Logical Fallacies for 10/12/11

Rationalization- The news does this all the time especially with celebrities, when they do something wrong, they only get a slap on the wrist but if it was a person like you or me, we would be in jail or something pleading our case, to a jury that already knows their verdict.

Either-or- Politicians and stock brokers use this a lot to get and grab your attention by telling you if you don t do this or that, then you will lose this or that, as a matter of fact, I think that a lot of people use this method, including, Realtors, home insurance, health insurance to an extent.

Slippery Slopes- Environmentalist, if you destroy the earth by not recycling, and littering, then it will lead to the end of the earth as we know it.

When your opinion matters 10/7/11

It was my first year in the RT program here at Washburn, and I was doing my clinicals, when I went to see a patient that I had been working with all week when i noticed that the Doctor or nurse had prescribed a breathing medication that she was allergic to, and when I took the matter to the nurse, she ignored me and told me that I was just a student, and I didn't know what I was talking about. After arguing with her for what felt like a lifetime, I still didn't make ant lee way, so I went to the Doctor in charge, and pointed out my findings and after verifying them, he praised me and told me I could work with him any time I felt like it. To get a praise like that in the health care field is pretty big, and it doesn't happen very often. I don't know what happened to the nurse but I do know the patient recovered and went home two weeks later. I hate to think what would of happened if I hadn't of spoken up, and this is one situation that I don't regret stepping up too, and trust me there is a lot of situations where I wished I would of spoken up, and went with my gut feeling.

Muddiest point for 10/5/11

The muddiest point for me was the simple task of finding a topic. I wouldn't change the assignment it is pretty self explaining. I thought that this assignment was an interesting one and I wish more of my instructors used more writing in their classes. It really challenged me and what i think about the way things are
