...Blood Banking and Blood transport During World War 2 blood transport proved to be a vital innovation for saving the lives of those wounded in the war and ultimately was a cause of the victory by the allies in the war. The first successful blood program called “Blood for Britain” and the first large scale blood bank both originated during WW2 and increased the efficiency in saving lives, due to advances in blood storage and transportation (“Charles Richard Drew”). This was important because during the war, injuries and blood loss were extremely common and an increased availability of blood likely saved the lives of many and kept soldiers in battle. According to Arrington, blood storage and transportation lead to the saving of a number of lives...

Truman grew up not like the other kids he didn’t play any sports because his eyesight was bad so instead he enjoyed writing and reading. Truman ended up running for the 33rd president and won, and during his office time he had a lot of decisions he made. Before Harry Truman dropped the atomic bomb, warfare had never seen anything of that technology before. Once the bomb was dropped you could see the smoke from miles away.

...the landmark case of Roe verses Wade gave women the right to own their own body with the decision of whether or not to have an abortion. Women were battling for equality as well as the right to vote. This suffrage was a long drawn out battle through the years but finally was won. Women’s roles during all three wars, the Spanish American War, World War I, and World War II, included nurses, clerical positions, and they back filled spouse’s duties at home. A “New Woman came about in the 1920s as women changed their attitude along with hair, make-up and attitude. All of the progressions were won due to persistence. Women have played a significant throughout the wars in America, not just stateside but abroad. “The Spanish-American War created a substantial need for military nurses” (Small, 1998). Dr Anita Newcomb McGee became the nurse’s bureau chief. This was the first time contract nurses were hired to in military hospital. In September 1918, 1,100 nurses were serving in the United and overseas. During World War I women were allowed to serve in non-nursing positions performing clerical duties. 34,000 women served in the military and 10,000 served as nurses in World War I. During World War II nearly 350, 000 American women served in uniform, both at home and abroad (NationalWW2museuum, ND). These women took clerical jobs, drove trucks, worked on planes, served as radio operators, and any other job a man did. They were there to support their country. “Franklin D. Roosevelt's...

...The Subject Gerard Corning Galen Decision Making Process Vivian Bearing, an English Professor. She teaches English poetry and specializes in interpreting sonnets. She is very passionate about her work and life takes a turn for her after she was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. In relating and adjusting to the results of her sonogram of her ovaries Dr. Kelekian relays everything in medical terms which can be extremely confusing to someone who is not in the medical field. He did not use any empathy when talking about her treatment plan. Instead he just told her what her plan was rather than giving her options and letting her choose for herself. His experimental treatment plan consisted of 8 extremely high doses of chemotherapy for 8 months. He informed her that she needed to be strong and dig deep down into her willpower. She signed her consent form even though I feel she was not accurately informed on what she was in for. Human as Research We look at the people who are involved in her care Jason Posner, a very young fresh out of school doctor. Whenever he would interact with Vivian he never spoke to her like a patient but rather as a subject. It seemed that all he cared about was the results, when he examined Vivian he had her put her legs up into stirrups, a positioning device that is extremely uncomfortable for the patient. Vivian felt very exposed especially when Jason walked out of the room and nearly left the door wide open. Every interaction Jason had with...

...Diseases and illness were not gone forever after the Civil War there were still people fighting them during WW1. But prevent for these were evident, measures taken were mobile laboratories, antitoxin, tetanus, and vaccinations against typhoid. Outbreaks still occurred though such as the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918. With outbreaks like this though, it reminded doctors that they can not stop discovering medicine and new medical methods. Then in Cleveland George Crile started introducing doctors to a method of anesthesia. He brought 3,000 gallons of nitrous oxide and performed demonstrations using this mix. With this it created just enough to put a patient to sleep, but not enough to overdose or shock them. The new method was very helpful...

...After that women again proved how strong and capable they were during WW2, when all the men were away fighting, the women stayed home and worked the jobs the men left and built and shipped over supplies that the men needed to survive in the war. Women were making guns, ships, they were becoming engineers, and nurses. They survived without the men and helped the men survive on the battlefield. Later on, after the war, women continued fighting for their rights, which included equal rights in the workplace. Women have had to fight harder than men because men seem to feel that they are entitled to so much more than women just because they are males. They feel that just because they are physically stronger and more imposing than women that they can do more and that the women should stay at home and obey. Thankfully in the 21st...

...them. One of these places was a 6 bed home that was started in 1736, in New York City called Bellevue, over the next 100 years or so it became known as Bellevue Hospital and it is still around today. During this time frame there were a few more charity hospitals that opened their doors, one was in New Orleans, and the other is in Tennessee which is still around today (National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems). Public hospital as we know them today came into being from 1860-1930, before that time people would get any medical treatment that was needed at home, this included giving birth, surgery, or treatments for any illness. Starting around the time of the civil war hospitals had physicians, and nurses who would treat and care for the sick and injured. When a hospital was established and had trained staff it became a key component in the expanding medical culture (National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems). All hospitals before the 1920’s worked without much money, doctors would donate their time and the cost for nursing staff, was low. But for the first time hospitals did need significant funds to operate, the reason for this was the staff was becoming professionalized, and the doctors and surgeons started to get paid (Barton, 2010). During the 20’s hospitals were a place that a person could go to get treated or maybe cured of illnesses and...

...Dr Rosalind Hearder stated that “Captivity in war is a difficult and confronting experience, regardless of the particular conflict.”. In this extended response, I will attempt to explore the ideas behind this statement, while looking into the varying experiences of prisoners during the second world war. When looking into the treatment of soldiers during war time, it is important to have an understanding of the Geneva Convention. The Geneva Convention is essentially a just agreement to ensure safety of those caught in the crossfire of war. The idea for the Geneva convention came about in 1859 due to Henry Dunant. He was visiting Italy for business, and witnessed an example of neglect as a direct result of the Battle of Solferino. “[He]...

...The effects to the environment and humankind caused by war Cause and Effect Essay Professor Kelly Gehlhoff Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for English 112 English Composition Two Pueblo, Colorado May 2012 Abstract War causes devastating and often irreversible effects to both humans and the earth. Throughout history, armies have burned the enemy’s crops, rivers have been damed, and water supplies have been poisoned, all in the name of war. The consequences these wars have on humankind include death, injury, dislocation, and malnutrition, which falls hand and hand with the destruction of the environment. Warfare is a terrible thing, bombs destroy life, tanks and other military vehicles damage ecosystems beyond repair, battleships pollute the oceans, and chemical and nuclear weapons have the potential to end life on this planet. The effects to the environment and humankind caused by war In the recent past there have been tragic results of war on the environment and humans, from World War I to the present day Gulf Wars. The ultimate fear is that war will have taken such a toll on the Earth, its inhabitants, and its natural resources that there will not be a world left for humankind to live in. Armed forces destroy their own ecosystems, as well those of the enemy, to win wars. Forests may be stripped of all timber to eliminate hiding places and oil wells, fresh water, crops, land and the animals are ruined to...

...Critique of Research Article Name Instructor Unit Date Medical articles can be well analyzed based on the content, the reputation of the authors among other useful information. However, it is paramount that evidence based practice (EBP) be adopted when analyzing an article. According to Sackett et al (1996, pg 71-72) “Evidence based medicine is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients”. The best available and current research is utilized in making a judgment about the article in question (Drisko and Grady2012). The research article, Healthcare Providers’ Intentions to Engage in an Interprofessional Approach to Shared Decision-Making in Home Care Programs: A Mixed Methods Study by Legare et al., presents views of the healthcare providers in the implementation of the interprofessional approach to shared decision-making (IP-SDM). In addition, it evaluates their intention for engaging in the program. The IP-SDM program has been gaining popularity in Canada but it is yet to be incorporated into the healthcare system (Reeves et al., 2008) Interprofessional approach entails the engagement of different professionals within the healthcare system, where all contribute towards the achievement of a common method of patient care. In addition, the aspect of shared decision-making entails the development of a system that involves the patients in determining the type of treatment that is given...

...Lesotho Case Study “Market and Mountain Kingdom” Bob Terry 10/8/2012 Wk 7Assignment Globalization & Regionalization Globalization is international integration of cultures, people, products, beliefs, and much more. Globalization makes goods and services available to locations that originally wouldn’t have them. Some of my favorite restaurants are Brazilian Steakhouses like Texas de Brazil and Fogo de Ciao. These restaurants would not be offered in Denver Colorado without globalization. Globalization has increased greatly over the past century due to advancements in technology, particularly in transportation and knowledge sharing (internet). These technologies have ingrained globalization in the modern era. Regionalization is the economic integration of countries. Some good examples of these are the North Atlantic Free Trade Organization (NAFTA) and the European Union (EU). Both of these agreements take countries that are in similar regions and in certain economic ways. All countries in the EU have the same currency which creates certain benefits but has also created economic disaster for many countries involved. The goal of regionalization is to benefit all countries involved and become stronger globally as a whole. These two forces have had tremendous impact on the small African nation of Lesotho. Foreign influences have shaped Lesotho throughout history and currently determine their economic factors today. Most recently trade agreements have made Lesotho...
