[shyasachurchmouse]

I um…suppose I’m in group 1…

purple-eggsnham, farming-violets, eyesofirispoetry, nurse-angela

Should um…we maybe start…planning?

[eyesofirispoetry-blog]

Yes! I’m Iris! I have a few ideas to start with, but I want to make sure everyone is comfortable with each other before we start. How well is everyone writing skills?

[purple-eggsnham-blog]

Oh, uh, hello! It’s nice to meet you, I’m Pierre. ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/ Er… I think my writing skills are okay? I mainly only write food reviews though… ( •́ ⍨ •̀)

[shyasachurchmouse]

I’m Dorothy! I um…I’m not sure how well I can um…write creatively. I only ever really write um…medical reports, which are pretty dry…

[nurse-angela]

Hello, I am Angela. I’m afraid I am in a similar situation as Miss Dorothy, Iris. Medical reports do not make for very creative or exciting writing.

She says she’s a princess. But princesses are kind hearted and good to everyone.

but she says that she thinks poor people are gross and wants to hurt them

so then if she’s not a kind princess, she’s the evil queen?

[nurse-angela]

I don’t think her claim is technically true, though she is fairly wealthy.

And I suppose by fairy tale logic that is true. Her actions do fit the “evil queen” more than they do the “kind princess”.

Approximately two cups is taken when someone donates blood. Nail polish bottles hold much less than that, it wouldn’t be a concerning amount to lose.

[sorellinalilli]

why does the princess want to paint her nails with blood?

Does that mean she’s an evil queen?

[nurse-angela]

I do not know why she wants to. It isn’t a very sanitary practice.

I a fairly certain she is not a queen...

[nurse-angela]

If that’s the case, be mindful not to paint your nails with it when you have a cut or wound near the nail-beds. There are many blood-borne diseases.

[shepherdingsisters-deactivated2]

you’re more concerned about that than how or where she gets it…?

A small reminder to those with seasonal allergies: Take medication prior to the start of symptoms on dry/windy days or when pollen count is high.

In 1975, Dr. Vera Peters stood fast in front of 400 medical professionals and painstakingly proved them wrong.

This talk, in which she argued that breast cancer should be treated with removing merely the cancerous area and treating with radiation (instead of the borderline mutilation that was the standard treatment of the day), was not received well. Despite the overwhelming amount of evidence Peters presented — she had meticulously conducted a study of over 8,000 cases by hand — her findings were largely dismissed, and advocates of her “lumpectomy” methodology labeled incompetent. Her daughter, Dr. Jenny Ingram, recalls of the event, “there was just a dead silence at the end of this. I don’t think anyone could believe it, they were just shocked (by the data).”

History, of course, has borne out that she was correct, and her techniques are now the basis of modern-day breast cancer treatments.

This event was the second act to an already-remarkable life. In earlier years, her work on Hodgkin’s disease had brought it down from a death sentence to a treatable disease. Unfortunately, according to her contemporary Dr. Charles Hayter, the international medical community did not appreciate her spot in the limelight, and more or less shunned her, saying “go back to Toronto and do your women’s work.”

So she did. And improved the lot of a great many breast cancer survivors in the process.

She was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada in 1975, raised to Officer in 1977, and was posthumously inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame in 2010. In January of 2015, the aforementioned Dr. Hayter wrote and put on a play about her, entitled Radical, in Toronto. It opened to good reviews.
