The movie “Wit” is the heartbreaking story of a middle-aged woman named Vivian Bearing who is diagnosed with stage four metastasized ovarian cancer. She accepts a vigorous experimental treatment of "full dose" chemotherapy where she is treated less like a human and more like a guinea pig by her oncologist Dr. Kelekian and her former student Dr. Jason. She experiences the severe side effects of chemotherapy which cause her to reflect on her life through flashbacks. The flashbacks travel to various periods of her, such as her childhood, graduate school, and professional career, before her cancer diagnosis, where she realizes that she too could have been kinder to others. Vivian Bearing is a mid-level single. elderly woman who prides herself on being an uncompromising and extremely difficult university professor of 17th-century English poetry. When she receives her diagnosis from Dr. Kelekian, she seems to take it very well and is realistic about her prognosis, but as her severe treatment and illness progresses, she wishes she had asked more questions regarding the treatment. She experiences severe side effects from “full dose” chemotherapy treatments, such as nausea, vomiting, fever and chills. In the film, Vivian recounts how she was asked "How are you feeling?" » while vomiting into a basin. He is asked this question so often and so regularly that it begins to completely lose its true meaning. The treatment Vivian receives from Doctor Kelekian and Doctor Jason is almost intolerable. At different points in the film, we are exposed to the severe care provided by the two doctors, but especially by Doctor Jason. She is treated scrupulously and carelessly and less like a human being...... middle of paper ...... research experiment and not as a patient or with the decency she deserved. Some of the things the doctors did to Vivian were so unethical and so inhumane that it makes one cringe just to think about them. Luckily for Vivian, Susie was the light at the end of the tunnel. She provided compassionate, kind and professional care. It is hoped that in the future I will be able to embody Susie's qualities and show them daily to my patients. In nursing school, we are so focused on knowing the science behind everything or getting our medications on time that we forget why we became nurses in the first place. We became nurses so we could take care of others who couldn't take care of themselves. Susie was the true definition of a nurse and provided Vivian with compassionate, patient-centered care, allowing her to die in a dignified and meaningful way..
