Hippocrates


Hippocrates

  Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.), the most famous of the Greek physicians of his time, is regarded as the father of medicine because of the sound principles of medical practice that his school established. His name is memorialized in the Hippocratic Oath, which many graduating medical students repeat as a promise of professional stewardship and duty to humankind.

        Hippocrates probably had only limited exposure to human dissections, but he was disciplined in the popular humoral theory of body organization. Four humors were recognized, and each was associated with a particular body organ: blood with the liver; choler, or yellow bile, with the gallbladder; phlegm with the lungs; and melancholy, or black bile, with the spleen. A healthy persona was thought to have a balance of the four humors. The concept of humors has long since been discarded, but it dominated medical thought for over 2,000 years.
     
        Perhaps the greatest contribution of Hippocrates was that he attributed diseases to natural causes rather than to the displeasure of the gods. His application of logic and reasons to medicine was the beginning of observational medicine.

      The four humors are a part of our language and a medical practice even today. Melancholy is a term used to describe depression or despondency in a person, whereas melanous refers to a black or sallow complexion. The prefic melano- means black.

      Cholera is an infectious intestinal disease that causes diarrhea and vomiting. Phlegm within the upper respiratory system is symptomatic of several pulmonary disorders. Sanguine, a term originally referred to blood, is used to describe a passionate temperament. This term, however, has evolved to refer simple to the cheerfulness and optimism that accompanied a sanguine personality, and no longer refers directly to the humoral theory.

cholera: Gk. chole, bile
phlegm: Gk. phlegm, inflammation
melancholy: Gk. melan, black; chole, bile 
sanguine: L. sanguis, bloody

Fears of Nursing Graduate Exodus


There is concern the Tasmanian Government's offer of graduate nurse jobs will not replace positions lost in budget cuts.
The State Government has promised 115 jobs to graduate nurses in 2013, up 17 per cent on this year's intake.
But the Australian Nursing Federation's Agnes Stanislaus-Large says it still falls short of what is needed.
"[We need] at least something like 150 because there's about 300 that graduate," she said.
The Liberal's Jeremy Rockcliff says Health Minister Michelle O'Byrne's announcement is not good enough.
"The Minister has already sacked 300 nurses over the last 12 months in Tasmania," he said.
He says the state will lose much-needed nurses.
"It's tragic for those people that have studied hard, of course want to stay in Tasmania and work and indeed for Tasmanian patients who are now languishing on waiting lists day by day."
Ms O'Byrne says the Government is returning graduate nurse numbers to a sustainable level and will continue to offer as many positions as possible.
She says there are other job opportunities for nursing graduates, including in the private sector and aged care homes.

DBP scholars register 100% passing rate in nursing exam


QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES-- State-owned Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) has announced that 109 nursing graduates of its DBP Endowment for Education Program (DEEP) passed the nursing board licensure examination given last June, with four of its graduates making it to the top ten.

DBP president & chief executive officer Francisco F. Del Rosario, Jr. in a statement said the top placers include: Joey Dela Torre, Jr. of Cebu Normal University (4th placer, with a score of 85); Mar John Jambora of Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan (5th placer, with scoe of 84.8); Gina Baylosis of Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan (8th placer, with a score of 84.2); and Alexis Aguinaldo of Saint Louis University (10th placer, with a score of 83.8).

DEEP is a corporate social responsibility project of the bank that provides scholarships to bright and promising youth (including persons with disabilities) from low-income families who wish to pursue a degree or non-degree course in the fields of maritime education, agriculture, technical/ vocational courses, entrepreneurship, forestry, education, and hotel and restaurant management. DEEP’s scholarship assistance covers the whole range of a scholar’s requirements, including cost of living and allowances.

Dela Torre is the son of a factory worker in Zamboanga City. The second in a brood of four, he admits that poverty made it difficult for his parents to support their education. One of his siblings had stopped going to school while his eldest sister has yet to take up her board examinations due to financial constraints.

“Siguro kung hindi ako naging DBP scholar malamang hindi rin ako nakapagtapos,” Dela Torre shared. He also said that with DBP’s support, he was able to focus on his studies and the preparation for the nursing board exams.

Three DBP nursing partner-schools -- Cebu Normal University, West Visayas State University and Saint Louis University -- also made it to the top ten performing schools with passing rates of 100%, 99.36%, and 98.94, respectively.

The nursing graduates form the first batch of DBP scholars who were enrolled in seven partner-schools in 2008. From an initial number of 120 scholars, the batch was trimmed down to 113 who have all graduated this year. DBP is also assisting these nursing graduates in finding employment opportunities.

In 2009, DEEP shifted its focus towards supporting students in the maritime field, as well as in short-term technical courses, in response to the increase in demand for seafarers and technically-skilled workers. It also established tie-ups with reputable employers and manning companies to guarantee employment of its scholars or graduates. Now on its fifth year, DBP is supporting 1,351 scholars across all levels.

Del Rosario said DBP has organized the DEEP Scholars’ Association, Inc. (DEEPSA) to ensure the sustainability of the program. DEEPSA will accept voluntary contributions from DEEP graduates to build up funds and continue the program after DBP exits from DEEP in 2017. (DBP)
