📌"This is not just a war crime. This is beyond the bounds of humanity", - the director of "Okhmatdyt" Volodymyr Zhovnir spoke at the UN Security Council

📌 "At the time of the attack, more than 600 patients and almost as many employees were in the hospital. Three complex operations were being performed. The children were on drips, on dialysis, in intensive care. What happened put their lives at risk."

📌"The Russian missile hit the intensive care and chronic intoxication department. Part of the building was completely destroyed. The ceilings collapsed. We heard people screaming, asking for help."

📌 "Patients will not receive proper care. Our specialized services with high-quality equipment will not be available in the near future. We will have serious long-term implications for the medical field in terms of treating children."

📌 "This is not just a war crime. It is beyond humanity. Our doctors tried to save the children's lives until the last moment under the attacks and after everything was destroyed, not even heeding the sirens."

I think I'd make such a good doctor back in the day when medicine was a lot more "just throw something at the wall and see if it works". Definitely not now, but for back then? Bet I could use a bonesaw so well.

Imagine Alucard sitting down with Trevor and Sypha and going over the standard medical practices of the medieval period and explaining which ones are actually helpful and which ones are complete bullshit.

Sypha:  Live worms tied around the neck for a sore throat?

Alucard:  No.

Trevor:  Diagnosis from urine?

Alucard:  Yes and no.  A urine sample will reveal certain illnesses given proper testing.  Otherwise, the color of urine is really only good for determining whether or not you’re drinking enough water.

Sypha:  Maggots.

Alucard:  Maggots will actually eat away rotting, infected flesh, but if we observe actual sanitation practices, we won’t get to that point.  Plus, sterile amputation procedures.

Trevor:  What actually causes plague?  Bad air, divine punishment, planetary misalignment?

Alucard:  None of the above.  It’s caused by bacteria.  I’ll explain later.

Sypha:  ...medicine administered via a clyster?

Alucard:  Oh, for the love of...

This is the Concòrdies, Europe's second oldest pharmacopoeia and the first of its kind. It was printed in 1511 in Barcelona, Catalonia. The first European pharmacopoeia was printed in Florence (modern-day Italy) in 1498 after a larger amount in Islamic countries, but both have some important differences.

A pharmacopoeia is a book that contains the recipes for making medicines, to be used as a reference guide by the apothecaries who made the remedies. The apothecaries were the chemists who made the drugs, specialists in medicinal herbs, minerals, animal products and food.

On August 29th 1510, the king Ferdinand of Catalonia-Aragon gave Barcelona's Apothecaries Association the royal privilege of standardizing the recipes used for making drugs. Before this, doctors diagnosed their patients and told them what drugs to buy, but each apothecary made it in their way, which could have different amounts of each ingredient or different preparations. This could lead to results that weren't as good as expected.

You might have noticed that the book is titled "Concordie apothecarioru[m] Barchin[one] i[n] medicinis co[m]positis liber feliciter incipit" (more or less "Agreement of Barcelona's apothecaries on the compound medicines" in Latin), often shortened to "les Concòrdies" ("the Agreements" in Catalan). It's an "agreement" because the apothecaries came together to write the most effective recipes, which they then presented to the Barcelona Medicine Doctors' Association. Then, the doctors could object or not, and from the agreement between both experts resulted this book.

This is the first pharmacopoeia that was made by the apothecaries' idea, not following orders of a government, and the first pharmacopoeia written for and by the apothecaries (the book written in Florence was made by doctors to tell apothecaries what they wanted them to make). Thanks to their apothecaries' work, Barcelona's inhabitants were the first people in the Iberian peninsula to access homologated medicine. Soon, this book's rules were expanded to all of Catalonia.

The only remaining original copy from the 1511 edition is kept in the Museum of Catalan Pharmacology which belongs to the University of Barcelona. The whole book has been digitalized and is completely uploaded online: here's the link.

Pursue MBBS in Germany for Indian Students.

The idea of studying MBBS in Germany is gaining popularity among Indian students, although the actual number of students who successfully undertake this path remains relatively low. The allure of studying MBBS in Germany lies in the perception of it being cost-free; however, in reality, it is not entirely free. The study of MBBS in Germany necessitates a high proficiency in the German language for academic purposes and patient interaction.

German medical education caters to international students through a diverse range of programs. Examples of this diversity include free MBBS study options in Germany and medical schools offering programs in English. Germany boasts a substantial list of medical colleges, with several universities providing postgraduate medical education in addition to MBBS. While the concept of free MBBS education in India remains a myth, the reality of cost-free medical education in Germany has been experienced.

Both medical colleges and schools in Germany for international students enjoy a stellar reputation globally, making Germany an excellent choice for Indian students pursuing MBBS in Europe. The dream of attaining free medical education in Germany at prestigious medical universities is now within reach for aspiring students.

Random thing that bugs me? When a setting supposedly taking place before the 1500s has sugar-glazed or chocolate chip cookies.

Let's... ignore the chocolate chips for the moment because that's a whole other mess but you have any idea how expensive cane sugar was? "But it could be beet sugar-" discovered in the mid 1700s and factory made in the 1800s for a cheaper alternative!

In short, I know it's not intentional or even implied but I can only imagine how rich af Rosas is if random teenagers who may not even work in the castle are allowed to gobble up a whole batch of lemon sugar cookies specifically said to be made for royalty. It's kind of like making edible gold leaf sundaes and then just shrugging your shoulders when your friends flock to the table.

...also the fact that they're apparently lemon cookies is weird since lemons were widely considered ornamental/medicinal plants until around 1500. At least what I could find of Middle Ages Europe specifically. And not like... ginger tea or something like to settle stomachs or cure headaches that but in the sense of inducing vomiting to purge toxins kind of medicinal plant.

I know this is applying Modern Era standards to Past Era settings but I'm completely blaming Disney wizards and magical beings like Merlin and Genie for anachronisms like this.

(I'm also working under the assumption that Wish is set in the 1400s since it's supposed to be before Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, but it could be older for all I know.)

I might not be physically strong and have wacky joints, but I am stubborn and I also have the self preservation skills of a particularly stupid donkey, and that's how I ended up cutting the knee length grass in my garden with this thing (and with the sheer power of determination)

It cuts in an approximate range of 15 cm, and it took me a bit more than an hour to go over the garden, and now i can't use my hand because my fingers refuse to bend without hurting like hell, but the grass is cut.

the fact that he knows everyone screams ‘ride it’ is insane to me

Today i woke up and thought "why the fuck isn't dental care part of medicine at large?" like, you don't go to the hospital for a toothache and the dentist has to use anesthetics?? That's medicine dude...

And teeth are one of the most important things for good health... What the fuck

Why do we have to pay so much for dental care like it's a fucking cosmetic procedure
