Recommended: Interviews with a doctor

In short, I could say that my past week has been terribly wonderful. I was able to schedule 2 more interviews, one for last Thursday and the other for the next Tuesday. I had been preparing for the interview on Thursday in Richardson. It was a truly rewarding experience as the doctor was amicable and explained new concepts about internal medicine that could not be expressed over Google searches. Overall, the first research interview was nerve-wracking but well worth the preparation as I gained new insight into the field. In Independent Study and Mentorship, we were practicing for the highly anticipating Business Symposium as it was coming around the corner and there was some brushing up to do. I practiced countless times the most commonly

  • The Pros and Cons of Fracking

    1351 Words  | 3 Pages

    In today's global economy, energy is one of the most crucial and sought after commodities. Who supplies it and how much they supply determines how much influence they have over other countries as well as the global economy. This is why hydraulic fracturing is currently such an important and controversial topic in the United States. Hydraulic fracturing, more commonly known as "fracking" or hydrofracturing, is the process of using pressurized liquids to fracture rocks and release hydrocarbons such as shale gas, which burns more efficiently than coal. This booming process of energy production provides a much needed economic boost, creating jobs and providing gas energy for Americans. The efficiently burning shale gas reduces carbon emission from electricity production plants, reducing carbon footprints on the environment. However, the process of hydraulic fracturing uses millions of gallons of pressurized liquid, which contains toxic chemicals, and some of this water is left over undealt with. The air near fracking sites is often also polluted and unsafe for nearby community residents. Injecting millions of gallons of water laced with toxic chemicals into the rock thousands of feet deep can cause earthquakes, causing a safety hazards for all nearby areas. Hydraulic Fracturing makes rare natural gases easily attainable, boosting the economy and reducing carbon emissions. However, the negative side effects such as contaminated water and air, make hydraulic fracturing a process that may not be worth the benefits.

    Today must've been the busiest day I've ever experienced at this office. There were so many patients. They all waited at least 3 hours just to be seen by the doctor. The good thing is the office closed at noon so everyone usually was able to make it their shift at work. I got a lot of experience assisting in extractions.

  • The Ethical Issues Of Fracking

    959 Words  | 2 Pages

    Have you ever been to Hell? No one is quite sure how far underground you have to go to get there or what you have to do to be sent there, but no one truly wants to go. Fracking might be putting people closer to Hell than the government thinks. What is fracking? “…hydraulic fracturing… as a means of extracting natural gas and oil from shale formations located deep underground (Davis and Fisk 1). Fracking has caused many ethical issues due to the many problems it has caused for the people who live around the fracking sites. “…, it has become increasingly controversial because of rising public concerns about drilling-related impacts on environmental quality, local government infrastructure, and public health” (Davis and Frisk 1). The fracking

    1715 Words  | 4 Pages

    Hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as fracking, is a widespread practice in the United States. Fracking is a method used to extract oil and natural gas. Scientists and citizens report detrimental side effects of hydraulic drilling. New York and Vermont have banned fracking statewide. Maryland has set a two year moratorium on fracking, so that more research can be done to show the impacts of fracking on the environment. Nationwide, many other cities and counties have banned fracking as well. All states should look into finding alternative sources of energy, instead of using devastating practices like fracking to extract non-renewable resources.

    In the day and age, we live in there is a shortcoming of fuel and resources, but people keep calling forth advances in the field of renewable energy, but there is not much drive behind their calling. We have to conform to the methods being used in this day and age, but the most complicated and yet controversial method is hydraulic fracking for oil and gas. Hydraulic fracking comes at a great cost. Some of the cost of hydraulic fracking include but are not limited to the water pollution caused by this process and the inevitable damage to the area where the gas and oil were extracted from. In the process of fracking, there is a need to vent the gas build up thus creating more air pollution that is only part of their total air pollution, the heavy machinery used for hydraulic fracking also emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Aside those risk, there is the biggest concern is the damage it may cause to livestock and agriculture.

    Fracking is quickly becoming a debatable topic in our society today. The practice involves injecting fluid into the ground to fracture rock in order to release natural gas. It sounds like it would be a safe way to harness fuels in the earth’s surface, but it actually is a danger to our environment. Because of the dangers of fracking, what little fresh water remains on earth is being contaminated. It is also releasing toxins into the airs creating contaminated air and acid rain. Because of the many health and environmental dangers of fracking, it should be stopped immediately to help prevent more worldwide health issues down the road.

    I believe it is absolutely appropriate to hold library directors at a higher standard from other non-administrative library employees. If we take the fracking example above from question two, the library director has the responsibility to set the tone of his or her institution in order to give back to the community, whether it is information, resources, or a safe place for discussion. As Prentice (2013) states, “The leader sets the tone or the organization and serves as a role model of integrity which includes showing respect to the organization and its values and for others both inside and outside the organization” (p. 98). As for a DUI or petty theft conviction, it would be exceedingly difficult for a library director to bounce back into

  • Reflective Essay About An Interview

    1317 Words  | 3 Pages

    The interviewee and I both felt very comfortable, I didn’t sense much distress until I got to the controversial topics, which is great. Both parties should be comfortable when it comes to an interview. Also, although I did wait long periods before talking sometimes and I also cut her off once, I do feel like I did get a decent amount of information from her. I also asked open-ended questions too. I actually didn’t ask any leading questions in this interview which is why I got such lengthy answers from her but I did compound some questions which I wouldn 't do next time because the trend seems to be that she would respond to the last question I asked instead of acknowledging everything I said. Another thing I feel that I did well was listening. I did not talk very much, she did the talking for about ¾ of the interview which is

  • Summer Internship in the Hospital

    I was both excited and scared on my first day. I was curious about everything that I could see, smell and hear. I was excited because everything was new to me. The office was very quiet, all the physicians were concentrate on their work. Everything in the office was organized very well. The equipments were gleaming as they attracted me to touch. The smell of the ink was still dimly in the air. I got a little scared when I stepped into the hallway. It was really crowded, people seem very busy no matter if they were patients or physicians. People were everywhere. It was really easy to pump into someone. Rapid footsteps made flap sounds on the marble floor. The smell of the hospital special antiseptic solutions was very pungent. The call bells in the wards were very sharp, and they were coupled with the red lights in front of the wards and white walls. I had never felt more nervous before. I felt dazed because I had no idea what I could do, but this was piqued my fighting will more. Overall, I like this place. The department where I worked in was called the comprehensive internal medicine ward, and it also included a rheumatology clinic. Though I had volunteered in hospital for a very long time in school, I’ve never got a chance to get in the real business as a volunteer. So I was eager to learn everything. My instructor was a really person. He was near my father’s age, so he took care of me like his daughter....
