health in the medical field

I want to start off by saying that I am not a doctor or anyone who is in the position to give any medical advice. Once again I am not a doctor, I am posting this to shine a light on one of the least known jobs in our health system.

The job I am talking about is Patient Safety Attendant or better known as Patient Sitter. This is job is very under appreciated job in the hospital. The job entails a person who has CPR training at the least to keep visuals on a patient or patients( 2 is the max to watch for one sitter) for a minimal of eight hours. The hard part is being ripped from our socialist world for that long with no access to the outside world. You are not allow to have cellphones, iPod,iPad, or heavy reading materials. You must keep your eye on the patient and take mental notes of the patients' activities and the activities of the visitors.

The reason I think this is a hard job is because the  human mind wonders and you are force to stop your body from doing something natural for a small amount of money. Some health systems will give you a hour break like to unwind from the stress cause by the patients where some will only give you 30 minutes. I can say for me in this job it is hard to work in that position for more than six month. I notice I started to form panic attacks and the feeling of "the walls caving in on me" even when I was at home.

I feel that more medical professionals should respect Sitters more because we are doing a job you do  not want to do. We do more than just sit on our butts. We have a more mental job and means that our job is 90% mental in which just because you can not see our work like nurses and doctors do not mean our job is less important. Please be more conceited to us and our needs cause this is a hard job too.

That Awkward Moment~ Movie Review

Hello Everyone!!

I am back with another movie review. This time it is for the movie That Awkward Moment starring Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan, and Miles Teller. This movie was funny, and I can not remember a moment in the movie when I was not laughing. I went to see this movie with a guy friend of mines, and let's say that everything they did in that movie represents a normal "bromance" while at least that's what I was told. The movie is about 3 friends who have fun and party. Zac Efron and Miles Teller 's characters work to design book covers and Michael B. Jordan's character is a doctor and the only married one in the group.

The movie shows about a 9 month time frame in the guys lives. Zac Efron was the player of the group, Miles Teller was the goofy(they called him the dumb one) of the group while Michael B. Jordan was the serious one. The movie shows how they each interact with women and how they deal with their relationships with women.

 once you see the movie you know why they each are holding their respected items in this photo.

The end of the movie was very "Disney" in my opinion. As in, the guy mess up loses the girl, the girl moves on but still the loves the guy, guy realize he was wrong and goes after the girl and they live happy ever after. Don't take it as I did not enjoy the movie because I did. It really help me to see my own male friends a little differently. I know I haven't said this in a while ,but it was a good movie, yet don't take my word for it go see it for yourself and when you realize how good it is then you know I did not lie to you.

What is a "Friend" to you?

What are friends to you? No, I'm not talking about these friends, but


according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary the word means:
a :  one attached to another by affection or esteem
b :  acquaintance
                                                                                             a :  one that is not hostile
                                                                                b :  one that is of the same nation, party, or group
                                                                                  :  one that favors or promotes something (as a charity)
                                                   :  a favored companion

Do you agree with this definition? I do in part. Yes, your friends are attach to you by affection. If something happen to your friend or even when they get sick, you always there to help them feel better. I don't agree so much with the esteem part because I do not understand what they mean by "esteem" in this content. 

By this definition, your mate can be called a "friend". This question came to my mind as I was hanging out with a long time best friend of mine. I always wonder how do we pick are friends. Is it true that our friends represent a part of us that we are not allowed to show do to our position in society? I also wonder what make you no longer want to be friends with someone. There are many different question that can come about with this definition, but I know for a fact in my case that my friends are my family, clear-mind in a storm, and shoulder to cry on. I could go on and on about this topic, but I want to hear from you.
In the comments tell me what the word "friend" mean to you.
