...Most people may tell you that they’re inspiration in wanting to pursue a career in medicine is because a relative or a near death experience, but I have neither. My inspiration comes from having a mother that was a nurse and hours of binge watching Grey’s Anatomy and other medical show. Yes, I understand that you might be thinking that “Grey’s Anatomy is nothing like what a real career in medicine is like” and while I do understand that. The show inspired me mostly because of the terminology they use. Although, it is the same in most shows. When I did not understand what they diagnosed a patient with I quickly went on google and researched that disease or whatever immense word they quickly spoke. After that I had a deep amazement in the medical...

...How you chose your topic: For our 2016 Nation History Day topic we are focusing on William Williams Keen and his advancements in neurosciences and neurosurgery. We decided on this topic because we are both huge fans of the medical drama Grey's Anatomy. This show has inspired us Grey's Anatomy is interesting because as well as having a lot of drama, it has quite a bit of information about medicine and specifically surgery. We find this TV show topic very interesting, so when we were thinking about an NHD topic we decided that it had to be medical. We came upon the specific topic of William Keen when we heard his name mentioned in season 11 of Grey's anatomy. When we looked him up and discovered that his studies and discoveries were both exactly what we wanted to focus on as well as fitting the topic of exploration and exchange we decided to do him. How you selected your presentation category and created your project: We decided on a documentary because we felt that our topic could be more thoroughly explained with visuals. We also thought that Keen's story would make more sense told in person than in writing. We created the project by first collecting a lot of information on his life. Once we had enough, we made a script, including everything that we wanted to include. Finally, we were able to record our voices and put tog ether our pictures, videos,...

...They say a person either has what it takes to play or they don't.” “My mother was one of the greats.” “Me, on the other hand, I'm kind of screwed.” This is where it all began. Do you remember the time when Netflix was only eight dollars a month and you’ve just started watching a new TV show for the first time? But, before you know it, you are watching every episode a thousand times because the show is so great and you can’t get enough of what you’re watching, no matter how many times you see it. Well, that’s how I remember the time before I got hooked into Grey’s Anatomy. It was the summer before my Freshman year of high school and I was sitting on my bed scrolling...

...see anymore. By the time I had finally gotten comfortable on the lumpy waiting room couch, a young man appeared through a door that I had failed to notice. My mom and dad both jumped up from their seat, I stayed where I was. My mom told me to come along and we followed the man down a long white hallway. He brought us to another waiting room where he took a seat opposite of my mom and dad. He introduced himself as my brother’s surgeon. He had a long pointy nose with tiny glasses that rested on the end. He began explaining what he did to my brother. He pulled pictures out of a folder to clarify the jargon he was using. All I gathered from the man’s fancy words was that my brother was in a coma. I thought back to all of the episodes of Grey’s Anatomy I had watched and began to panic. Was he going to wake up? Would he remember who his family was? The questions were racing in circles through my mind like racecars at the Daytona 500. I sat silently while my parents bombarded my brother’s surgeon with questions. The surgeon was very patient and helpful. After my parents had asked their millions of questions he led us down another long series of hallways to yet another waiting room. This one was filled with people. It was the intensive care unit waiting room. We sat down and began the waiting process again. Little did we know, we would practically live in the waiting room for the next twelve days. A petite young woman with large red hair opened the locked doors and yelled my last name...

...Teamwork is defined as the combined action of a group of people, especially when effective and efficient. The film Powaqqatsi by Godfrey Reggio and the show Grey’s Anatomy written by Shonda Rhimes are two perfect examples that showcase the idea of teamwork. Is it better to work alone or as a team? The film Powaqqatsi has a scene that shows groups of people dancing in costumes, performing for people. In this scene the people are happy, they all have smiles on their faces and are enjoying the company of the people around them as they dance and create music together. The idea of working together is also portrayed in the episode “Flight” of Grey’s Anatomy. The plane, transporting six of the Seattle Grace doctors, just crashed to the ground and...

...The How to Guide: From Grey’s Anatomy to the Real Thing “What do you want to be when you grow up?” has been asked throughout everyone’s childhood. Since elementary, we had firefighters, policemen, doctors, and even zookeepers come in to persuade us that the career they have chosen is a terrific career. I always wanted to be the coolest person there but, once I grew up and went from fantasyland to reality world, I realized it is not about the cool guns, stethoscopes and suits that you can have, but, it is the time (and money) you invest towards college. Although college is an optional path for life, not much can be done without the additional education. Usually, the first or second question on a job application asks about school history. I decided...

...Form and Function The relationship between Form and Function is central to the study of biology. George Cuvier, the ‘father of comparative anatomy’ laid out in his theory of ‘the correlation of parts’ that similarly appearing anatomical structures should have similar functions and this similarity should be used to group or diagnose organisms and their structures (1). Further exploration of four examples in this paper will more clearly show that the function of any ‘thing’ is related directly to the form of its construction. To exemplify this connection between form and function let’s look at the construction of the largest organ of the body, specifically the layers of tissues found in the Skin or Integumentary System, as it’s known in scientific terminology. Constructed of two major layers (Epidermis and Dermis) the skin contains several types of epithelial and connective tissues. From a very cursory examination it’s clear that the skin is a durable, flexible and strong substance. Go a bit deeper and examine these layers for a more in depth evaluation of their form and the layers of the Epidermis and Dermis clearly declare their function from their form. The Dermis, constructed of a layer of connective tissue in the Reticular Layer, underneath the Papillary layer filled with capillary networks of blood vessels feeding the Epidermis up above. The Epidermis then is comprised of multiple layers of cells comprising four or five layers made up of Stratified Squamous Epithelial...

These three men are always mentioned when the subject of who are the Great Greek men of the past who made a significant impact on the world. Hippocrates is another great Greek genius who made a significant impact not on Philosophy but on the field of Medicine. He is considered one of the most influential figures in the History of Medicine. He is referred to as the “Father of Medicine” because of his endless contributions to the medical field as the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine. He created a school which revolutionized medicine in Greece because this school would eventually establish medicine as a separate profession. He changed the perception of Greek medicine with his revolutionary vision that disease was not caused by gods or spirits but was the result of natural action. The life of Hippocrates will be discussed in further detail such as his early childhood & life, his work, and his contributions/accomplishments to the World until his death. Hippocrates was an ancient Greek physician, who is also called the "Father of Medicine". He was born on the Aegean island of Cos which is near the island of Greece called Halicarnassus during the Classical Greece era towards the end of the fifth century B.C.E, around 460 BC.

...We started with the introduction to anatomy by defining it as the scientific discipline that investigates the structure of the body. I have discovered that there are two basic approaches to the study of anatomy are systematic (by system) and regional (by area), the latter which is more commonly used in most medical schools. And of course studying the structure is not enough, this is where physiology comes in which is the scientific discipline that deals with the processes or functions of living things. I have known homeostasis as the maintenance of the relatively constant environment in the body but it is only now that I have learned about positive and negative feedback mechanisms which maintain homeostasis and that positive homeostasis can be detrimental at times. I’ve also learned more on the anatomical terms that will be used throughout our course and maybe even in med school. In the study of cells, I was able to recall the things we have discussed in our biological science course in the previous year. I remember the three types of solution namely hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic. I also come to know more about the different movements across the cell membrane. However I was new to the transcription and translation that happens in the gene expression of a cell. I was able to associate codons of the mRNA strand with the anticodon of the tRNA. Similar to cytology, I was also able to look back on our discussions about tissues last year. I have refreshed myself on the...
