Reads: Figure 1. Visual acuity chart showing the blurring and color effects of a disabling brunescent cataract with a visual acuity of 20/200.
Reads: Figure 2. Degas’ paintings of nude bathers, showing the change in style (less refinement) over the years from approximately 1885 to 1910. A, Woman Combing Her Hair (1886; pastel, 5552 cm); Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, Russia/Bridgeman Art Library. B, After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself (1889-1900; pastel, 6859 cm); Samuel Courtauld Trust, Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery, London, England/Bridgeman Art Library. C, Woman Drying Her Hair (1905; pastel on paper, 71.462.9 cm); Norton Simon Art Foundation, Pasadena. The same paintings were then blurred to the level of Degas’ eyesight at the time of the painting. D, Woman Combing Her Hair blurred to a visual acuity of 20/50. E, After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself blurred to a visual acuity of 20/100. F, Woman Drying Her Hair blurred to a visual acuity of 20/300. Note that the shading appears more graded and natural in the blurred images than in the original works.
Reads: Figure 3. Monet’s lily pond and the Japanese bridge at Giverny, France. A, Photograph of the bridge as it appears today (courtesy of photographer Elizabeth Murray). B, Monet’s Water Lily Pond, a painting of the pond and bridge before any visual symptoms (1899; oil on canvas, 8992 cm); National Gallery, London, England/Bridgeman Art Library. C, The same photograph of the bridge, blurred as it might appear through a moderate nuclear sclerotic cataract. D, The same photograph of the bridge as seen through a disabling cataract with a visual acuity of 20/200.
Reads: Figure 4. Water lily pond. A, Monet’s painting Waterlilies done with moderate cataract (1915; oil on canvas, 130153 cm); Muse´e Marmottan, Paris, France/Bridgeman Art Library. B, The same image blurred as it would have appeared to Monet through the cataract. C, Monet’s painting Morning With Weeping Willows, detail of left section, done after the cataract was removed (1915-1926; oil on canvas, 200425 cm); Muse´e de l’Orangerie, Paris/Giraudon/Bridgeman Art Library.
Reads: Figure 5. Monet paintings of the pond and Japanese bridge done about the time of his most severe visual disability. A, The Japanese Bridge at Giverny (1918-1924; oil on canvas, 89100 cm); Muse´e Marmottan, Paris, France/Giraudon/Bridgeman Art Library. This version was done with a predominance of orange. B, The image as it would have appeared to Monet through a disabling nuclear sclerotic cataract with a visual acuity of 20/200. C, The Japanese Bridge at Giverny (1918-1924; oil on canvas, 89100 cm); Muse´e Marmottan, Paris/Giraudon/Bridgeman Art Library. This version was done with a predominance of blue. D, The image as it would be seen through a disabling cataract with a visual acuity of 20/200. Note the surprising color constancy of B and D despite the marked differences between A and C.
I remember this paper! I wrote an essay on a broader version of this topic for my ophthalmology unit. It’s truly interesting to explore how artists’ health may have affected their work through the years.

Oh i love this concept!
I love it too! I love it mostly because it makes me feel less overwhelmed. When you break it down like this, everything seems so much more manageable. Like, hey, I could memorize 20 words at a time (even if ‘at a time’ varies wildly for me), and just do that like ten times. That’s a HUGE chunk of a language.
(And since I have the habit of doing languages that are similar to ones I’m already familiar with, the grammar part usually comes pretty easy, too.)
Gideon Mendel’s The Ward
Memories from the heart of the Aids crisis shows true love in a time of terrible tragedy.
These heartbreaking and incredibly moving images show the affection and love shown during the height of the Aids crisis. Photographer Gideon Mendel’s project The Ward began in 1993 when he spent a number of weeks on the Charles Bell wards in London’s Middlesex Hospital. All the patients on the ward were dying with the knowledge that there was no cure for the disease. During this time antiretroviral medications were not available and patients on the ward faced the prospect of an early death.
Like this is legitimately it.
I remember someone posted an article once about how during victorian times i think the tuberculosis “look” became the new beauty ideal for women, like unhealthily skinny, pale skin, glowing (with sweat due to fever), rosy cheeks, etc and i for real think about that almost every day because its like. We never had a chance lmao

The deadly disease—and later efforts to control it—influenced trends for decades
DUDE I DID A WHOLE PAPER ON THIS. It was a huge Romantic fad for both men and women. It was considered specifically the poet’s disease (the umbrella “artist’s disease” was syphilis, so many composers had it holy shit, it was probs why Beethoven went deaf) and women and poets were seen as especially susceptible because of their sensitivity specifically, not necessarily miasma. It got to the point of popularity where a good poet and handsome man were both consumptive that none other than Lord Byron once wrote to a friend that he wished he had it cause then he would get all the ladies. Alexandre Dumas wrote about the same thing when he was remembering his youth in Paris. This wasn’t just England, it was all over Western Europe. (Also fun to look at: the treatments and prescriptions given by doctors to cure tb, I ended up banging my head against the wall when I was researching it)
“قالوا: تموت بها حبـاًً؟ قلـت: ألا آذكروها علـى قبـري لتحيينـي They asked “do you love her to death?” I said “speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life”

Excerpt from Kató Lomb’s “Polyglot: How I Learn Languages”
!!!!!!!!!!
We should learn languages because languages is the only thing worth knowing even poorly.
If someone knows how to play the violin only a little, he will find that the painful minutes he causes are not in proportion to the possible joy he gains from his playing. The amateur chemist spares himself ridicule only as long as he doesn’t aspire for professional laurels. The man somewhat skilled in medicine will not go far, and if he tries to trade on his knowledge without certification, he will be locked up as a quack doctor.
Solely in the world of languages is the amateur of value. Well-intentioned sentences full of mistakes can still build bridges between people. Asking in broken Italian which train we are supposed to board at the Venice railway station is far from useless. Indeed, it is better to do that than to remain uncertain and silent and end up back in Budapest rather than in Milan.
50 Things to ask on Residency Interviews
HARK. Interview season is upon us!
And my old littles gave me the great idea to come up with a big ol’ list of questions the interviewing 4th year can use to find the answers they need about certain program OR give ideas that a 4th year may not have thought of at all.
I hope this helps anyone who has been dreading the “any questions for us?” moment. It’s not everything you can ask, it may not even highlight your program priorities, but hopefully you can get something out of it!
Is there any standard curriculum which the residents follow?
When do residents have to take step 3 by?
Is there any expectation to take step 3 before residency starts?
How are morning reports/grand rounds/resident lectures held?
Does the program support simulators and simulated learning?
Does the program have a sim center?
Is the in-training exam used by the program in any way?
When do the residents take the in-training exam at this program?
What is the percentage of specialty board pass rates?
What is the fellowship match rate/job placement rate?
What are you expected responsibilities on the floor?
What kind of call do you do as an intern vs as a senior?

How are mentors approached?

What are some hallmarks that make this program different from others?
How does this program participate in resident wellness?
Are their any resources if a resident feels they need help?
Is there support when there is a loss during patient care?
Does the hospital have any associated medical schools?
What are the 3rd and 4th year med student expectations?
What are the resident expectations to the medical students?
How many fourth years are around during audition season?
How is the schedule organized (how many floor, clinic, etc months)?
Are schedules flexible in any way?
If someone needs to miss a day or call, how is that rectified?
How are vacation requested, decided and divided?
Is there a holiday schedule?
How does the program approach QI projects?
What are some standout QI projects from the residents?
What are the research expectations for each year?
What resources does the program provide for research?
Are the residents provided food and drink (stipend/resident lounge supply)?
Are the residents provided scrubs?
Do you get white coat replacements or fleeces/jackets?
What is the expected attire on the floor, clinic, etc?
What is the parking situation?
Are there any stipends for moving, study material, exams or conferences?
What is the average cost of living in that area?
Where do most of the residents live?
Do you need to be in close proximity to the hospital?
How do you think a program of this size facilitates the learning environment?
Do the residents hang out together?
I didn’t describe why someone would ask these so if you’re interested, don’t know what something means, or want elaboration feel free to send an ask.
Go forth! Be strong and confident!
Good luck!
