Jonny Got His Gun


We are about to read “Jonny Got His Gun” and did an anticipation guide and had to write about one of these questions.  I choose # 7 which says “Medical Professionals should take into account the quality of life a person they are attempting to save.”  To this question I disagreed because no matter the amount of money a person has or the highest standard they should be treated like anyone else in that hospital.  When my grandpa was in the hospital and in a coma like state, I would hope that the doctors and nurses treated him the same as they treated anyone else.  We are all human beings and we all are special in our own ways.  I understand that some people and more important and have more money but that is no reason to help someone less.  If two people are In the hospital for the same exact reason but one of them is high in the social classes, rich, and family orientated, and the other one is a family orientated middle class worker, would you treat the rich one better that the middle-class worker?  With in many of our subconscious we decide that if someone is famous and well known they get help faster and try harder than you would try on anyone else.  I would hope that when my grandpa was in the hospital they did not treat him differently because he was a veteran or he was a very family oriented man, I would hope that the hospital tries everything they could help him but they did the same thing with the person in the room next to us.  Everyone in this world is special and important we should not judge we should not overlook someone who needs help; we should help and show that everyone is special and we treat everyone with respect.
