Personal Narrative: Double Visions
How to you feel now a days? I hope all is well. I am sure Aunt Rosie would not mind to keep you company.

Remember, Uncle Juan had a massive stroke back in the early 90s that took his life away. I was clinically confirmed to have hypertension in my late 50 years old. Shortly after under Hi BP treatment I encountered BP spikes couple of times and hospitalized in McAllen, TX just a few miles north of Mex. border. Fortunately, both events ruled out any stroke. However, I was runing into different side effects or allergy to certain BP medications. Now, I have a very firm foundation to say, any BP medication that links to Angio-tensin would bring on severe side effects to my health.

I did have a very severe double visions 2 years ago and I could not drive or even attempted to go to places with plenty of items or people before my eyes. I used one eye patch to cover one eye to prevent terrible visual discomfort. The double visions started to improve after a year long. Finally, I was treated by an opthamologist. One opthamologist confirmed my eyes were truely having double vision and then referred me to another Opthamologist that treats neuro vision issue. One of my eyes is slightly trailing the other eye in movements. Prism lens were used to resolve the issue. I can drive now, but I must wear my prism lens. Last year, I had a very terrible visual disturbance when I stopped over at Denver International before I got to LAX. My slow limping walks,

I am using Medicare insurance (due to being retired) and Tricare for Life (supplement insurance from USAF) to keep both of us at home from depending on the OBAMA Care. My primary care physician refers me to specialist. That is the norm to avoid charges not approved by the insurance company. Patient has the option of switching primary care physician, but the insurance must be notified ahead of time to ensure

    My insider/outsider partner was Alicia Garcia. As you can tell by her last name she is Hispanic. I don’t have many Hispanic friends and I am not use to their culture. Starting on the project Alicia told me a little a bit about her heritage. One of the things I asked her was, “Do you celebrate the day of the dead?” I know that might seem like a crazy question to ask, but I the only thing that I truly knew about her culture is what I seen on TV. Alicia said that they do celebrate it to some extent. They don’t actually go to a grave site and light candles for their fallen relatives, but instead have a feast in honor of them. Alicia is the first generation American Hispanic.…

    Calcium channel blockers may work better for older people and African-Americans than do ACE inhibitors alone. Renin inhibitors slow down the production of renin, an enzyme produced by your kidneys that starts a chain of chemical steps that increases BP. There a risk of serious complications, including stroke, if taking renin inhibitors with ACE inhibitors or ARBs. If taking at least three different types of high BP drugs does not work you may have resistant HTN. People who have controlled high BP but are taking four different types of medications at the same time to achieve that control also are considered to have resistant HTN. Having resistant HTN means that you may have to fine-tune your medications to come up with the most effective combination and doses. Beyond medications, lifestyle changes can also help lower BP. These include: eating a healthier diet with less salt, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy weight or losing weight if you're overweight or obese. To help treat high BP, health care providers recommend that you limit sodium and salt intake, increase potassium, and eat foods that are heart…

    Traveling into the Indian Territory, we were being angrily chased down by three Indians furiously shouting at us. Dashing through the thick forest, the savage Indians were throwing spears and shooting arrows that narrowly missed us. Although neither Gideon nor I was mortally injured, I did suffer from a nick from an arrow piercing near my ear. Thankfully, a group of burly fur traders approached from the side, which frightened the Indians to run away. Acknowledging that Gideon and I were inexperienced travelers in the west, they offered us protection in exchange for some valuable possessions. As a consequence, knowing that they were our best alternative for survival, we gave them our antique gold pocket watches and assumed the identities of novice fur traders. From that point on, we followed them through the west and adopted their skills for efficiently hunting animals and keeping warm in the harsh, cold weather. During one of our rest points, we approached a large Cherokee settlement located in Park Hill in which our group leader was friends with the Cherokee leader John Ross.…

    What do you see when you look in the mirror? Are you pleased, or do you immediately come up with an endless list of insecurities? As a child one of my favorite memories was laying around the house with my older sister on rainy days. We would leave the windows open so we could hear the rain coming down on the tin roof over our patio, while watching reruns of our favorite tv show “America's Next Top Model”. I always thought that these women were gorgeous and I would catch myself constantly comparing their looks to my own. I wanted to be just like them until I realized the unrealistic expectations that they had to live up to. A sizeable butt and breasts, but not too large; they have got to be proportional. A skinny waist, impeccable hair, blemish free face although even with clear skin you are expected to cake on makeup because no one is actually pretty without mile long eyelashes, the perfect smoky eye, and exemplary contouring. Society has idolized these things as “beautiful” and shamed the girls that do not meet these standards; however, society should be making everyone feel confident in their bodies. Girls need to know that it is okay not to have an “hourglass figure” so they don’t…

    There has been many cases in which I have helped an outsider feel welcome. One time in particular is when I played tag with this little boy at church since he was new and no one else played with him. Originally, I was outside eating candy and talking to my friends at church. I noticed that this little boy was standing all alone watching all the other little kids play without him. I thought that maybe he was upset so I went over to him and asked if he wanted the rest of my gummy worms. He seemed nervous at first, but eventually he started talking to me. I learned that he was five years old and he was visiting his grandparents for the weekend. His older brother was outside playing basketball with some of the other older boys at the church, and…

    According to an essay published online by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, one of the goals of managed care HMOs contracting with IPAs is to prevent the potential overuse of health care specialists. The traditional HMOs permit access to specialists only with authorization from a primary care provider acting as a gatekeeper. According to a recent study, individuals who have direct access to specialists in their HMOs do not make more visits to specialist than individuals enrolled in gatekeeper HMOs. According to this essay, the rules governing the gatekeeper's role in an HMO may actually encourage additional visits to the primary care physician and to specialists. The rational is simple: the more visits one has to a primary care physician, the more opportunities one has to get a referral to a specialist. Thus, the Managed Care IPA model actually strain rather reduce the strain on both primary care services and the visits made to specialists (Health Care Costs and Financing, 2000).…
