    My career profession is to become a speech pathologist. This career is broad because there are so many things that we can specialize in and there are many choices of settings that we can choose to work in. One of those settings is to work in the hospital. When a speech pathologist works in a hospital setting, he/she is going to be communicating with the doctor regarding their patient so having knowledge about the human body externally and internally is extremely important. This career choice relates to brain- related disorders because if a patient has a serious brain disorder such as a stroke, a speech pathologist is going to be needed. The stroke could potentially leave one side of the patient’s face paralyzed so the speech pathologist would…

    In addition, my employment experience has provided me with great respect for social and ethical views that differ from my own. This position has given me the opportunity to decide if a career in medicine is truly where I would like to be. Working at the hospital has been a truly challenging experience through dealing with the magnitude of death, illness, and recovery. This experience has made me realize that a career in medicine is where I need to be. I have experienced a multitude of emotions and in the end I have realized that the reward of knowing that a life was saved or that through the death of a patient, we have made groundbreaking discoveries in medicine is far greater than the emotional tensity associated with the experience.…

    disrupt their peers, their family members and teachers in the classroom setting. The child's school performance is usually affected negatively due to this. This condition is normally noticed in the child's early school years and the child's teachers often bring it to the attention of parents. For ADHD there is no cure, in some children the symptoms seem to lessen once the child enters adolescents. It is estimated that almost ten million children have been diagnosed with having ADHD. Glasser in his book claims "ADHD is nothing but a collection of behaviors that have been lumped together and called a disorder by the psychiatric community" (Glasser 76). The most common drug prescribed to children with ADHD is Ritalin. The 1990's witnessed a startling increase in the number of children diagnosed with ADHD and a corresponding increase in the use of…

    Ritalin is often used as a convenient shortcut to solving behavioral problems among children. When a child shows signs of mischief in the classroom, parents and teachers quickly jump to the conclusion that the child has ADHD. Parents then take their child to the doctor and usually over exaggerate their behavior. Doctors know that this is biased, but the do not commit their time for further investigation and physiological testing (Grohol). Just because some boxes can be checked on the diagnostics criteria test does not mean that one automatically has ADHD. Giving a perfectly healthy and active student Ritalin to calm down is the equivalent of pressuring one into taking drugs just for the sake of doing it. Instead of rashly diagnosing children with ADHD, doctors must suggest that their parents take more time with their children. Family counseling or education programs is a better and safer option.…

    Children are being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) too easily and without being properly tested for ADHD. Many children are being misdiagnosed because parents, teachers, and doctors are not taking into consideration that many other factors can lead to behavioral problems. If used properly ADHD medications such as Ritalin can be very helpful to children who have this disorder, but far too many parents and doctors are too quick to prescribe medications to control behavior. We owe it to children to try to find another way first before a prescription is written up.…
