For my Ethnography piece on the Health/Medical Field topic, I plan to write about something that I deal with every day: a doctor’s office. Although I work at a doctor’s office and more or less see the same things every day, I feel as though this assignment will give me a chance to try and look at things a little differently. I plan to pay attention to more details. Things that I will cover in my Ethnography include but are not limited to: the general dynamic of the office, behavior of coworkers, the schedule of doctor’s/practitioners on a day to day basis, and the interactions with patients (anonymously of course).

I think it will be interesting to try and look at something I see/deal with every day from a different perspective. Also a piece like this will give me a chance to grow as a writer because it is something that will challenge me. This is not a piece that is similar to anything I have ever done before, therefore my level of comfort isn’t very high. I enjoy the idea of challenging myself to think outside the box to write a decent piece.
