used this super cool thing called a cellscope yesterday which is an iPhone version of an otoscope (little attachment that goes over the camera/flash + accompanying app). i was in the ED and they didn't have otoscopes/ophthalmoscopes on the wall so i guess that’s why they had em.

for ONCE i was able to see the TMs clearly...even the malleus and everything!! so much easier to maneuver when you don't have to crouch to look through the little window. the app lets you take photos and vids too...i was so impressed! haha

i want one for my birthday 😋

It shows the mythological lovers at a moment of great emotion, characteristic of the emerging movement of Romanticism.

Italian Doctors Fooled Nazis by Inventing This Fake Disease

In 1943, a team of ingenious Italian doctors invented a deadly, contagious virus called Syndrome K to protect Jews from annihilation. On October 16 of that year, as Nazis closed in to liquidate Rome’s Jewish ghetto, many runaways hid in the 450-year-old Fatebenefratelli Hospital. There, anti-Fascist doctors including Adriano Ossicini, Vittorio Sacerdoti and Giovanni Borromeo created a gruesome, imaginary disease.

“Syndrome K was put on patient papers to indicate that the sick person wasn’t sick at all, but Jewish” and in need of protection, Ossicini told Italian newspaper La Stampa last year. The “K” stood for Albert Kesselring and Herbert Kappler — two ruthless Nazi commanders.

The doctors instructed “patients” to cough very loudly and told Nazis that the disease was extremely dangerous, disfiguring and molto contagioso. Soldiers were so alarmed by the list of symptoms and incessant coughing that they left without inspecting the patients. It’s estimated that a few dozen lives were saved by this brilliant scheme.

The doctors were later honored for their heroic actions, and Fatebenefratelli Hospital was declared a “House of Life” by the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation.
