About This Topic

  

A descriptive essay is an essay that describes something like a person, location, thing, event, or process.  Descriptive essays can be non-fiction, but they can also be fiction.  The goal is to allow the reader to visualize whatever is being described.  Good descriptive essays evoke all of the senses, so that the reader knows how what is being described looks, sounds, smells, tastes, and feels.

Routine Shaving of the Surgical Site Select
The procedure selected for discussion in this paper is the use of cameras in the operation room. Cameras are used in the operation room when there are students observing the surgical procedure. The cameras are not used for all operations but are used in situations where it is necessary for demonstration purposes. This allows personnel outside the operation room to view the procedure too. In some cases, the cameras are also installed to provide documentary evidence in case of litigation brought against the hospital by the patient. The cameras are installed along with the surgical lights so that the proceedings can be recorded clearly and accurately.
