Oleander Soup for the Cancer Patient’s Soul Oleander is a plant that grows like a weed along freeways, big drought-resistant bushes that are poisonous when ingested. It’s been a cancer cure for centuries, described in the Bible as the “desert rose” and referenced in medical books since before the 17th century. Its healing properties are new to the West, however, after discovery by Turkish doctor, Huseyin Ziya Ozel, M. D., head of surgery at Mugla State Hospital in Turkey, who realized most of his cancer patients lived in zones above 600 meters (0.373 miles). Nerium Oleander only grows in the low-altitude regions of Turkey and is rarely found at altitudes above 1,970 feet. Dr. Ozel allegedly noticed Turkish villagers publically imbibing oleander

In 1819, he was born in a country, West Hills, Town of Huntington, Long Island. He was the second boy of a family interested in Quaker. And his father, Walter Whitman, named his sons after American leaders like Andrew Jackson, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson. It shows that Walt grew up in a kind of patriotic atmosphere. He started to go to school when he was 6, but 5 years later he had to stop studying at school because his family’s poverty.

He like the work and philosophy of Rene Descartes. He was awarded a bachelor degree in 1656 and a master’s degree in 1658 and finally obtained a bachelor degree in medicine in 1674. (www.trincoll.edu) He worked with notable scientist and thinkers during his time like Robert Boyle, Thomas Willis, and Robert Hooke. In 1666, he met Lord Antony Ashley Cooper, 1st Earl of Shaftesbury who was impressed of his talent.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid, which in high dosages can result in a decrease respiratory rate, hypertension and bradycardia that can lead to death if untreated (Olson et. al, 2010). Robert having worked in a hospital as a respiratory therapist gave him an opportunity as to how and when the medication could be stolen without detection. While his family slept, he went into the home and injected his wife and two children with lethal doses of Fentanyl.

When king Edward was dying he told his loyal servants and nobles to work with his son until he was old enough to rule but on the day of his coronation which was may fourth 1483 but Duke of Gloucester met with Duke Buckingham and stalled the coronation for a week and by the fourth they were still a ways from the city. Then they were to stay in the tower until June twenty second where Lord Hastings accused Gloucester of killing king Henry VI (Shuttlesworth, Dorothy Edwards, et al

Charles father wanted him to follow his footsteps and become a medicine doctor. Charles went to the University of Edinburgh to study medicine, but after two years he dropped out and went to Cambridge. There he met Henslow who was a professor in botany and invited him on the British vessel named “The Beagle”. The Beagle was going to the coast of South America and took five years to complete

but I think you should see it though mine. Let’s start from the very beginning. I was born January 19, 1807. I was the son to Henry Lee and Ann Hill. The place my mother birthed me in was Westmoreland County Virginia in Stratford.

There were 127 medical malpractice cases in Pennsylvania last year. An example of these cases could be an exploratory surgery to diagnose a patient and the incision became infected because the patient failed to clean the incision sight properly. Seems to me that the doctor was just doing his/her job but in the end, he/she got sued. Medical malpractice can be described as an act or omission by a doctor or physician that lead to the harm of a patient (Kindy). Certain laws and bills have been put in place to discourage people from suing doctors for problems that are completely out of the doctor’s hands.

First let’s talk about the movie 12 monkeys; his movie was made in America since 1995. The plot in this movie is: there is deadly virus wipes almost all humanity in 1996, this virus was extremely contagious because this virus transfers by the air, and so people were obligated to live underground. The animals were the only living thing in the streets. The movie says that this virus was created by an army called the “12 monkeys”. James Cole was a prisoner living in the undergrounds of Philadelphia, so in the year of 2035 Cole was selected for a mission, where he is trained and sent back in time to collect information on the virus in order to help scientists develop a cure.

Second, both Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass gained freedom. Booker gained his freedom when he was only 8 years old, because he was born in 1858, or 1859. As one might imagine, he was freed when Abraham Lincoln made the emancipation proclamation. Once he was freed, he settled into a town with his family and started working in the salt business, packing salt in barrels. Frederick Douglass, however, gained freedom when he was quite older; when he was 20 years old.

The experiments performed by German physicians during World War II were torturous, unethical, and unreasonable when considering better ways in which the research could have been conducted. Experiments were performed on non-consenting camp prisoners by physicians attempting to improve soldier survival rates and further knowledge in lesser-explored medical fields (Coleman et al. 16). Experimentation to find a cure for Malaria was performed from February 1942 to April 1945, during which time prisoners were infected with malaria and treated with different drugs in order to find the best cure. Coleman notes, “Over 1,000 involuntary subjects were used in these experiments. Many of the victims died and others suffered from severe pain and disability…”

Although, not all of these fatalities were from seized from enemy fire; nearly two-thirds of the total deaths were caused by diseases that struck those who were fighting. The idea that caused so many deaths was due to the spreading of germs. Surgeons would operate on open wounds and though many were to be treated, infections were persistent during the war and would slowly kill the soldiers whom it affected. Because of the death toll from the spreading of germs and infections, the Union states in the North began transporting wounded soldiers to nearby hospitals for medical care. Soon after officials realized the medical system needed to be revamped, the ambulance corps was put in place.

On March 30, 1842 he successfully removed a tumor from James Venable under sulfuric-ether. James woke up in a little discomfort, and no memory of the surgery. However, he did not publish his findings in writing. He also was a surgeon during the Civil War to both sides in Athens, Georgia. In 1846, Dr. William Morton was wrongly credited of being the first person to have used sulfuric-ether as a sedative for surgery.

(21) Over the course of the trials and sometime afterward, withholding the penicillin led to over one hundred deaths of men, women, and children. The ethical stipulations grew continually worse as more information was released, “The study continued, under numerous US Public Health Service supervisors, until 1972, when a leak to the press resulted in its termination on November 16 of that year.” (“Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment” 1) As Allan Brandt explored in his article, the basis of the study and the lack of severe punishment afterwards was based on a consensus, “Scientists speculated that in the struggle for survival the Negro in America was doomed.
