The movie, Hedy & Heidi, was used to demonstrate the concept. Explains Focken, “Deaf Bing basically means ‘deaf tend.’ Deaf Bing is the Deaf community’s way of showcasing mannerisms and phrases that Deaf people tend to do or say, i.e., flicking lights to get someone’s attention. It can also be humorous, like knocking off “The math team did a fabulous job one’s glasses while signing.” for their first year,” said Villaverde (above).

  • More Verbal Remedies: Creative Writing by Medical Students 2016
    More Verbal Remedies Creative Writing by Medical Students 1 More Verbal Remedies Creative Writing by Medical Students Selected and edited by Helen Lynch and Olive M. Ritch 2 3 More Verbal Remedies Creative Writing by Medical Students Selected and edited by Helen Lynch and Olive M. Ritch 2 3 Foreword Why Medical Humanities and Creative Writing? The arts and humanities help us to make sense of our experiences, understand the world, who we are and perhaps who we want to be. As medical students and future clinicians the third year students who study creative writing, as their medical humanities option, are taking time to connect with this long tradition. Fundamentally, the aim of the medical humanities courses is to give the students the opportunity to change their focus and consider alternative perspectives. By engaging with experiences, stories, emotions and characters, in a very different way from the approaches of much of their medical studies, we hope that the students learn about themselves and expand their horizons. Each patient is an individual and each doctor-patient relationship unique because we are people living in layers of context from family dynamics through to global economics. Many of the medical humanities courses seek to generate a greater understanding of this wider context. Creative writing allows students to imagine and explore context. In order to write about a character you must step into their shoes, surely an exercise in empathy. Refining and crafting writing require reflection. To show empathy and to be able to develop personally and professionally through reflective practice are now familiar requests for the skills of today’s and tomorrow’s doctors.

  • Philadelphia's First Fire Defences 355
    Philadelphia's First Fire Defences 355 PHILADELPHIA'S FIEST FIKE DEFENCES By HARROLD E. GILLINGHAM History fails to reveal who first produced fire, mean- ing thereby the friendly fire for warmth and cooking; and it is equally uncertain who first thought of fire prevention, when the friendly fire became antagonistic. In the year 59 A. D., Lyons, in France, was destroyed by fire and Nero offered to have the city rebuilt, yet in 64 A. D., Rome itself suffered from a fire which burnt for eight days and two-thirds of the city was destroyed; during which time Nero is reputed to have fiddled instead of attempting to save the city. London experienced five great fires. In 798, most of the city was destroyed; in 982, it again was almost completely consumed. The years 1086 and 1212 are to be remembered, as then other great fires occurred. The "Great Fire of London," which started September 2, 1666, and continued four days, burnt over four hun- dred acres of buildings, entailing a property loss of more than fifty million dollars, is generally spoken of when the subject of fires and fire prevention are under discussion. During all these years the matter of fire prevention was carefully considered. In 1068, William I. (The Conqueror), introduced the curfew, when all fires and lights had to be extinguished as a means of safety. In 1189, Richard I. (Cour de Leon), had ladders kept near all the great houses of London, that the owners thereof could "succour their neighbors in case mis- adventure should occur from fire";1 and between the feast of Pentecost and the feast of St.
