Patch Adams Essay - Topic #1

A moment of laughter can make a difference in one life. Patch Admas made is patient’s laughs and lifts their spirit up and made them feel like the still have chance of survive. Patch Adams also said that physicians and clowns consider humor and friendship part of the cure in any healing process. When a doctor/nurse develop that friendship with their patients there will always be laughter between the two when they meet. When kids are little and are afraid to go to the dentist some dentist create a fun atmosphere so that that child can field at home all at a game and they will feel happy and that scary feelings will go away and they will be calm. Being angry all the time is not even healthy for your body it can get you stress out and raised your blood pressure up. When you don’t have a good spirit in some sickness you has less chance of surviving. In most diseases like for example cancer patients if they don’t have that laughter that they get when their family or friends are around the cant survived. As a doctor or nurse when their family, friends, or love ones are not around it should be your responsibility to make they feel like they are. As a doctor or nurse your job shouldn’t be strictly a job that you are doing for money take it as your way of living and treat your patients as your own family. Embraced your patients, always make them feel at home let them be comfortable. Knowing what medicine to give your patients doesn’t make you a good doctor but the way you treat them will always make them come back to you. These are some of the reason people have family doctor because they are used to that doctor and know that the doctor will treat their family the same way he treats them. People love when people listen to them so when a doctor listens to them it makes them feel like they care.

    Another strategy used inside the ER is humor. To lighten the mood doctors, nurses, and residents often use this technique. Although most people would not find anything humorous in an emergency, within the walls of the hospital it is a way of coping with life and death on a day-to-day basis. Both of these strategies help routinize chaos in hospitals and achieve the main goal of saving the patient.…

    I was hospitalized for three weeks at Seattle Children’s after enduring emergency surgery to remove a rare tumor in my large intestine. What I figured was random stomach pain was life threatening. Since I have endured so much in my life, it is not easy for me to be emotional. When I found out that I needed surgery in a mere few hours I did not know how to process my emotions. Being in the hospital taught me that I need to take what may seem meaningless as something that could be serious. I learned to face emotions instead of avoiding them. Throughout the time I was at Children's Hospital the nurses played a vital role in not just my physical, but my emotional recovery. Nurses take the responsibility for your life, and give hope that you will recover. The nurses that I met had deep and powerful relationships with each patient and played a valuable role in all measures of care. Nursing is a career composed of leadership, integrity, and non-stop learning. As a patient I was able to observe over 30 nurses and their interactions with other patients. It inspired me that one person can have such an astonishing impact on numerous people. As a future career, I hope to be a registered nurse at Children's Hospital to assume the role that I so admired of my nurses.…

    This was especially demonstrated to me while I volunteered at Columbia Hospital. I was tasked with feeding an irritable patient that was paralyzed from the neck down for the past 30 years. A simple 25-minute lunch turned into a two-hour long conversation. Being in that room with him instilled a deep sense of sympathy that I knew would be necessary in a field where doctors use facile explanations of illnesses to their patients. Patients often don’t understand the full extent of their illness and neither do their loved ones. It is important for doctors to have the ability to sympathize with their patients. After our conversation, the patient had become significantly more cooperative with the staff. It was such a motivating and educational experience to see how a volunteer, of all people, could improve the standard of care for a patient. I can only imagine the impact a physician could make.…
