Inspiring Events, Advice, and Doctor Who

A few days ago, I performed first-aid on a casualty in public, with the help of several bystanders.

The outcome was good, but it lead me to think about the experience this event has given me.

In a way, I suppose you could say that it was inspiring, as it made me have an (almost) glimpse into the lives of these medical professionals.

What would I take from this? Experience, communication, and dedication.

Even Doctor Who seems oddly motivating...

This trial centred on the VSV-EBOV vaccine, which was started by the Public Health Agency of Canada and then developed by the pharmaceutical company Merck.

And even argue that:

There is caution as the results are still preliminary, with more data coming in.
But officials at the WHO believe the effectiveness of the vaccine will end up being between 75% and 100%.

Wednesday Words: Extra Stuff'

 I've been thinking...

(Yes, very dangerous; I agree)

I have thought of another way to appease you viewers. For Wednesday Words, I'm going to post the definition and not the word itself.

(More work for you!)

So, let's start today!

I'll use the term "[WORD]" to replace the text. This week's definition is from Wikipedia!

[WORD] from Greek meaning "itching condition" or "being itchy" is a common, chronic, relapsing/remitting, immune-mediated skin disease characterized by red, scaly patches, papules, and plaques, which usually itch. The skin lesions seen in [WORD] may vary in severity from minor localized patches to complete body coverage. The disease affects 2–4% of the general population
