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!

Anglesey Abbey

Last Sunday was BEAUTIFUL. It was fall on steroids. It demanded to be basked in the sun and appreciated out of doors. So I biked to Anglesey Abbey with one of my friends from my program. The ride was about half an hour and it took us along the River Cam, through fields, over bridges, and along country lanes through towns called Fen Ditton and Stow cum Quy. We wandered through the grounds and were persuaded to get National Trust memberships--financially motivated to travel around the UK and get our money's worth. Also, is there any faster way of gaining my approval than having a secondhand bookshop on the grounds? No, I really don't think there is. Cheers! The footpath was closed for construction, so we had to cut across the field, which led us to a bridge that we had to carry our bikes up and over. But on the other side we came across a secret tire swing that we never would have seen otherwise.  ...

Accidental Syphilis

I love when doctors throw shade in the correspondence section of the British Medical Journal Marshall, James. "Accidental Syphilis."  The British Medical Journal  1, no. 4558 (1948): 953. http://www.jstor.org/stable/25363587.

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...
