Patients and doctors have one major thing in common: illness. Patients are sick and doctors treat the illness if necessary. In this case, Vivian Bearing is the patient while the two medical researchers treating her are Harvey Kelekian and Jason Posner. Each individual has their own needs, aspirations and goals to relate to in the play W;t, written by Margaret Edson. Because individuals are just that, individuals, each of these traits can coincide or conflict with another character. Goals are logical and calculated, aspirations are emotional and inspiring, and needs cannot be avoided and are necessary for survival. Goals are usually about achieving, refining, and focusing on an outcome. Therefore, they can limit and create a narrow approach to the world. On the other hand, aspirations are broad and create new possibilities. There are more pathways and options available, with a better sense of opportunities as they arise. Needs are finite things, motivating forces that compel action to obtain satisfaction. Two needs coincide between the patient and the medical researchers:; one) be thorough when researching and presenting information, two) the people aspect of their career and life. All three strive to present as much information as possible while Bearing listens and dissects terminology to try to understand Kelekian and Posner describe stage four ovarian cancer and the procedures that will follow its treatment. She also refers to the books she read for information while listening to them. Kelekian and Posner examine him several times as his illness progresses to collect their data and Kelekian uses Bearing while teaching the study...... middle of article...... project . His dedication to Dr. Kelekian and his work is so strong that Jason doesn't realize how impersonal he is. They both want to keep patients alive, but fail to take individual desires and feelings into account when interacting directly with them. Dr. Bearing approves of the way Dr. Posner carries herself because she also has a strong appreciation for detail due to her academic work. Both Dr. Bearing and Dr. Kelekian agree that Posner has an excellent command of detail in the Great Observations. (p.….)Dr. Bearing, Dr. Kelekian, and Dr. Posner in Margaret Edson's play W;t each have needs, goals, and aspirations. Some of them are based on individuals, while some coincide with another character and others conflict with another character. Either way, it all comes together to form a unique insight into how each of the three doctors work and live..
