Hippocrates

Hippocrates

  Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.), the most famous of the Greek physicians of his time, is regarded as the father of medicine because of the sound principles of medical practice that his school established. His name is memorialized in the Hippocratic Oath, which many graduating medical students repeat as a promise of professional stewardship and duty to humankind.

        Hippocrates probably had only limited exposure to human dissections, but he was disciplined in the popular humoral theory of body organization. Four humors were recognized, and each was associated with a particular body organ: blood with the liver; choler, or yellow bile, with the gallbladder; phlegm with the lungs; and melancholy, or black bile, with the spleen. A healthy persona was thought to have a balance of the four humors. The concept of humors has long since been discarded, but it dominated medical thought for over 2,000 years.
     
        Perhaps the greatest contribution of Hippocrates was that he attributed diseases to natural causes rather than to the displeasure of the gods. His application of logic and reasons to medicine was the beginning of observational medicine.

      The four humors are a part of our language and a medical practice even today. Melancholy is a term used to describe depression or despondency in a person, whereas melanous refers to a black or sallow complexion. The prefic melano- means black.

      Cholera is an infectious intestinal disease that causes diarrhea and vomiting. Phlegm within the upper respiratory system is symptomatic of several pulmonary disorders. Sanguine, a term originally referred to blood, is used to describe a passionate temperament. This term, however, has evolved to refer simple to the cheerfulness and optimism that accompanied a sanguine personality, and no longer refers directly to the humoral theory.

cholera: Gk. chole, bile
phlegm: Gk. phlegm, inflammation
melancholy: Gk. melan, black; chole, bile 
sanguine: L. sanguis, bloody

Fears of Nursing Graduate Exodus

FEAROF NURSING GRADUATE EXODUS

There is concern the Tasmanian Government's offer of graduate nurse jobs will not replace positions lost in budget cuts.

The State Government has promised 115 jobs to graduate nurses in 2013, up 17 per cent on this year's intake.

But the Australian Nursing Federation's Agnes Stanislaus-Large says it still falls short of what is needed.

"[We need] at least something like 150 because there's about 300 that graduate," she said.

The Liberal's Jeremy Rockcliff says Health Minister Michelle O'Byrne's announcement is not good enough.

"The Minister has already sacked 300 nurses over the last 12 months in Tasmania," he said.

He says the state will lose much-needed nurses.

"It's tragic for those people that have studied hard, of course want to stay in Tasmania and work and indeed for Tasmanian patients who are now languishing on waiting lists day by day."

Ms O'Byrne says the Government is returning graduate nurse numbers to a sustainable level and will continue to offer as many positions as possible.

She says there are other job opportunities for nursing graduates, including in the private sector and aged care homes.

DBP scholars register 100% passing rate in nursing exam

QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES-- State-owned Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) has announced that 109 nursing graduates of its DBP Endowment for Education Program (DEEP) passed the nursing board licensure examination given last June, with four of its graduates making it to the top ten.

DBP president & chief executive officer Francisco F. Del Rosario, Jr. in a statement said the top placers include: Joey Dela Torre, Jr. of Cebu Normal University (4th placer, with a score of 85); Mar John Jambora of Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan (5th placer, with scoe of 84.8); Gina Baylosis of Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan (8th placer, with a score of 84.2); and Alexis Aguinaldo of Saint Louis University (10th placer, with a score of 83.8).

DEEP is a corporate social responsibility project of the bank that provides scholarships to bright and promising youth (including persons with disabilities) from low-income families who wish to pursue a degree or non-degree course in the fields of maritime education, agriculture, technical/ vocational courses, entrepreneurship, forestry, education, and hotel and restaurant management. DEEP’s scholarship assistance covers the whole range of a scholar’s requirements, including cost of living and allowances.

Dela Torre is the son of a factory worker in Zamboanga City. The second in a brood of four, he admits that poverty made it difficult for his parents to support their education. One of his siblings had stopped going to school while his eldest sister has yet to take up her board examinations due to financial constraints.

“Siguro kung hindi ako naging DBP scholar malamang hindi rin ako nakapagtapos,” Dela Torre shared. He also said that with DBP’s support, he was able to focus on his studies and the preparation for the nursing board exams.

Three DBP nursing partner-schools -- Cebu Normal University, West Visayas State University and Saint Louis University -- also made it to the top ten performing schools with passing rates of 100%, 99.36%, and 98.94, respectively.

The nursing graduates form the first batch of DBP scholars who were enrolled in seven partner-schools in 2008. From an initial number of 120 scholars, the batch was trimmed down to 113 who have all graduated this year. DBP is also assisting these nursing graduates in finding employment opportunities.

In 2009, DEEP shifted its focus towards supporting students in the maritime field, as well as in short-term technical courses, in response to the increase in demand for seafarers and technically-skilled workers. It also established tie-ups with reputable employers and manning companies to guarantee employment of its scholars or graduates. Now on its fifth year, DBP is supporting 1,351 scholars across all levels.

Del Rosario said DBP has organized the DEEP Scholars’ Association, Inc. (DEEPSA) to ensure the sustainability of the program. DEEPSA will accept voluntary contributions from DEEP graduates to build up funds and continue the program after DBP exits from DEEP in 2017. (DBP)

Nursing topnotcher got the news in the US; raring to return to PH

Source: inquirer.net

While most nursing graduates aspire to pass the professional exam, gain a little job experience and then leave to work abroad, this year’s topnotcher of the nursing boards is already in the United States, raring to gain experience and more education before returning to serve in the Philippines.

“I will definitely go back to the Philippines. I owe my country a lot and I’m really sad that I can’t serve there at the moment,” said Roxanne Trinity Dotingco Lim, who is now with her family in Auburn, California, in an online interview with the Inquirer.

“I will go back when I am an expert in my field. That way I know I can serve better,” she added.

Lim, who graduated in 2012 from the University of Santo Tomas, came out on top of more than 27,000 who passed the nursing licensure exam given in June—out of 60,895 who took the test—with a score of 86.20 percent.

As a student, she said she always strove to be the best but struggled to find her niche. Acing the board exam was affirmation that she was in the right profession, she said.

Lim said she was reluctant to take up nursing at first because she was aware of the many jobless nurses in the country. But her parents’ appreciation for the profession won her over.

“They see nursing as a very special course. It’s a profession that can be a means to serve the Lord,” she said.

Her father still runs a pharmacy in their hometown in Eastern Samar, while her mother, who used to be a medical technologist, is now a nurse in the US.

Lim, 20, was born in Taft, a fifth-class municipality in Eastern Samar named after US President Howard Taft. She studied at Taft Central Elementary School then at Philippine Science High School-Eastern Visayas campus, where she lived away from home because of its distance from the school.

“For the sake of receiving quality education, I endured my longing for my family,” she said.

She was on her third year in college in Manila when her parents and three younger brothers moved to Auburn for the same reason that many Filipinos leave the country. “My parents wanted to give us a better future, they wanted to search for new opportunities and try out a new life here,” she said.

Lim followed them shortly after taking the nursing exams administered by the Board of Nursing of the Professional Regulation Commission.

“I want to spend as much time with my family as possible and make up for lost time. I have decided to work here as a nurse for a few years,” she said.

When the test results came out on Aug. 23, Lim’s boyfriend texted her his congratulations on topping the exam. She said she couldn’t believe it and, although bursting with excitement, she waited patiently while checking the PRC website before barging into her parents’ room with the good news.

“I was so happy that I accidentally got hit by something while jumping for joy. I didn’t notice it until I saw the blood on my leg,” she said.

Burying her nose in nursing books instead of curling up with a favorite novel or going out with her cousins and friends paid off. But she did take some time off from studying once in a while.

Studied hard, prayed harder

“Our bodies are not programmed to work every day of the week. It is also good to stop, let ourselves relax and enjoy what life has to offer,” she said. “I studied hard but I prayed harder. I prayed with all my heart and I can say that it was my greatest weapon.”

Lim said she planned to pursue a master’s degree and was waiting for the result of her application to the National Council Licensure Examination, a licensing test for nurses in the US.

“I was so engrossed with aiming to be at the top that I think I may have pushed myself too hard and forgot what really mattered in life. Looking back, I think my reason is that I don’t really know what I’m good at. I don’t have any talent or special ability,” she said.

“But through nursing, I now know what I love to do. I love serving others.

It's official! Men tell more lies than women - Hindustan Times

It's official! Men tell more lies than women - Hindustan Times

The average man tells 3 lies a day - or a whopping 1,092 a year, whereas women in comparison fib just twice a day or 728 times a year, the Daily Express reported.

But a role reversal happens when it comes to hiding new clothes from a partner, in that situation, 39 percent of women feel the need to lie about their latest wardrobe additions, compared to just 26 percent of men.

Women are also most likely to pretend to be busy to avoid a phone call, 50 per cent admit to this opposed to just over a 33.33 percent of men, the research by BMW Financial Services revealed.

But although lying causes a moral dilemma, Karen Pine, Professor of Developmental Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, says it is an essential trait in mankind.

"We think lying is bad, but actually the ability to deceive others has helped humans survive as a species. Our primitive ancestors had to compete for resources and would have needed to be deceitful to outwit their enemies," she said.

"Everybody lies, but we have to know when it`s OK to do it and when not. It might be OK to say you like your friend`s new hairdo when you don`t really, because the fib could be good for the friendship. But telling lies to escape from life`s difficulties can cause harm and will have long-term consequences. In some people it could even lead to compulsive behaviour, as one untruth has to be kept going with more lies.

"Who lies? Everyone does it but some people are naturally better at lying than others. Socially skilled people make better liars. Extroverts also tend to lie more often than more introverted people," she added.
