The book I chose to read was Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen. It starts out with a ninety year old man, Jacob Jankowski, in a nursing home, but switches to see the story through the eyes of the twenty year old version of Jacob Jankowski. When Jacob is twenty he is in college at Cornell University to become a veterinarian, just like his father. He is about to graduate and get his degree, Jacob just has to take his final exam. The morning of the exam Jacob is ready.
Although, I feel this chapter should have probably been closer to the front of the book. The chapter was about the length of time of her appointment with the doctor that referred her to McLean Hospital that April morning in 1967. Kaysen mentions early on in the book that she was only interviewed for twenty minutes before she was asked if she was ready to go take a “rest” – rest was the doctor’s way of referring to her going to the psychiatric hospital. Kaysen says that although the time frame may have been longer, when counting the time between the actual interviewing, the doctor calling the hospital, and calling her parents, his actual time spent with her making the decision to send her to McLean was only twenty minutes. I found

Unfortunately, after a couple years, I had to take some time off. But, I never lost sight of that Bachelors Degree. So, after 9 years, I decided to come back to school last semester to finish the units I need to transfer to CSUN. I commonly get asked, "Why would you want to go back after all this time?" And it makes me think of my childhood when I used to attend night classes with my mother.
The Board of Directors recommended Robert Barry who has been the CEO of the hospital for 11 years that he consider laying off up to 10% of the hospital’s employees. The CEO asked Sharon Osgood, the HR director to prepare both a short-term plan to save $3 million over the next year through staff layoffs, as well as a long-term plan to avoid layoffs in the future. Osgood is preparing to submit her alternatives to Barry and has come to me for advice. I am describing the background in detail with the chart below. Factors | Context | Stakeholders | * B.O.D.
Journal #1: Pages 1-50 (50 pages) Randy Pausch opens his story, The Last Lecture, by telling us that he has only been given a few more months to live. Randy had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and having many tumors on his liver, he will have to do whatever he can in order to spend every waking moment with his family. The biggest conflict that will face Randy throughout the story is that he will not be able to raise his children and spend the rest of his life with his wife. With this in mind, he begins to create his “last lecture”, which will allow his children to learn from him, long after he is gone. College professors often have these lectures before their retirement and they allow them to reflect on what they have learned and what they are grateful for.
In April of 2003, I was deployed to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. On the day after Bagdad fell, my partner and I had been treating injured civilians. After treating patients for about 13-14 hours straight, I was finally about to sit down to eat something. Just as I opened my Meal, Ready to Eat (MRE), I heard a voice say, “Doc, we got one more for you.” I sighed heavily, put my MRE down and began to get up. As I looked up, I saw the little girl that would assure me that I would be in the medical field for the rest of my life.
Sam Matthew Kirby Lund English Comp 101 2 November 2011 Power, Society, and the Panopticon During my teenage years I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that usually affects the intestines and colon. I was diagnosed when I was 13 years old and had surgery to remove a part of my colon when I was 16. After the surgery I was in the hospital for seven days and for the first three days I could not eat or walk. For the next two days I was eating and could walk with help and on the last two days I could finally eat and walk on my own. So during those seven days I spent in a hospital room, I never once thought about how the hospital was structured and how that affected the power hierarchy.
