Shadowed Dr. Bohman, as we met with patients in the pre-op waiting rooms and went over their medical history and any other question or concerns they may have had. Dr. Bohman anesthetized patients mostly under the care of orthopedic surgeons on the days I shadowed him. Although this shadowing experience was for anesthesia, I felt it gave me some insight into other fields such as orthopedics, and both general and plastic surgery.…
In the early year of 1942, the families of Japanese people are being ordered to start a move to Manzanar, California; the Wakatsuki family is one of them. Many Japanese accept the move because they are afraid of Caucasian aggression, but some simply see it as an adventure. Families have to put on identification number tags on their collars. Riding on buses to Manzanar, Jeanne falls asleep on the bus, nearly half of which is filled with her relatives, and wakes up to the “setting sun and the yellow, billowing dust of Owens Valley.”(pg 19) As they enter the camp, the new arrivals stare silently at the families already waiting in the wind and sand.…

“Wilkomirski has conducted virtually no serious research into his past in Switzerland--- which is indeed amazing in light of his claim of an exchange of children on Swiss soil” (*author’s last name267). Everyone has a rough sense of what happened during the Holocaust. From a normal reader’s perspective, the most interesting parts of the book are the details of life and mental activity of the survivor during the Holocaust period. However, Wilkomirski didn't give us reliable facts, and he does not even have basic research, which hurts the reader’s feelings significantly and lowers the value of the…

Without survivors like Alicia Appleman-Jurman, we would not have the first hand awareness of the Holocaust they have today.…

Some of the senators claim they can be used for self-defense. But the truth is that Concealed handguns are not an effective form of self-defense. A Nov. 2009 peer-reviewed study published in the American Journal of Public Health by Charles Branas, PhD, found that someone carrying a gun for self-defense was 4.5 times more likely to be shot during an assault than an assault victim without a gun. Attackers often surprise victims, making it difficult to use a concealed handgun. Easy weapons to control like mace and tazers would be discharched quicker both because of their simplicity and also because they are less harmful to the assailant. The victim is slower to discharge a weapon that they know will be more harmfull, giving the assailant more time to shot their victim.…
