...Medicinal advancements greatly impacted the 19th century. The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History states, “Medicine became recognizably modern in the 19th century, producing new inventions, new theories, new curative powers. { Along with} a rebirth of professionalism for both doctors and nurses.” The century put emphasis on innovation that followed in the 20th century. Anesthesia immensely changed medical practice. Before its introduction in 1852, surgeries were complicated. Since the patient could feel incisions, often times the surgeon was limited to the patient's pain tolerance. This heavily restricted doctors' abilities to thoroughly treat their patients. (IWD) Medical licensing was one of the major medical advancements. This dramatically decreased malpractice. The introduction of the medical licensing act sets guidelines of who was allowed to practice medicine. The act listed a 25 dollar fine for anyone found practicing without a license. Also only licensed physicians could recover fees (International Wellness...

...Dr. Lori Alvord’s is a part of two worlds where in one she is a surgeon and in the other, she is a member of the Navajo Nation. Despite a scalpel being some tool surgeons use, Alvord’s “surgeon world” is represented by the scalpel because she had to cut and sew pieces of her identity together for her worlds to co-exist. As it is stated in the introduction, “the words “Navajo” and “surgeon is not often seen together. (1)” Alvord had to perform an incision on her identity to give herself a functioning reality of her dreams and desires. Her Navajo Culture is represented as a silver bear because Alvord wears a trinket on a necklace which represents her Navajo heritage. Alvord stated, "The scalpel is my tool...but may 'Silver Bear', my Navajo beliefs...

It has been said that not too long after the deaths of Cynthia Parker and Quanah’s younger sister, that he prophesied that he would soon follow after his mother and sister. Quanah’s self-prophecy was nearly fulfilled, soon after he arrived in Texas he fell ill. White doctors were unable to help Quanah and he could not tolerate the white man’s food that his Grandmother Parker made for him. Quanah’s grandmother didn’t know of any medicine men who could help him so she called upon a Mara’akame which is someone who cures people with herbs. The Mara’akame woman was able to heal him, Quanah realized that part of his desire to die was caused by his anger which he acted through by ruthlessly killing Americans and Mexicans. Quanah decided to join the Destanyuka band of the Comanche, but he later went and formed his very own band called the Quahadi which ended up becoming one of the most notorious Comanche bands on the Great Plains. The Quahadis refused to sign the Medicine Lodge Treaty in 1867 and because of this they became fugitives who continued buffalo hunting and sometimes raiding...

...Alternative Medicine in the Philippines And Its Continued Popularity: A Study Bataan Peninsula State University Alternative Medicine in the Philippines And Its Continued Popularity The Philippines is one of the islands that were conquered by different countries back in the day. That is why a lot of foreign influences were brought up by those colonizations. One of them is alternative medicine. Alternative medicine is a variety of therapeutic or preventive health-care practices that are not typically taught or practiced in traditional medicinal communities and offer treatments that differ from standard medical practice. Homeopathy, herbal medicine, and acupuncture are types of alternative medicine. In particular, China was one of the countries that inhabited the Philippines. China and its traditional healing arts make up the integral part of Chinese culture. According to “The Practice of Shiatsu” (Anderson, 2008), acupuncture gradually took over in China as the primary form of medicine and traveled across Asia including the Philippines. As evidenced by the years of trade by the Philippines with China, the Philippines then inherit the traditional ways of healing through acupuncture that China practiced and it is still being practiced today. Alternative medicine was already popular back in history but it is taking popularity again nowadays. In order to understand what we know today, people go back to their roots and to the beginning of civilization. What we know...

...Morgan Gadley 16 September 2014 English 1102 Zhang Marijuana, The Game Changer In Medicine and Society Is marijuana as corrupt as society makes it out to be? Growing up, everyone is told that, “Drugs are bad for you,” time and time again. Now as a kid you don’t really appreciate the reasoning behind it, but you listen to your authority figure heedlessly. I remember being told this my entire life and even to this very day. But as I got older I realized that people would still use the drugs even though it’s unlawful. I could never comprehend why someone would go against the law and endanger their life just to use drugs? But as I got older I began to realize that these people truly didn’t do any harm to the public or to themselves by smoking marijuana. Many doctors and health specialist are advocates for consumers to smoke marijuana just because of its health benefits. Marijuana is the third most popular recreational drug in America other than alcohol and tobacco, but marijuana is the only one that can benefit you the most out of the three. Alcohol and tobacco are drugs that many people have died from and harms the body as time goes by. Other medication that doctors prescribe to their patients is painkillers, and they can really kill you. According to McKnight et al. (2014), “There were 14,800 deaths from opiate overdose in 2008, according to the Center for Disease Control, and none from marijuana” (p. 4). Pain is the anxiety of disease, the symptom that reveals that...

...Introduction Yunnan Baiyo Group (YB) develops traditional Chinese medicine. In 1902, Baiyo (originally Qu Huanzhang Panacea) was formulated by Qu Haunzhang (respected practitioner of Chinese Medicine) from an assortment of natural herbs in Yunnan Province. During the years, Yunnan Baiyao gained a great reputation in China for its ability to treat open wounds, muscular sprains, bruising and arthritis, and the ability to invigorate the blood circulation. This was effective in treating soldiers during warfare and it became a part of the first aid kid of the Chinese armed forces. Growth In 1996 Yunnan Baiyao Limited Co. and three other producers were integrated into Yunnan Baiyao Group Co. through joint shareholding. China became member of the WTO, which increased the competition landscape. In 2002 , Baiyao Da Yao Fang Ltd (a drugstore chain) was established and Wuding Planting Base was established to carry out the forward vertical integration. Industry players are adjusting to open market and multinationals were coming into play. Many of YB products had reached maturity and growth potential was limited in current state. To respond to current challenges YB established a series of strategies “one core and four growth areas”. The “one core” would focus on the YB headquarters and the three companies it had acquired, as well as the sales network. Symptoms In order to depict the problem for YB there were three issues.

...Many people throughout the world have a hard time understanding what it means to be a Rasta. For some their troubles in understanding Rasta’s come because they look at Rastafari as only a religion. When one does this they run into many problems. This is because Rastafari is much more than a religion. It is a way of life, a social movement, as well as a mind set. Another reason why western people have a hard time understanding Rastafari is because the movement lacks the structure that the western world is use to. A lot of people’s understanding of Rasta’s only goes as far as to think that Rasta’s are people that live in Jamaica, smoke weed, and have Dreadlocks. These people do not begin to think what is behind the movement. The Development of Rastafari The Rastafari movement stems from the teachings of the great Jamaican leader and motivator of masses, Marces Garvey. Garvey told the African people of the world to unite and to return to African, the homeland. Garvey’s vision was for the “Blacks to overcome their feelings of inferiority and build upon their own unique and evolving culture, and ultimately return to Africa to redeem their homeland and to build a future”(Dubb. Pg2) Garvey’s vision and ability to unite people made the Jamaican people enlightened to what was going on in the world. Garvey created the U.N.I.A. and the Negro World newspaper, which helped to inform the Jamaicans of what was going on in the African world. Garvey told his followers, “Look towards...

...Buddhist art is a form of art which is entirely or partially based on Lord Buddha and his teachings. It has a high practice of rich symbolic tradition. As Buddhism spread into different nations, Buddhist symbolism was enriched by the cultures it came in contact with. For example, Tibet has borrowed Buddhist art and culture from India since 7th century. The most popular symbolic art in Tibet is comprised of the Eight Auspicious Symbols and the mudras: the hand gestures used by Buddha. These symbolic arts are not simply for decorative purpose, but contain a depth of meaning within them. Tibet also uses sound for Medicine Buddha practices, and although it may seem to be an ordinary chanting, certain musical sounds are categorized as a sound healing medicine. This research paper will examine the symbolic and healing properties of Tibetan Buddhist art and explain their significance in the 21st century. Buddhism, founded in India 2,500 years ago, still remains the leading religion of the Far East that has advanced into a wide variety of forms. It wasn’t until 7th century that Buddhism arrived in Tibet which was comparatively late date compared with the rest of Asia.The religion, writing system, art and many other aspects of Tibetan high culture were obtained directly from India. During the 7th century, the emperor of Tibet, Songtsen Gampo, was fascinated by what Indian Buddhist culture had to offer, so he sent scholars to India for both religious and non-spiritual studies.
