The protagonist, Vivian, is dying of stage four metastic ovarian cancer, and therefore the play is situated in the hospital. She is a complex character; she is intellectual, literal, flippant, arrogant, and witty. Throughout the play Vivian uses her humour, sarcasm, irony and puns to hide behind her intellect - which she learnt from Donne's sonnets - to hide her emotional side. Thus by the end of the play she realizes to regret her philosophy of 'life and text being the same'. Her use of intellect makes the play witty - a metaphysical conceit.

She often referred to the poet, John Donne, throughout the film to relate her illness to what she loved and studied all of her life. It served as symbolism, representing her view the quality of her life and ultimate mortality. She reflected to the times when she was uncompassionate towards her own students and compared it to the feeling of inhumanity she was experiencing in the hospital. As Vivian’s cancer progressed, she decides to continue various intensive chemotherapies under the care of doctor and former student, Jason Posner, who viewed her as less than a person and more as an objective. On the other hand, Susie Monahan, Vivian’s nurse, served as her advocate from the beginning of her treatments to Vivian’s death.
The patient’s death was particularly difficult for the ER staff to digest as they viewed their actions as an attempt to expedite care with uncomplicated dismissal. It was decided that a Plan-Do-Study-Act approach would be the most effective process improvement plan. The staff was amenable in part due to the fact that the patient’s death affected them emotionally and many verbalized they wanted to do everything possible to ensure this did not happen again. Plan – Applicable policies in this scenario will be reviewed and updated. These policies contain staffing, chain of command, procedural, delegation of duties, Code Blue and Rapid Response, triage and Biomedical facets.
Wit is the story of Vivian Bearing (Emma Thompson), a doctor of English literature, who has recently been diagnosed with stage four, metastatic ovarian cancer. She is encouraged to participate in an experimental, eight month chemotherapy treatment by her Oncologist, Dr. Harvey Kalekian (Christopher Lloyd). Dr. Kalekian speaks to her in medical jargon, not fully explaining exactly what the treatment will entail, but states that if she is "tough" and relies on her inner strength, she should do well. Dr. Bearing, being a hard-nosed, uncompromising type, agrees to the treatment.
It is real and can be as debilitating as a stroke or heart attack. I would encourage the family member to be patient with their loved one. I would tell them that treating this disorder is a long process that takes many hours of counseling and possible hospitalizations before it will be under control. I would give them names of support groups to attend if they need more encouragement and understanding. I would remind them to be supportive of the patient and not to expect too much of the loved one.
He knew she was a strong, independent woman and this lead him to believe she could handle everything she was going through. From what I saw she could and she did but as a doctor who studies cancer they should know well enough to know how hard it is to go thorough something like this. Doctors should treat their patents with respect and compaction. How did the care and social support provided by Susie Monahan differ from the care provided by Dr. Posner and Dr. Kelekian? The care and social support that Susie Monahan provided was completely different as in she treated Vivian was such respect and a great deal of compaction.
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.
Tearing apart a family does not mean arguing or having an affair, but it could also mean question and not finding the answers. This shows how AIDS is a destructive disease that not only harms the victims, but also their families. * She stood up and fought for Esther, this shows that Chanda loved her friends a lot. She has the will and braveness to make the decision of accepting her friend and to take the responsibility afterwards. This is an important point of
An example of blurring of professional boundaries could be a oncology nurse working along side an oncologist and caring for cancer patients day in and day out. As patients suffer and die the nurse and oncologist may lean on oneanother for support through the myriad emotions that come with long term treatment and loss of life of the patients and emotionsl distress of the patients’ family members. If the nurse and oncologist don’t observe professional boundaries they may allow their emotions to become personal in nature. It is imperative for professionals to realize that we as healthcare providers may experience the same emotions of sadness and loss due to the loss of a patient but under no circumstances should this be the foundation for a personal
