In today’s news, a young man almost lost his life in a motor vehicle accident on the highway. Police officials say that he was driving above the speed limit when a car switched lanes and hit him off his bike, tossing him 300ft from where he got hit..We have also been told by police officials that he is in intensive care at the moment, and may survive this fatality. Let’s turn to Cassidy for more info on the accident.

(we could have people murmuring in the background like an actual hospital setting)

Cassidy: Hello! I am here with the head pharmacist on this case, Abigail Bloom, where she will be giving us inside details on her role in the healthcare team with helping this patient. First off, what are the conditions of your patient and how has the healthcare team helped him survive so far?

Abby: I just want to say thank you for having me today. The patient is suffering from a concussion, a broken arm, and multiple broken ribs which is affecting his breathing. He was put into immediate surgery to fix the broken ribs and arm and other trauma caused by the accident and is now in recovery.

Cassidy: What role do you have, as a pharmacist, in helping this patient?

Abby: 

Cassidy: Thank you Abby for your input and we wish the best of luck for your patient. Back to you Peta-Gaye.

Peta-Gaye: Thank you Cassidy. Unto today’s second news reporting. There is a 5K charitable event being held in Saco, Maine for individuals who are suffering from alcohol addiction. This event will be held from 11am to 5pm today. The goal of this event is to highlight how traumatic alcohol could be to the human body if go untreated. Many people don’t view alcohol addiction as a disease, but if you live, breathe and drink alcohol to the point where you couldn’t do without it; then it is problematic. So come on down to support the charitable event being held in Saco, Maine. Let’s head over to Abby and Cassidy in Saco, Maine.

Abby & Cassidy (Interviewee)

Abby: Thanks Peta-Gaye. Right now I’m here with Dr. Grass. I just wanted to ask you a few questions pertaining to what you do as a trauma pharmacist?

Cassidy: Okay.

Abby: What happens to a patient who is addicted to alcohol when they are in the hospital? 

Cassidy: It would seem like a simple solution to give them alcohol to calm them down, but hospitals are allowed to provide alcohol.

Abby: What would you do in that circumstance then?

Cassidy: Instead of giving them alcohol, we give them a drug that stimulates the brain the same way that alcohol would.

Abby: Thank you Dr. Grass. Now back to you Peta-Gaye.

Peta-Gaye: Thank you Abby! That’s a wrap for today and thanks again for tuning into Navigation News Center 5. See you tomorrow and have a great day!

Very Dry Run

Journal #17

I think that there is a lot of room for growth before our final video. I like the starting point of our project so far. I also think that we should try and not stray away from the main purpose of this project. It’s easier to get caught up in the minor details and forget what our main purpose is. I think that once everyone has the fake microphones that I’ve created, the tone and mood that we are trying to portray will be a lot easier for us. We would be practicing as if we had a real microphone and it would also help with muscle memory. This way we could know our speeches without a paper in front of us. I also think that if we practice with an audio source, it could improve our speeches by providing cues to when we should say our part during the dry runs. The intro and outro music could show us flaws or loopholes in our project before it’s too late. I also think we need to get together and talk about each scenario. This way we have a setting stone as to what’s really going on in terms of what we want to say, background information, and other things. Right now,  I feel as if our project is lacking that.

Dry Run

Journal #18

I liked the introduction portion to the video. I think we should work on the introduction a little bit more to make it seem more realistic. I think that for each part we need to add some pictures to each scenario in order to bring the story to life. I feel as though a lot of the pharmacy things we want to say is in our presentation, but we just don’t say it. For instance, pharmacists can work in many hospital settings, but for this situation it is geared towards trauma pharmacy. I also think we are too focused on the general concept of the story path. I also think that since we aren’t doing a talk show, we need to work on setting the mood and tone in order to carry the project in the way it needs to be carried. The mood and tone can make or break the story line. I was thinking of adding a type of reporting that reaches the community in a way. Kind of like a heart-warming moment that pharmacists are actually compassionate and want the best for their patients. I want to deplete the idea that all we do is fill prescription bottles, and don’t do much socialization with our patients. One of our main job is to educate our patients on the medications that we give to them. I also think that with the way that the script is flowing, to actually add in the editing ideas and to work on transition in between scenes because that would make a major difference. Overall, it’s not a bad start.

Cassidy & Abby(pharmacist in this role) at the hospital

Cassidy: Hello! I am here with the head pharmacist on this case, Abigail Bloom, where she will be giving us inside details on her role in the healthcare team with helping this patient. First off, what are the conditions of your patient and how has the healthcare team helped him survive so far?

He was put into immediate surgery to fix the broken ribs and arm and other trauma caused by the accident and is now in recovery.

Cassidy: What role do you have, as a pharmacist, in helping this patient?

Abby: As a pharmacist, I work with the interdisciplinary team, meaning I work with other medical professionals like the Medical residents, and the surgical team. More specifically, I look at how much medication adequestly controls his pain through IV and I try to determine when he can start taking oral medication and how much of it he needs. 

Cassidy: This seems like a very emotionally challenging job, so why did you choose to become a Pharmacist?

Abby: I chose to become a pharmacist because I want to help others live and lead healthy, dignified, and productive lives. 

Cassidy: What are a few of the joys behind becoming a pharmacist?

Abby: It would be knowing that you can improve the lives of others. As a pharmacist, you can build a more trustful relationship with your patients so that you can give more personal, in-depth care.

Cassidy: Thank you Abby for your input and we wish the best of luck for your patient. Back to you Peta-Gaye.

Peta-Gaye: Thank you Cassidy. In today’s second news reporting, a 5K charitable event is being held in Saco, Maine for individuals who are suffering from alcohol addiction.

Cassidy: Okay.

Abby: What happens to a patient who is addicted to alcohol when they are in the hospital? 

Cassidy: When a patient is emitted to a hospital with alcohol addiction, they could suffer from alcohol withdrawal and die as their body is used to large amounts of alcohol every day. It seems like the simple solution would be to give them alcohol to calm them down and keep them from dying, but hospitals are not allowed to provide alcohol to patients.

Abby: What would you do in that circumstance then?

Cassidy: Instead of giving them alcohol, we give them a drug that stimulates the brain the same way that alcohol would.

Abby: Is it hard being a pharmacist in this type of situation?

Cassidy: Yes, it is difficult being a pharmacist in a trauma setting, but I know I’m helping the patient recover and improve their lifestyle in the long run.

Abby: Thank you Dr. Grass. Now back to you Peta-Gaye.

Peta-Gaye: Thank you Abby! That’s all we have for today. Remember to stay tuned to Navigation News Center 5 for your weekly news, weekdays @5am.

Speech 4 Video

Green Screen Video

Journal #19

I think that speech four was somewhat relaxing in a way. It wasn’t as overwhelming as trying to prepare a whole speech by myself, but it definitely took a lot more communication in order to pull this off since one of our classmates lives off campus. I think we forgot to add noise to the hospital scene, but it probably would have become a distraction. Also, I could have held the microphone a little higher in order to seem a bit more into it, but it’s the nerves. I was a little worried about the editing portion because I can’t edit anything even if my life depended on it. I applaud my classmate for being able to magically put everything together. I can’t really say much about the audience’s reaction because it’s not as if we we’re actually telling jokes, but I felt as if we caught their attention. I know that I need to work on slowing down when I speak. The news anchor role fit me because I like the minor detailed stuff. It appeals to my informal method of giving a speech. From the feedback I got in class, I was able to suggest ideas to help tie our project together as to why we chose to become a pharmacist. I definitely think that if I didn’t rehearse for two hours before we filmed, then we probably wouldn’t have completed the video. Abby Bloom wrote out the script of what we were going to say originally, and we all made modifications to it. Getting props together too took time, but we did it.
