Hannah Shinder: Week 9- Doctors Helping Ukrainians

    Not only is there a major crisis currently with the Ukrainians due to the Russians,  but many have more issues as well. Like every other human, many have health conditions that they cannot forget about while also trying to leave their “war-torn country”. Many Ukrainians have successfully left and made it to Poland where they are being treated by health officials from Warsaw and other places as well. 

    The head of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology at the Medical University in Rzeszow, which is about an hour from the Ukrainian border, says they are dealing with a lot of Ukrainian patients that have been diagnosed with cancer and hematological diseases. Even though these people are going through one of their hardest times seeing their homes become a war zone is traumatic, but their health is also an important factor. This is why many doctors outside of Ukraine are taking initiative and helping those since it is hard to do close to home. For instance, The U.S.-based St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital partnered with hospitals and doctors all over Europe. 

    Yarsalava, who has acute leukemia, was being transported from Ukraine to Ireland, Or her transportation process, she developed an infection. Yarsalava’s mother said that since arriving in Poland, she has been treated and getting all the support that she has needed. It is heartwarming to see that “28 countries and more than 201 clinics across the world are offering support for young patients”. 

Would you also help those in Ukraine? How does it feel knowing that doctors are aware and helping?

    I feel awful to all those in Ukraine suffering from the war, and from other day-to-day issues, whether serious or insignificant. I'm also thankful, however, to all those that are willing to put in time, money, and effort without anything in return in order to help the people of Ukraine who desperately need it.

    The situation in Ukraine is crazy, and the fact that so many health associations and medical professionals are helping is heart warming and it helps remind us that people can be good. Of course I would help out those in Ukraine. I am really happy that everyone around the world is helping the Ukrainian people stay healthy during these wartimes.

    I would definitely help the people that are in Ukraine getting hurt, killed, getting taken out of their homes for no reason, and more. And i'm glad there are doctors that are there to help.

    I would surely assist those in Ukraine who are being injured, killed, or forcibly removed from their homes, among other things. And I'm grateful for the doctors who are willing to assist.

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
