"I did say yes to that date and did say yes to getting into that car so I Domestic Abuse had to work a little bit to qualify it as rape.

Somehow it is not as real unless Teen Pregnancy it happens to a woman being chased through the woods at night." No matter how hard Vicki Sexism tried, Jo was always a reminder of the man who raped her. "That night that he smiled and Teen Sexual Dialogue forced me to say that I liked it, when he laughed and promised we could do it anytime I wanted to, that was the night I turned into a shell and I lost my right mind." It wasn't until the day Jo was born that Vicki could feel again, though it took her longer to regain her sanity.

If I hadn't been so distracted by my phone or trusted my gut and Domestic Abuse not walked down that street with the broken lamp lights."

    Doctor of Medicine Program 20 Doctor of Medicine Program Doctor of Medicine Program Mission Statement and the Medical Curriculum The mission of the Duke University School of Medicine is: To prepare students for excellence by first assuring the demonstration of defined core competencies. To complement the core curriculum with educational opportunities and advice regard- ing career planning which facilitates students to diversify their careers, from the physician- scientist to the primary care physician. To develop leaders for the twenty-first century in the research, education, and clinical practice of medicine. To develop and support educational programs and select and size a student body such that every student participates in a quality and relevant educational experience. Physicians are facing profound changes in the need for understanding health, disease, and the delivery of medical care—changes which shape the vision of the medical school. These changes include: a broader scientific base for medical practice; a national crisis in the cost of health care; an increased number of career options for physicians, yet the need for more generalists; an emphasis on career-long learning in investigative and clinical medicine; the necessity that physicians work cooperatively and effectively as leaders among other health care professionals; and the emergence of ethical issues not heretofore encountered by physicians. Medical educators must prepare physicians to respond to these changes. The most successful medical schools will position their students to take the lead addressing national health needs. Duke University School of Medicine is prepared to meet this challenge by educating outstanding practitioners, physician scientists, and leaders. Continuing at the forefront of medical education requires more than educating Duke students in basic science, clinical research, and clinical programs for meeting the health care needs of society.

  • Diagnosing Drama: Grey's Anatomy, Blind Casting, and the Politics Of
    Diagnosing Drama: Grey’s Anatomy, Blind Casting, and the Politics of Representation AMY LONG N FEBRUARY 5, 2006 NEARLY THIRTY-EIGHT MILLION VIEWERS CHOSE TO forego post-Super Bowl celebrations in favor of tuning in to a Omuch-hyped episode of ABC’s hit medical melodrama Grey’s Anatomy. The episode thus constitutes ‘‘the best scripted-series perfor- mance since the series finale of Friends’’ in 2004 and ‘‘the best per- formance of an ABC show since an episode of Home Improvement in 1994’’ (‘‘Grey’s Scores Big’’). Grey’s Anatomy and its multiracial ensem- ble stand in marked contrast to the all-white casts of both aforemen- tioned shows, a fact that has not been lost on media observers. When civil rights groups issued their annual ‘‘diversity report cards’’ for 2006, ABC garnered the highest overall grade of the four major net- works (an A-), thanks in part to shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, and Ugly Betty (‘‘Grey’s Leads Charge’’). Its diverse cast and the production practices through which it was assembled have been the major focus of the media attention conferred upon Grey’s, second only to stories con- cerning the colossal audiences it routinely snags.1 The show’s creator, Shonda Rhimes (currently the only African American woman ‘‘showrunner’’ in network television), gives the credit for her show’s diversity to her ‘‘race-blind’’ casting methods. In her Time Magazine profile of the writer and producer, Jeanne McDowell notes that ‘‘[Rhimes’] script for the pilot had no physical descriptions [of its characters] other than gender,’’ a statement repeated in almost all of the popular press coverage the show receives.2 As Rhimes herself affirmed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, ‘‘We really read every color actor for every single part.

Jeanie Lauer, Rep. Kevin Austin, Rep. Shawn Rhoads, and Rep. Tommie Pierson Jr. House Resolution 5565, adopted by a unanimous vote of the House of Representatives on March 1, 2018, established procedures for the Committee. In particular, HR 5565 empowered and required the Committee to “investigate allegations against Governor Eric R. Greitens” and “report back to the House of Representatives within forty days of such committee being appointed[.]” It further permitted the Committee to close all or a portion of hearings to hear testimony or review evidence, and to redact testimony transcripts and other evidence to protect witness identities or privacy. Subpoenas were issued to compel the appearance of witnesses and the production of documents. Every witness before the Committee testified under oath. • On February 22, 2018, Speaker Todd Richardson indicated he would form a committee to investigate allegations against Governor Greitens (Greitens). In response, counsel for Greitens stated that they would “welcome reviewing this issue with the independent, bipartisan committee of the Missouri House of Representatives.” Counsel promised to “work with the committee,” after faulting the Circuit Attorney for the City of St. Louis for refusing to meet with Greitens.1 • On February 27, 2018, the Committee was formed by Speaker Todd Richardson. • On February 28, 2018, Chairman Barnes made contact with attorneys Ed Dowd, Counsel for Greitens; Scott Simpson, counsel for Witness 1; and Al Watkins, counsel for Witness 3.

  • Grey's Anatomy
    The Language of Race & Class in Shonda Rhimes’ Grey’s Anatomy Daniel Lefkowitz Department of Anthropology University of Virginia [email protected] 1 April 2017 Author Profile: Daniel Lefkowitz is Associate Professor of Anthropology and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Virginia. His early work focused on the politics of language use in Israel, published as the 2004 Oxford University Press book, Words and Stones: The Politics of Language and Identity in Israel. More recent work on the sociolinguistics of Hollywood cinema has been published as a 2005 Semiotica essay, “On the Relation between Sound and Meaning in Hicks’ Snow Falling on Cedars.” Abstract: This essay contrasts the visual hyper-presence of racial diversity in Shonda Rhimes’ Grey’s Anatomy to its aural absence, arguing that two episodes from the show’s 2nd season construct diametrically opposed visions of the role of white and black forms of non-standard speech. While non-standard forms of language that construct blackness are – when they appear at all on the show – condemned as obstacles to the medical outcomes the show valorizes, non-standard forms of language that construct working-class whiteness appear frequently on the show, and are recuperated by the plots and characters. The sociolinguistic patterns thus re-instate hegemonic ideas about race that the color-blind casting Rhimes is famous for seeks to subvert. The Language of Race & Class in Grey’s Anatomy Page 1 Film studies has a long and serious engagement with the representation of race in Hollywood cinema,1 yet the discipline’s focus on visual aspects of films (at the expense of the aural and especially language, speech, and dialogue) leaves many impactful perspectives unexplored.

    Folklife Today March 2020: On the Road With Alan Lomax, a “By the People” Campaign from the Library of Congress Announcer (00:01): From the Library of Congress in Washington, D C W.H. Stepp plays fiddle (00:13): Stephen Winick (00:28): Welcome to the Folklife Today podcast. I'm Stephen Winick, the writer and editor in the American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress. And I'm here with John Fenn, the Head of Research and Programs at the Center. John Fenn: Hello. We are excited to tell you about an initiative in which the Library of Congress is crowdsourcing transcriptions of manuscript pages. Stephen Winick: That doesn't actually sound like it has much to do with folklife, but we promise you that it does. John Fenn: Right. And that's because some of the manuscripts we're talking about are the fieldnotes and other handwritten or typewritten papers of Alan Lomax. Stephen Winick: So let's begin by setting the stage a little. Alan Lomax spent almost 70 years as a folklorist and ethnographer collecting, archiving, and analyzing folk music. His career began in 1933 when his father, John Lomax, was asked to be the new head of the Archive of American Folk Song, which had been established here at the Library of Congress in 1928. And That's the archive that now belongs to the American Folklife Center, where John and I work. John Fenn (01:24): Yes. And in this role as head of the archive, John Lomax took charge of a large repository of manuscripts and cylinder recordings.

The "trapped" nature of its characters feels like Sartre's No Exit (and its classic line "Hell is other people"). And its foreshadow- ing of Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf is uncannily prescient, almost as if Albee "channeled" Strindberg in cooking up his own mixture of raucous verbal battle and deadly humor.

  • How Grey's Anatomy Fooled Me Into Thinking I Had Cancer
    Intersect, Vol 13, No 2 (2020) How Grey’s Anatomy Fooled Me into Thinking I Had Cancer: A Conversation on the Uses of Empathy and Misinformation in Medical Dramas Neil Wary Stanford University Abstract It’s often hard to distinguish between fact and opinion, especially in today’s age of media. This becomes a controversial topic once the media disperses information that could potentially be harmful to the public, particularly involving medicine. In this essay, a patient case is used as motivation to understand the complex relationship between medical misinformation in the media and empathy. Following is a discussion of how misinformation and empathy work with the human mind, and how medical dramas use them to their advantage. Then, Grey’s Anatomy is used as a case study to see how the show implements empathy and misinformation. Finally, an analysis of the positives and negatives of the medical drama is presented along with suggestions of how to improve medical dramas – particularly looking at possible outcomes for positive change in this medium of communication. Wary, How Grey’s Anatomy Fooled Me Acknowledgements To Dr. Rebecca Richardson, Program in Writing and Rhetoric Professor at Stanford University, for helping with the preparation and revision of this manuscript. 2 Wary, How Grey’s Anatomy Fooled Me A 19-year-old male with no past medical history presents in clinic with tachycardia. The patient was scheduled for a stress echocardiogram to assess heart structure and function. In the initial ultrasound, however, a mass was found in the patient’s heart.
