“You make me brave”
No one truly likes mystery. Especially not doctors and surgeons. They are forever in need of exact readings and tests in order for them to do their jobs. The unknown is a burden that leaves everyone clamoring. The unknown is terror for many. Nobody knows where they might end up…nobody knows. Any Grey’s fan remembers those little words. It’s a mystery within itself. But sometimes, what the unknown can do is force one to finally make the right choice. The legacy of Cristina Yang is irrefutable--one of the best television character journeys ever brought to life. This is no overstatement. In fact, I might be cutting Yang’s journey and character progression over the past ten years short: Season one, we saw her ambition. Season two, we saw her motivations. Season three, we saw her endurance. Season four, we saw her vulnerability. Season five, we saw her compassion. Season six, we saw her love. Season seven, we saw her vitality. Season eight, we saw her strength. Season nine, we saw her excellence. And in season ten--in Cristina Yang’s tenth and final season, we see her bravery. And even now--at the finish line, her journey is not over. “Fear (of the Unknown)” is undoubtedly the best episode of the season and for many other reasons, one of the series’ best episodes ever. These past few weeks of bidding farewell to one of television’s most memorable and complex characters led up to something worth talking about until Grey’s Anatomy returns this Fall.
Assuming the worst (as one should know to do when it comes to Grey’s Anatomy season finales) the entire Shondaland fandom may have braced themselves for the end of Cristina Yang as the literal end--death--of Cristina Yang. But Shonda knew better than that. Cristina Yang...

...rtainly gotten Cristina farther than anyone would have ever thought. Cristina’s belief in herself and her skill have created for her a bountiful future in which her love of medicine takes precedent--and she wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s reached her dream and achieved her happily ever after. It is very different from Meredith’s (although one might take notice that Meredith is in the middle of reevaluating her “happily ever after”) but just as satisfying. The Season 10 finale is a fitting send-off for such a legendary character and while Cristina Yang throws herself and the rest of us into a world of fearful mystery without her, we have to remind ourselves that there is no finish line nor an endpoint for any of us. We just have to go for it and feel confident that whatever the next step is, it will be brilliant. “Fear (of the Unknown)” gets 5 out of 5 stars!

Through persuading the audience to believe that death is a wonderful and relaxing thing, she takes on a very difficult task. A common thought of the end of life is that it is a ceasing of all things good.

Feelings are the most significant part of human’s creature, but what if it comes to the goal that one’s life is based on? Would it still be that important? In the article, “Dog Lab”, Claire McCarthy discusses her own experiences as a medical student at Harvard school. McCarthy was born in 1963. She did her residency at Boston’s Children’s Hospital and she is now working as a pediatrician at the Martha Eliot Health Center in the Jamaica Plains. During college, she used to keep a journal with her that provided the outline of her writings which she referred to for her books such as Learning How the Heart Beats: The making of a Pediatrician and Everyone's Children : A Pediatrician's Story of an Inner City Practice. In addition to McCarthy being
Grey’s Anatomy is a medical drama that encompasses the professional and personal lives of interns and residents as they strive to become surgeons. The beginning of the series focuses on one intern, Meredith Grey, who is taking part in the residency program at Seattle Grace Hospital. Throughout the seasons the backgrounds, and aspirations of the characters are explored, while following their present day lives. The series is based off of the doctors everyday lives, but concerns itself mostly with their personal lives, using their professional lives as a backdrop to character development. The medical cases aid the plot of the series most often by the patients saying things that relate back to the dilemmas the characters are going through. This along with the relationships between colleagues connects work to personal life, often mixing professional and private relationships into one.

In the passage “The chem 20 factor” by Ellen Goodman explains the long process and hardships of what it takes to become a doctor, she explains how it all starts with Chem 20 and how all the Pre-med students say “Every class is a combat mission” this just goes to show that Ellen Goodman can connect with the readers because she has her own experiences with the same struggles which can really grab the attention of the reader to connect and feel the same way she does.
If I were basing the conclusion on how I would have behaved, I would have had Chrissie disintegrate into nothing because she had such a huge part of her life ripped away from her. But, I think Catherine Bateson’s ending is much more pleasant, and definitely touches my heart.
Is the cover a good thing or a bad thing? Are there any cover songs that you have heard and have grown to like more than the original? Perhaps there are songs that you have heard and have later come to the realization that it is indeed a cover song. This is the case for me. However, my feelings on cover songs vary depending on the particular instance. I think the cover is a good thing now days. There are many new songs that I have heard and have later realized that it is a cover song. I probably would have never heard the original song if it wasn’t covered. On the other hand, in the 50s when rock and roll was building a foundation for itself, I believe that cover songs were a bad thing.
...ctor to tell him of his mother’s pains, he is uninterested. “My mother wants you to come”, says the young boy. “Leave me alone”, replies the doctor in a drunken stupor. “You’re that woman’s son, aren’t you, the pregnant one who thinks she’s a princess” (221). When the doctor is finally convinced to check up on Cristina, he only makes matters worse. Upon his arrival in Vitto’s room, Cristina notices his condition and says: “You smell-like a liquor factory” (225). He takes no notice of these remarks, showing no concern for the life of the baby or Cristi. Although he manages to deliver the baby, we find that Vittorio’s mother has died during the night due to excessive bleeding. Dr. Cosabene’s ignorance has brought death and pain to a family that has been reduced to two, a young boy and his little sister.

History is not created through chance, but instead it is made through the work of inspiring individuals. An example of this would be how the Soong Sisters affected both China and other countries with their intelligent and powerful attitudes toward the world. Although they were known as sisters, these three women worked independently for many of their most powerful years, and eventually separated because of their husbands. Soong Ching-Ling and Soong Mei-Ling were more influential and significant working alone than together because of their personalities, their husbands, and their different influences upon different audiences.

Lastly, I also learned that nothing ends up how you want it to be. For example, Cheryl loved working with seniors but she decided to leave the hospital and just work in a family clinic van, called Echoing Green. She is the president of a non-profit organization, that takes care of any patient to change problems without them going to the procedure of a hospital. The Doctors ' Diaries is a very interesting film that leads me to understand more what goes on, on an everyday doctor
Surgeons have a lot on their plate when it comes to their work. Surgeons are doctors who are specialized in certain surgeries and operations. While being a surgeon there are many subspecialties that one surgeon could pursue (Field). Surgeons will diagnose and treat patients depending on their condition. They will perform a variety of surgeries on the every single part of the human body (“Surgeon”). It’s important for a surgeon to know everything about a patient’s medical history so they can perform their job to the best of their ability and also decide whether or not the patient needs surgery. They also ...
