presents "Project OES"

As always, SCOME AA projects try to work on the medical education system both by augmenting and improving.

Project OES (oral exam simulation) is not an exception. We all can agree how nerve racking oral examination can get. To alleviate this our projects plans to give a refresher of how things can get in these exams.
Cooperative seniors will be assigned from each department and they will give us the simulation which will be as similar as possible to the exam.
The Simulation will be for Short exam (Physical examination)

This Google form is "Needs assessment" for the project.

The project can only be done if enough students wants the simulation to happen. Thus, please fill the form since we will be registering students for the program from this form.

Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman in America to receive a medical degree, was born on February 3, 1821, near Bristol, England. After moving to America with her family in 1832, they faced financial difficulties following the death of her father in 1838. Alongside her mother and sisters, Blackwell worked as a teacher to support their needs.

Inspired by a dying friend who wished for a female physician, Blackwell decided to pursue a career in medicine. Despite the prevailing norms of the time, which excluded women from medical education, she persisted in her ambition. In 1847, Blackwell applied to medical schools in Philadelphia but faced rejection from all. However, she was ultimately admitted to Geneva College in New York, albeit mistakenly due to what was meant as a practical joke.

During her time at Geneva College, Blackwell faced discrimination and exclusion from lectures and labs. Nonetheless, she earned the respect of her professors and peers and graduated at the top of her class in 1849. She furthered her training in London and Paris hospitals, where she witnessed the importance of preventative care and hygiene practices that other doctors often neglected.

Upon returning to New York City in 1851, Blackwell encountered widespread discrimination against female physicians, resulting in limited patients and challenges in practicing in hospitals and clinics. Undeterred, she opened a small clinic to provide healthcare to impoverished women. Eventually, in 1857, she established the New York Infirmary for Women and Children with her sister Emily Blackwell and colleague Marie Zakrzewska. The infirmary not only provided medical care but also created opportunities for women physicians.

During the Civil War, Elizabeth and Emily Blackwell focused on training nurses for Union hospitals. In 1868, Elizabeth opened a medical college in New York City and appointed Emily as its head. She then returned to London permanently in 1869, where she became a professor of gynecology at the newly established London School of Medicine for Women. Additionally, Blackwell played a pivotal role in founding the National Health Society and authored notable books, including her autobiography, "Pioneer Work in Opening the Medical Profession to Women" (1895).

Elizabeth Blackwell's unwavering determination not only allowed her to overcome gender-based barriers but also paved the way for numerous women seeking careers in medicine. Her contributions to healthcare, medical education, and the advancement of women in the field continue to inspire generations of future physicians.

How do you cure one drug epidemic? Create a new drug. That’s what happened in the late 1880s, when heroin was introduced as a safe and non-addictive substitute for morphine. Known as diamorphine, it was created by an English chemical researcher named C.R. Alder Wright in the 1870s, but it wasn’t until a chemist working for Bayer pharmaceuticals discovered Wright’s paper in 1895 that the drug came to market.

Finding it to be five times more effectiveβ€”and supposedly less addictiveβ€”than morphine, Bayer began advertising a heroin-laced aspirin in 1898, which they marketed towards children suffering from sore throats, coughs, and cold. Some bottles depicted children eagerly reaching for the medicine, with moms giving their sick kids heroin on a spoon. Doctors started to have an inkling that heroin may not be as non-addictive as it seemed when patients began coming back for bottle after bottle. Despite the pushback from physicians and negative stories about heroin’s side effects pilling up, Bayer continued to market and produce their product until 1913. Eleven years later, the FDA banned heroin altogether.

✨✨September 24 marked a significant milestone for our bookclub -our first in-person meeting and discussion! ✨✨

Our club had been reading Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" for the past month. It was such a great pick and served as the perfect catalyst for a lively conversation.

We shared our favorite scenes, then delved into the philosophical realm, sparking thought-provoking dialogues about objective morality and utilitarianism, concepts brilliantly woven into the fabric of Dostoevsky's masterpiece.

The meeting was not only intellectually stimulating but also immensely fun! The excitement was palpable, and the passion for literature undeniable 🀩.

We've picked αŠ αˆα‹ˆαˆˆα‹΅αˆ as our next read. We hope more of our members will join us on the next discussion! if you're not a member and are interested in joining our bookclub, you can contact us : @aman_13i @animated_dust @Idiosyncraticflux

The surgery with 300% fatality rate ☠️

Before the advent of anesthesia, speed was very important in surgery to minimize patient pain, and the Scottish surgeon Robert Liston was considered the fastest surgeon of his time. Liston once amputated a patient's leg in 28 seconds, while accidentally cutting off his assistant's fingers. Liston's patient and assistant eventually died of sepsis, and one witness to the operation died of shock, making it the deadliest operation in history.
