Creativita on HubPages
Hello: I'm a PUBLISHED CREATIVE WRITER (Poetry, Book Critiques, Humor, Magazine Articles, Short Fiction, Playwriting) and a HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL, with a DOCTORATE IN PSYCHOANALYSIS, and a MASTERS IN CREATIVE WRITING...
I spent 18+ years on MEDICINE (sic and sick) AVENUE as a senior copywriter and creative director (creating advertising campaigns aimed at varied specialty physician audiences) on Rx drugs - and the diseases and conditions they treat - from Abilify to Zoloft, from Ampicillin to Zovirax, from Anaphylaxis to Zits. In other words I know, in depth, all things medical, psychiatric and pharmaceutical from A to Z. AND, I write about health/medical/psychiatric subjects equally as superbly to academic audiences in their erudite terminology and to lay readers in easily understandable everyday language.
My writing tends to hook the reader in, to keep him or her interested enough to read more, to never put the reader to sleep, and to wrap up the piece with a memorable climax, idea, denouement, or stimulating final thought about the subject at hand...something that somehow inspires the reader to think more about what I'd just written.
My clinical hospital experience and expertise - not to mention the wealth of images, concepts and medical language that over the years has expanded my brain power - amply inform my creative mind and provide a much enriched vocabulary for my varied writing endeavors.
My personal life has been, in some ways, unique: I grew up from ages 2 to 17 in two orphanages. Never had the advantage of family life as a child. Worked my way through college for several semesters in the daytime while practicing as a registered professional nurse in hospitals on the midnight to 8 a.m. shift.
I raised my son, the actor - a handsome, intelligent, athletic/poetic/humorous soul - while building my career in medical advertising. Now, my baby boy has his own baby boy who is adorable, articulate and humorous and who just turned 5 years old today (May 1, 2008).
I've always been a "fighter." Meaning, I'm an advocate for people I feel cannot speak for themselves, or who are not able to articulate their difficulties and their needs. As such, I'm most agrieved at the plight many patients suffer due to bad doctoring, bad nursing, bad drugs, bad hospitals, bad insurance companies, progressively lowering "standards of care," and just plain unethical healthcare practices that are ongoing. Patients deserve better. Americans deserve better.
I'm risking myself, both creatively (periodical editors aware of my Hub Pages and my stance, won't give me writing assignments) and financially (no nursing or psychotherapy recruiter will offer me work either) because it's important that these issues be addressed. Thanks for listening. See you on my Hub Pages. - Creativita
