highlight the attitude of the doctors and hospital staff towards the patient. When Dr. Harvey Kelekian breaks out to Vivian that she has been diagnosed with cancer, he assumes that since Vivian is an English professor, she would know medical terms too and goes on to explain her situation to her in high level medical terms, instead of explaining it to her in a simple and kind manner.
Charlie comes to the unfortunate recognition of the cruelness of his coworkers and friends, and how they have been making fun of him all along. Although Charlie made the decision to get the surgery in order to improve his quality of life it ended up doing the opposite. Because of his choice he now sufffers the pain of realizing things and people arent what he thought they were. The Loss of innocence archetype is used in a very
His therapist, Dr. Patel, was a very good listener and is very calm. I think it is very hard to be a calm listener while the client is aggressive and angry but the therapist handled the situations very well. He was different from Robin William’s character because he didn’t share the similar experience as the client and tries to keep his life very private. The therapist in Silver Linings Playbook did a great job asking Pat why he does things that he does. For example, Pat gets very aggressive and his mood changes every time he hears his wedding song.
For example, nursing records showed pseudopatients writing as an aspect of pathological behavior. Hospitalization is counter-therapeutic and dehumanizing. The staff ignored patients’ requests. The absence of eye and verbal contact reflect avoidance and depersonalization. The sources of depersonalization emerge from attitudes of fear and distrust held by all of us toward the mentally ill and hierarchical structure of the psychiatric hospital.
The wallpaper is at first a great annoyance to Jane as she claims that it is confusing and contradicting. Jane was a writer and was not permitted to express herself through the means of writing. She is not only affected by the physical restraints of being inside the room alone, but the yellow wallpaper is dreadful and fosters only negative creativity. Jane's negative thoughts are first displayed through "It is dull enough to confuse the eye in following, pronounced enough to constantly irritate and provoke study, and when you follow the lame uncertain curves for a little distance they suddenly commit suicide plunge off at outrageous angles, destroy themselves in unheard of contradictions." This is displaying the beginning of her negative thoughts which is the contribution to her spiralling into insanity since her disease confuses her mind and contradicts her logic, the paper parallels her mental state at this point.
The patients venerate 8 McMurphy because of the toughness he has toward Nurse Ratched. ‘Pictures and letters’ are symbolic of McMurphy’s true self. It becomes lucid 3 that McMurphy has emotions, with Kesey use of ‘upset and worried’, rather than this emotionless, tough person he is viewed as by the other characters. Chief seeing that McMurphy has weakness is perplexing to him because McMurphy has garnered 9 an image of
Sometimes other nurses start beginning to create problems between each other by saying that they are not moving fast enough or that they are lazy. I had an elderly patient at a nursing home clinical site scratch my chest because we were trying to help her change into her clothes. The patient was angry and she was trying to hit and scratch everyone in sight. We tried to talk to her calmly and diffuse her unknown anger towards us. The patient eventually calmed down but then had to be put in wrist restraints for the violent behavior.
Reports of disruptive behavior and bullying with disturbing outcomes are well documented among healthcare professionals. These reports attest that working in a chaotic environment creates an unhealthy workplace for nurses, nursing students, patients as well as the public. In this type of work environment the stress level is usually high, job satisfaction decreases, and unwelcomed clinical outcomes take place such as; increased medical errors, and decreased focus and judgment
