Esmin Green fell out of her chair in the waiting room of Brooklyn’s largest psychiatric hospital nearly an hour before anyone realized she was in trouble. For 20 minutes Esmin writhed and twisted between two chairs under the surveillance of security guards and two other staff members passed through the room and glanced at the 49 year old woman, without bothering to check her vital signs or to see if she’s alright and 40 minutes later she stopped moving, a nurse walked over and kicked her.

The author mentions that “public hospitals across the country have struggled to provide acute psychiatric care to the poor and uninsured since the early 1960’s. And also mentions that with insufficient outpatient services and a dearth of community-based support, the least fortunate of them have ended up in already over taxed emergency rooms. They are the poor, the uninsured and the undocumented; many suffer from chronic conditions that could potentially be treated with medication and regular counseling, luxuries most of them cannot afford." I feel that this passage is significant because I’ve experienced this with patients working as a nurse in a hospital. I agree with the author that with little or no insurance you don’t get good service in public hospitals; instead you spend your whole day in the waiting room before even seeing a doctor.
I remember when a patient came in sick to the emergency room and waited to be seen for six hours before he was seen by the doctor and waited another twenty minutes before the doctor actually came in to the waiting room to check him and tell him what was wrong. When that happened I thought to myself that poor man. The hospitals need to provide more care for the patients physically and mentally to better the quality of life for people. If doctors and staff took better care and put in more time in the situation of peoples sickness rather then how their getting paid then a lot of people would at least live longer. But if the patient has no money they will be the last to be cared for.
But if the patient has no money they will be the last to be cared for, In conclusion The hospitals should have more of a solid community base support team and sponsors  to donate to the hospitals to help the poor and uninsured patients, to help better hospital services and save  lives

one of the important choices neo makes is to leave the matrix to learn the truth. Another choice he makes is to save morpheus knowing that he might loose his life.He also accepted the fact that he is the  choosen one which abled him to use his  powers like the agent's. Neo made the decision to train and they were strengthening his muscle to fight the agent's  to keep them from getting the code to the world. The important choice that shows me he is the hero of the story is he stood up and fought the agents till he defeted them and that when he saw all the codes before him.It was then he able to see the light.

In the essay I know the truth so dont bother me with the facts" by jeffrey kluger . He stated said by nisbet repeated exposure to rebuttals from variety of sources , if presented in an increase, the accurancy of beliefs overtime.Even when people do take the time to learn the facts,however,the effort often does no good.Garret cites a body of studies showing that when subjects are presented with data that contradicts their beliefs,they often paradoxically-respond by leaving to their biases more tightly.Some or that may be simple ego-none of us like being told were wrong.But some investigators are looking deeper conducting studies of the brain to see how the prefrontal cortex the seat of the reason and theamygdala, the seat of fear and other primal emotions,light up or power down in such situations.What the author was saying is that people live up to what they grew up hearing,learning,knowing so even if the truth was posted on a platform in front of them with all its proof they still wouldnt take heed to the truth because people do not want to live outside of their comfert zone because of fear.No matter what the scans and other students reveal of course its up to us to find a place in a world of facts and make our decisions based on that information-at least if we hope to get anything accomplished.we may not always agree on what those facts.mean,but at a minimum we need to agree that they mean more than fantasy.We need to explore our horizons,up our mind set expecting what is relivant, true in order for us to grow and learn at least.If we give truth a chance more could be accomplished even if we may not agree to disgrace all aspects at least moving forwerd we will be more open to except truth.I remember when i was younger i was about 6years old,my illusion was the tooth fairy.I believed that when my tooth would fall out  so the tooth fairy could take my tooth and payed me for it.But what made me not believe in the tooth fairy more,was my cousin she told me the tooth fairy was fantasy that my parents were the tooth fairy taking my tooth and putting money under my pillow so that night I pretended to be sleeping and I saw my mom come into my room take the tooth out from under my pillow and put the money it was then i saw what i believed to be true was a fantasy so i no longer believed in tooth fairy.So like the people in the allegory of the cave who believed in shadows of one  how could they see anything if they were never allowed to move their heads.

the essay mentioned that someone can have no legal right to be present in the country but be entitled to a very exspensive and valueable benefit of citizenship is absurd on its face. I disagree with the senator of illinios for making it exspensive for non citizens to attend school in the state,especially when non citizen parents help support the pell grant, federal loans,research grants that are part of university budget.

      The senator should take that into consideration when passing the laws knowing that. I feel the senator should let non citizens pay less because non citizens also have other priorities as well to pay such as their family to feed and support with essential needs like food, clothing etc so how could they afford these in school thats a bit much but if the senator lower the course now no immigrants will be able to have a higher education in illinois support them selves and family,contribute to the state in other ways like going to parties or spend more money site seeing in the state. they will also be able to afford to buy the books needed for the classes they have to take and have more money for other unexpected cost.

In the article it says public hospitals across the country have struggled to provide acute psychiatric care to the poor and uninsured since the early 1960's.When large mental hospitals began closing their doors en masse.The author believes that many of the patients who suffer from chronic conditions can be treated with medication and counseling.The author also believes that the mentallly ill typically wait twice as long for treatment as other patients populations do.
    I agree with the author the patient deserve proper care and should not have to wait hours on end to be seen and recieve service in the hospital.they shouldnt be discriminated against just because the person may be physically ill with or without insurance.They should be examined and given proper medication to cure their condition..I worked in the hospital and i see how the patients are treated they will come in and sometimes their sickness or symptoms is not even that bad but if they have no insurance they will be the last to be seen.Like the women waiting in the waiting room of brooklyns largest psychiatric hospital,who died thats very unfortunate because she died of blood clot in her leg and nobody realized till after 40 minutes of her laying their dead..Had Esmine Green go the proper treatment she would would have been alive today..Hospitals, emergency room's should access patients sooner then their doing because with no insurance,mentally disturbed,chronic illness,we are all humans and deserve to have a place in the medical emergency rooms.why should patients wait alot of deaths could be prevented if more facilities had more of caring support team.
   In conclusion the hospitals should have more of a solid community base support team.more sponsors to donate money to the hospitals and emergency room more of caring nurses,doctors and staff to care for the health of people and wellness of them rather than just think of money and how their gonna get paid because  at the end of the day.Without patients,hosptials can function the more people thats cured then doctors and nurses wont have to worry about emergency rooms or hospital being overcrowded and not having enough beds for patients.

In the allegory of the cave man  socrates said '' I said,let me show in a figure how far our nature is englightened or unenlightened:- behold! human beings living in a underground  den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them,being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads.like ourselves,I replied ;and they see only their own shadows, or the shadows of one another ,which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave.how could they see ''The people were perplexed because they believed in a lie so much that when they were told the truth with proof they still were in denial.The truth was a lie an illusion and the lie  they lived for them was the truth so even  though they were shown the light they still choose to live in the darkIt's hard to except change when living a certain way for many years, the reality of it all cannot seem to make sense it will always seem foreign.
