Sickened

Product Information

When her daughter turned 18 she got her a gastric bypass, persuaded the doctor it was the only possible thing that would help the girl. Diets had failed (she hadn't actually tried any in reality, in fact it was the mother that stuffed her to get her fat enough to qualify for the operation). A gastric band was too temporary, nope it had to be the whole nine yards. The poor girl was seriously ill with various illnesses related to the gastric bypass operation, in and out of hospital for months. I was sorry but did wonder if the mother was gleeful at yet another illness and a real one at that to be able to involve herself constantly with technical medical talk with doctors. Now if I challenged this lady about all these illnesses and chronic disabilities her family suffer from, she would turn on me, she is only doing her best... That's another thing she's good at. Turning on people. It keeps everyone, including her husband from actually saying anything. Good defence! Although she can sometimes get a bit cranky when woken up, Pebbles usually has a calm and loving demeanor. Well, honey, I just can’t see my little girl go out there in a bathing suit and get laughed at. You got no tits, no hips, no ass, Sissy. You look terrible in a bathing suit. Kids are cruel, sweetie, they’ll just make fun of you,” (154).

As I got older I tried to talk about these things to some of the school counsellors but they didn't really believe me. It wasn't a time in our society when kids were taken seriously for this kind of stuff. The entire time I read this book, I was screaming in my head. Giving the riot act to the doctors to the father to the social workers that turned a blind eye. I was just as bewildered and pleading as Julie as, watching the doctors slice her open when nothing was wrong. He looked at her and I could see in his face that he thought there was something wrong with her. He got really stern and he said “she doesn't need anything more. She doesn't need open heart surgery” and he just turned and walked away. Marc continues to enjoy good health, to learn, and to share with others what has been working for him.

The complex and dynamic nature of pain makes its assessment and management challenging for healthcare professionals. Various pain scales are available that can assist in identifying the patient’s experience of pain; however, these tend to reduce this experience to a measure of pain intensity. The use of pain scales also requires patients to communicate and describe their pain; when this is not possible, it is necessary for healthcare professionals to observe patient behaviours that may indicate pain. Various observational pain assessment tools have been developed to assist in recognising and assessing pain. This article discusses the various pain scales and observational pain assessment tools that are available, and the evidence to support their use. You'd think something with this much drama would manage to avoid being boring, but it wasn't the case.

Although table food is usually too rich and fatty for canines, the Gregory family will sometimes throw their furry friend a bone. From there they manipulate the positive response that nurtures them, becoming aggressive and overpowering over that parental response, to mimic what happened to them in childhood."
