In 1930 he won the annual prize in neuroanatomy and was elected to Alpha Phi Omega, the school's honorary medical society. During this time, under the influence of Dr. John Beattie, a visiting professor from England, Drew began his research in blood transfusions. The four different types of blood had recently been discovered. Doctors knew what type of blood they were giving to patients and were avoiding the negative effects of mixing incompatible blood types. However, because whole blood was highly perishable, the problem of having the appropriate blood type readily available still existed.

However, Lee’s strong and inventive mind led him to venture into the study of Electronics where he would clearly make a name for himself. He Attended Mount Hermon School and in 1893 later enrolled into the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University in Connecticut. One of his early exploits came in the form of him tapping into the university’s electrical system which caused the entire campus to black out. This shortly led in a short suspension from the college however, he later earned his bachelors degree in 1896 while using the money he received from his early Mechanical invention’s to finance his education expenses. In 1899, he would later attain his
Reflection – Handover During my time on placement so far I have encountered the handover of patients between nurses coming on and off duty every single day. The purpose of this essay is to reflect on this event. The purpose of reflection is to promote desirable pactise though the practitioners understanding and learning about his/her lived experiences (John 1995). I have decided to use the first handover that I saw being given for this reflection. It was my first placement on a rehabilitation and palliative care ward.
I had to disregard a lot of information that was not entirely relevant to my research question. Also at times the content was vague, and the ideas did not always follow logically. I used Study Support to develop my writing skills, but wished I had approached them for help at an earlier stage, as this would have saved me a considerable amount of stress. To conclude, the dissertation assignment has improved my confidence in my ability, through producing a lengthy piece of work. I feel it has effectively concluded the academic phase, and I am excited and motivated by the prospect of getting a job in the fashion

That Yale treats artistic endeavors as seriously as, say, medicine, as Mr. Kirchwey suggested, is corroborated by Dr. Sherwin Nuland. Currently clinical professor of surgery at the Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Nuland graduated from the medical school in 1955. He is the author of several books, including ''How We Die,'' which earned him the National Book Award in 1994. Though he did not begin writing for a general audience until the 1980's, Dr. Nuland traces the origin of his success as a writer back to his years as a Yale student. What surprised him about the medical school was that the instructors were fascinated with subjects outside the world of medicine.
The Renaissance is famous for discoveries in science, geography and art. There were also breakthroughs in medicine but, by 1700, people were no healthier than in the Middle Ages. However it was still a very important period in medical history as it led to new and exciting discoveries about the human body that would help in the future. Some famous people from the Renaissance were; Leonardo da Vinci (taught young artists how to draw and drew very detailed sketches of the human body, however, he never published his work), Johannes Gutenburg (invented the printing press in the 1450’s), Andreas Vesalius (made new discoveries about the anatomy of the human body), William Harvey (discovered that blood circulates around the body) and Ambroise Pare (pioneered new surgical methods for treating gunshot wounds and stopping bleeding). The Renaissance is an important period because of discoveries about anatomy thanks to Andreas Vesalius.
Discarding knowledge basically means that knowledge might be replaced by another. It could happen if there exist a new knowledge in which there are less counters and reasoning are more acceptable. Also, it could happen if old knowledge was proved to be away from truth, though, it might be hard to determine whether the “truth” is a real truth. Historians might have different opinions on knowledge about the same event based on their different nationalities, religions and even gender. Using the Long March as an example, elder Chinese historians mostly agree that the Long March is a demonstration of the success of the Chinese Army.
