WGW: January 22nd, 2020

Every week I send out an update to the medical school, which gets send out as part of WGW (What's Good Wednesday), an email where the associate deans of students compiles the professional and academic accomplishments and life events of the student body in an effort to help keep us connected even though we are spread out across lecture halls, campuses, and hospitals across the state. Usually populated by sporadic submissions of significance, after talking with friends before I left, I decided to twist the format to suit my needs to stay connected to my class. After the fifth week of consistent submission, my update was given it's own special place and title: Kassel's Corner. 
Hello from the UK! Kassel Galaty (Med21?) is still living that sweet, sweet sabbatical life, and, now that Med20 is transitioning to residency, she is starting to accept that she may in fact be a Med21. The term has really, truly started and with it lectures! This week has been filled with topics like the "Pathologizing of Sexual Deviance: A History," "Decolonization of Science," and "The History of Science and Modernity." Once again she has an essay due Monday so send good philosophical  vibes and karma her way. During her studies she came across one a rather compelling essay on bioethics: 


Between the lectures and the writing she hasn't done much in the way of fun, but she is still rowing, which means she's up by the time the sun rises. Enjoy these pictures of the sunrise. They may not be a view from the aerial tram, but they're not bad. 



Cheers!

After the fifth week of consistent submission, my update was given it's own special place and title: Kassel's Corner.  Greetings from the UK!  Kassel Galaty  (Med21, I suppose) continues to study in the UK. Brexit happened, but we don't talk about that here. Notable talks this week have been about the History of CBT in Ghana, meeting the Canadian astronaut Jenni Sidey-Gibbons, and "Pick your Poison: Insectic...

Birds of the National Archives

I spent three days in early November pouring over the archives of the Ministry of Health for my first essay, which was about the failed attempt by the NHS to standardize medical records in 1965. The  National Archives has a pond out front and every morning I enjoyed being greeted by the diverse fowl outside. Hope you do too! Heron (?) Mid-downpour Swans on the move. A million times less graceful out of the water than in it.

WGW: November 20th, 2019

Every week I send out an update to the medical school, which gets send out as part of WGW (What's Good Wednesday), an email where the associate deans of students compiles the professional and academic accomplishments and life events of the student body in an effort to help keep us connected even though we are spread out across lecture halls, campuses, and hospitals across the state.

After the fifth week of consistent submission, my update was given it's own special place and title: Kassel's Corner.  Salutations from across the pond! Kassel Galaty (Med20 wannabe) stubbornly remains in England. Crunch-time is approaching as her first essay is due next Monday (send eloquent, concise, and historically illuminating vibes her way) so this is mostly what she has been doing: She has so many b...
