Overall I found the movie to be quite interesting and exciting at times but a bit slow in others. The story itself was very clear to me and didn’t cause any confusion. It had a good flow also, just as you were on the verge of falling into boredom with a scene they switched it up on you to keep you

Red was married for 50 years and has been a widow now for 10 years. Red has one son, Jon, who takes care of the farmhouse and the land. He has one daughter-in-law, Judy, who is in involved with his care. Red was diagnosed with diabetes six months ago. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition that affects your body 's ability to use the energy found in food. As of only a few weeks ago, Red has been managing his diabetes with insulin.

All medical providers have a duty to protect the health and dignity of their patients. Even if that is the intention of the provider, specific ethical dilemmas in healthcare may arise making it difficult for the provider to make an ethically appropriate choice. Wit, directed by Mike Nichols, takes the viewer through the healthcare of Dr. Vivian Bearing, an English professor, as she embarks on an eight-month experimental treatment to hopefully cure her stage IV ovarian cancer. As Dr. Bearing undergoes this treatment, ethical issues arise regarding her healthcare that compromises her well-being and dignity. George D. Pozgar points out that ethics is concerned with values relating to human conduct that focuses on the rightness and wrongness of actions, as well as the goodness and badness of motives and ends.1 It is clear in the film that the actions taken by the medical providers, violated ethical principles within the scope of health care such as patient dignity and respect, patient autonomy, and consent to research/treatment.

Revealed through his words, the doctor first tries kindness; “Awe, come on, I coaxed, just open your mouth wide and let me take a look.” (Williams, 1984) However, the reaction from the girl is repulsive, forcing the doctor to be firm. The young girl’s character shows the conflict of her role as a patient and that of her personality. This is revealed by the fact the she is spoiled and

The movie Glory was a wonderful depiction of the group of men involved in the 54th Massachusetts colored regiment. The men of the 54th regiment were part of the first black regiment to serve in the U.S. military and were all volunteers.

The men of the 54th regiment put up with stereotypes and unacceptable training conditions - while being consistently being challenged to actually stay in the military and not desert. Glory depicts all of the issues that surrounded the 54th regiments black solders and white captions with amazing

Instead, the author used up real patient cases to raise his points and support his arguments. For example, he mentioned how one of his patients who were diagnosed to have diabetes had to undergo dialysis treatment three times a week and how that patient’s condition dwindled as a result of both the advancement of her age and of the disease she had been diagnosed with; and later on, how her family members decided to issue a full code so that in an event where her heart stopped beating, the members of the medical team would do attempt to revive

Evaluation: Overall, this documentary had very good information that I plan on using in my definition essay. The statistics were very informational and easy to understand. I plan on using many of the facts about diabetes, and how much it’s changed over time in my next essay also.

For those individuals who could not afford insulin, it took a burden on their health as Banting and his producers did not make it cheap. The average diabetic who could afford it required about 20 units per day of the type of insulin produced in the early 1920s. “Thus, as Rutty explained, “...an average diabetic could pay around $1 per day for the first available insulin vials, which would be the equivalent of at least $12 per day in 2006.” That is a tone of money for a diabetic to spend on themselves. If Banting and colleagues made the medication free, this miracle discovery could have helped everyone who was affected by diabetes in the 1920s. Therefore, the miracle would have occurred for those who could afford insulin in the first place and for those who could not afford it, they would disregard the solution as one that cost too

The only thing that disturbed me in my opinion was the latter half of the movie, where it goes through an enormous time skip and tries to take itself seriously, which in my opinion changed the pacing drastically. The latter half also takes place after the death of the Spiral King and explains what’s going on in the world such as: politics, government and etc. It didn’t suit the type of mentality this show was providing and just gave me a “what happened?” type of vibe. This really dragged down the movie until later in the film it decides to ditch the serious act and start blowing stuff up again. In doing so they’ve created the most astounding climaxes in animation in my opinion. I would really love to say that this movie was perfect from start to finish but the time skip and the show decided to take itself seriously dragged on and was unnecessary.
