Regional Medical Center Narrative
May 5, 2010, my brother, dad, and I are waiting in a lobby of the Anaheim Regional Medical Center. It’s a cold morning having to wake up early to go see my sister Liz at the doctor, considering the fact we weren't even allowed to see her yet, and having to sit and just wait to get some sort of news from my mom who was allowed to go up and see my sister. I stand to walk around as my dad asks me
“What are you doing”?
“ I can’t wait and I am really hungry, how much longer is going to be till we can see him?” I responded.
My brother Adrian is sleeping on the sofa seeing as he is not used to waking up so early. I start wondering around the lobby just seeing the same things over and over again; flowers, plants, pictures, vending machines, and a case full of bread for sale, but my dad does not want to buy because he says we have to wait till my mom comes back. Adrian wakes up just to say “ I’m hungry, can we leave now and go eat, I'm really hungry, please dad!”
“ No we have to wait for your …show more content…
“ No, the doctor said it is going to be a while more till he is here” Explained my mom.
“What are they going to name him” I asked.
“ Either Ricky or Emmanuel” said my mom.I was somewhat sad to hear that because I was hoping to see him that day. We headed out afterwards to go and get something to eat, but my mom said she was going to stay a while longer and to go back for her later that day. All day long I was just thinking about when we were going to be able to see him, when was I going to be able to carry him, I was just feeling so anxious. My mom came home later that day to say “ Everything came out ok, the baby is fine and so is your sister, Liz.”
I anxiously asked “ What did they name him!”
“ Emmanuel” she responded with. Emmanuel I thought to myself, truthfully I was hoping they would name him Ricky but Emmanuel is who I would call him to this day and I’m quite happy they named him that, he would soon be here and he would meet his

    Eighty percent of patients at RRMC were Medicare or Blue Cross and the administration experienced much difficulty when it came to negotiating prices with Blue Cross due to monopoly”(Richards & Slovensky, 2004). In this market, buyers have high bargaining power because reimbursements rates are low. Because Medicare and Blue Cross held monopoly in these services area, negotiating prices remained extremely difficult for RRMC. The suppliers have lower bargaining power due to low Medicare reimbursements and difficulty negotiating prices with Blue…

I'm thinking to myself I told you that you can hear hear murmurs it sounds like running water inside your chest.

    Personal History Project

    On September 8th 1990, it was a hot sunny day in the city of Cali, Colombia. Temperature around 88°F with very low humidity, normal for that time of year, since the summer was about to begin. A sky full of altocumulus clouds cooled the estimated population of about 1.7 million people ("1990 population estimate for Cali, Colombia."). Among that population there was my mother. Already late for her gynecology appointment, inconveniently causes by a car accident, she would shortly find out when I would be entering the world. The accident turned a 20-minute drive in a 45-minute drive. Rushing into the clinic, as the doctor’s assistant was calling her name, she rapidly was taken to the back to speak with the provider. When the doctor came into the room he calmly said, “I have good news, and bad news”. My mom’s heart already racing she decided to go with the bad news first. “The probability of being a complicated birth is pretty high, which means the surgical team will have to perform a cesarean section instead of a vaginal birth”. My mother relived thinking it would be something much worse she asked the doctor to go ahead with the good news. “The baby will probably be arriving today”. My mom became frantic, “that’s the good news? They might as well both have been bad! My mother panicked, she had nothing ready for the birth, since her first child was not due for another 10 days. Her hormone levels raging at an all time sky high, she shortly began to cry. The doctor and his staff hugged her and reassured her that everything was going to be ok. They quickly rushed her to the hospital where they would have all the equipment in the event that there were any major complications. Once she was all settled in, the operating room staff started to prepare for the birth around 3:15 P.M. The staff thought I was ready to come out, however I took another three hours to make my grand appearance. At 6:23 PM I arrived spreading my arms and legs with a…

    Dad Narrative

    Once again, I found myself wandering through the uncomfortable, brightly lit halls of the hospital. I was to find the room where my father was, an all too familiar task. "Room 443", I was told by my mother who had requested me to take my dad back to his apartment. Upon entering the elevator I let out a sigh of apprehension and turned to wearily push the button labeled "4". Whiffs of disinfectant products meandered themselves inside my nose while I looked around to see egg-white walls and nurses shuffling about in their bright, floral print scrubs. One of them approached me with a kind smile. "May I help you?" I briefly responded saying I needed to find my father, Charles Jolitz. "Go down the hall. He's in the last room on the left." Slowly making my way to the door, I speculated about what had happened to my dad this time. I entered the room thinking to myself, "Boy, he looks worse every time.", his salt and pepper hair ruffled, beard unshaven and a look of loss on his face. Though as soon as his eyes met mine, that face lit up and the corners of his mouth upturned into a smile. "My chickadee!", he exclaimed. I asked him how he was feeling and if it was time to go as the nurse carted in a wheelchair. All three of us made our way down to the lobby exchanging small talk. I dashed to my car, happy to be out of the dreariness that is a hospital. I hoped he would tell me why he was there yet again. Once in the car, he told me in a few words that he had had another episode due to taking his pain medication with a fifth of vodka and had lost control. He ended up dialing 911. My dad hurriedly changed the subject asking if I was hungry and if I would like to go have a burger. I let out another sigh. "I'm sorry, Dad. I'm not hungry, I've already eaten but I can take you to get one. We can go for lunch later this week." "Alright, sweetie.", said he. We arrived at his apartment complex and I walked him to his…

    The Challenges of Caring for a Child

    After a week, I took him back to the emergency room. This time they took blood and ran tests. I was a nervous wreck! I paced up and down the hall holding my son; he was crying so hard his face was as red as a Christmas light. I was so scared and upset; he was only eight months old. I remember praying as I paced that floor, asking God to please let my son be alright. We were in that emergency room for eight…

    Pregnant Narrative

    My grandma told me that if they worsened, she would take me to the hospital. Shortly thereafter about 5 minutes later, the contractions worsened and my cousin picked us up to go to the hospital. I was already dilated to 5 centimeters when I was admitted. The doctor gave me an epidural which really helped, but I was so afraid to birth naturally that the doctors gave me an emergency c-section. I was awake during the delivery and remember that when they cut me open it felt really weird and numb. When my baby was born he looked like his dad. Dray came to the hospital, he was so happy as was my family. Soon after, I kicked everyone out so I could get some rest. I named my son, Tyrinn.…
