SEPTEMBER 2019 One Timely Topic Five Stations. Five Perspectives. SEPTEMBER 2019 One Timely Topic. JTV News joins forces with four other public television news programs from across the country to report on an issue getting national attention: the legalization of cannabis for medical and recreational use. Cannabis Country brings those stories together to give viewers a full scope and N understanding of the hot topic. Examining the challenges for cannabis growers is KPBS (San Diego), from the financial investment to grow the crop to obtaining the state licensing and keeping the business afloat. “It’s far more difficult to make money in cannabis than most people realize and ultimately it’s going to be just like any other business….You have to create a real business infrastructure,” explains one grower. WGBH (Boston) digs deeper into the struggles between established medical cannabis providers and smaller entrepreneurial start-up businesses, while Arizona PBS investigates the struggles for would-be providers to obtain financing from banks for cannabis-based businesses. “We have to pay a lot of people in cash, which can be very challenging,” says one dispensary owner. “We have to have armed security at all times. And get cashier's checks or money orders to pay utilities.” WTTW (Chicago) weighs the controversial aspects and alleged benefits of medical marijuana, hearing from patients who swear it helps, but doctors who have yet to find proof of its remedies. Finally, NJTV News brings the story home, reporting on the legislative struggles to get recreational marijuana legalized in the Garden State, including the criminal justice system implications. NJ lawmakers recently called off a vote to legalize adult-use recreational marijuana that would have also expunged the records of PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 AT 8PM Learn more at njtvonline.org thousands of residents convicted of possession.

  • My Life at Shaare Zedek
    From 1906 until 1916 I was a nurse at the Salomon Heine Hospital in Hamburg. (Salomon Heine was the uncle of Heinrich Heine who wrote a poem about this hospital.) The first time that Jewish nurses sat for examinations by the German authorities and received a German State Diploma was in 1913. One of my colleagues and I were the first Jewish nurses who received a State Diploma in Germany. We both passed the examinations with “very good”, and the German doctors especially praised our theoretical and practical knowledge. In 1916, during the first world war, I left the hospital and started out on my way to the then called Palestine. I arrived in the country in December of that year. The following events influenced my decision to come here. Dr. Wallach went on a trip to Europe when the hospital urgently needed a head nurse. He inspected several hospitals and, among them, the Salomon Heine Hospital in Hamburg, which impressed him especially because its structure was similar to that of his own hospital. Dr. Wallach turned to the head nurse to ask if she could spare a nurse who would be willing to serve as head nurse for him. Four nurses of the hospital had already been put at the disposal of the State. She thought that Schwester Selma might like to serve her war service in Palestine. Dr. Wallach came to this country at the end of the 19th century, a native 5 of Cologne. His coming was prompted by sheer idealism and also by his religious attitude.

  • The Nation's Matron: Hattie Jacques and British Post-War Popular Culture
    The Nation’s Matron: Hattie Jacques and British post-war popular culture Estella Tincknell Abstract: Hattie Jacques was a key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, condensing a range of contradictions around power, desire, femininity and class through her performances as a comedienne, primarily in the Carry On series of films between 1958 and 1973. Her recurrent casting as ‘Matron’ in five of the hospital-set films in the series has fixed Jacques within the British popular imagination as an archetypal figure. The contested discourses around nursing and the centrality of the NHS to British post-war politics, culture and identity, are explored here in relation to Jacques’s complex star meanings as a ‘fat woman’, ‘spinster’ and authority figure within British popular comedy broadly and the Carry On films specifically. The article argues that Jacques’s star meanings have contributed to nostalgia for a supposedly more equitable society symbolised by socialised medicine and the feminine authority of the matron. Keywords: Hattie Jacques; Matron; Carry On films; ITMA; Hancock’s Half Hour; Sykes; star persona; post-war British cinema; British popular culture; transgression; carnivalesque; comedy; femininity; nursing; class; spinster. 1 Hattie Jacques (1922 – 1980) was a gifted comedienne and actor who is now largely remembered for her roles as an overweight, strict and often lovelorn ‘battle-axe’ in the British Carry On series of low- budget comedy films between 1958 and 1973. A key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, Hattie Jacques’s star meanings are condensed around the contradictions she articulated between power, desire, femininity and class.

THE UNCHARTED WATERS OF CYBERMEDICINE INTRODUCTION Dr. Leandro Pasos was an orthopedic surgeon who strug- gled to make a living and needed a job.' Upon reading a Seat- tle newspaper, an unusual advertisement caught his eye: Doc- tors with active licenses could earn up to $10,000 a month for conducting "fully automated online medical reviews."2 The ad was placed by Performance Drugs Inc., a company that mar- keted Viagra on the Internet. In response to the increased public demand for this drug, the company needed doctors to write prescriptions.3 For a salary of $5,000 a month, Dr. Pasos agreed to review questionnaires submitted over the Internet by prospective Viagra patients and to authorize prescriptions. However, last May, the Washington Medical Quality Assurance Commission cited Dr. Pasos for unprofessional conduct, and he was fined $500. Dr. Pasos was sanctioned by the Quality As- surance Commission because he was an orthopedic surgeon specializing in complications of bones and joints, rather than in ' See 'Cybernedicine' Raises Ethical Questions, THE NEWS & OBSERVER (Raleigh, NC), June 28, 1999, at A7, available in 1999 WL 2757600.

  • Some Aspects of Medicine in Pioneer Southern Indiana by Gerald O
    SOME ASPECTS OF MEDICINE IN PIONEER SOUTHERN INDIANA BY GERALD O. HAFFNER* On the frontier "infant mortality was shockingly high." "Sitting up with the sick" was a common occurrence. When a patient "pick- ing at the cover" was observed, this was regarded as a "sure sign of impending death" by the pioneers.' Good health and stamina were prerequisites for survival and, naturally, frontiersmen were interested in their physical well-being and were concerned deeply about their ailments. The medical men, living on the raw frontier, also had to be in good physical condition in order to practice their profession. Their hardships were many. They lost their lives "swimming the streams on horseback." The "hazards of the profession" -- such as, cholera, smallpox, measles, etc. -- were ever-present dangers. The distances that some practitioners rode to visit the sick were undoubtedly experiences in sheer exhaustion.' What happened when no medical men were available, which was often the case during the early phases of pioneering? In such in- stances the pioneers resorted to their limited knowledge of treat- ment or the advice of their neighbors. Out of desperation they often grasped the hand of some charlatan who masqueraded as a doctor. Thus, ignorance, superstition, and quackery were characteristics (along with prayer for spiritual strength) which cannot be dis- counted in the history of medicine on the frontier. When ill, the pioneer could avail himself of a variety of practices and approaches to his medical problems. One approach was a great number of home remedies, folk medicines, and folk cures. Of the home remedies, whiskey was high on the list.

  • February 2018
    FEBRUARY 2018 Penne, Parmesan & Party Politics ho’s in for a night of Italian cuisine and political discourse? In a third season of Pasta & Politics with Nick Acocella, the Politifax editor combines his two passions in a delicious talk show that will have viewers salivating for what’s on the stove as well as the juice of the conversation. W WIn the first few episodes, former State Senators Ray Lesniak and Joe Kyrillos show off their culinary skills in the kitchen. Lesniak, the second longest serving state legislator in history, dives into creating a meatball lasagna and recounts his involvement in the panorama of progressive issues like marriage equality and environmental protection. Kyrillos brings some flavor from his own family to the program — his brother’s summer marinara rigatoni recipe — and wittily observes his own political career history and motivation. Between debating beach replenishment and Superstorm Sandy relief, Congressman Frank Pallone whisks eggs, pecorino and pepper and sautés pancetta for a hearty take on spaghetti carbonara. To combat the rich creaminess of that dish, Congressman Donald Payne, Jr. whips up a heart-healthy no-carb pasta with roasted cauliflower, while speaking of his admiration and respect for those he has served with while representing New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District. A sure-to-please Italian meal of seared scallops over linguine with capers and lemon juice is prepped by Congressman Leonard Lance. After tasting his creation, Nick Acocella asked him about the instances when Lance defied his party leadership in both the State Legislature and Congress when his principles demanded it.

    Medical Frontiers: Women Physicians and the Politics and Practice of Medicine in the American West, 1870-1930 by Jacqueline D. Antonovich A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Professor Alexandra Minna Stern, Co-chair Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez, Co-chair Professor Anna Kirkland Professor Matthew D. Lassiter Professor Martin Pernick Jacqueline D. Antonovich [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-6295-7735 © Jacqueline D. Antonovich 2018 For my younger self. A single mother, working as a waitress, with only an associate degree in hand. You are my inspiration every day. ii Acknowledgements Years ago, when I decided to return to school to finish my bachelor’s degree, I never imagined that the journey would end with a Ph.D. I want to thank the History Department at the University of Michigan for taking a chance on me, and I also want to encourage them to keep taking chances on students like me – first-generation, non-traditional students bring a valuable and much-needed perspective to the academy. Alexandra Minna Stern is a phenomenal advisor. Her scholarly insight and professional mentorship has made this dissertation a stronger project, and I am a better historian because of her. My dissertation co-chair, Regina Morantz Sanchez, provided unwavering support over the past seven years. She has always taken my claims about the importance of medical women’s politics seriously, and graciously opened up both her home and her archives to me. Martin Pernick taught me not only how to be a pretty good medical historian, but also how to be an excellent teacher.
