Throughout my clinical rotations, I have dedicated myself to giving best shot at all the specialities, and at the same time trying to figure out a speciality that would align flawlessly with my personal and future goals. While this task seemed straightforward and uncomplicated, it was challenging to find a specialty that combined cerebral requirements of internal medicine and procedural skills of surgery, until my Anesthesiology rotation. Major factors that drew me to the specialty were the challenge of managing critically ill patients, the clinical application of pharmacology and physiology and the hands on nature of the speciality. During my third year, I had glimpse of the profession while doing my core rotations. My first month into clinical rotations, I was on-call for my internal medicine rotation.…

Studies relating to the concept of blue eyes took place at the University of Copenhagen by a scientist named Hans Eiberg. He conducted a study and stated that "A genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a 'switch,' which literally 'turned off' the ability to produce brown eyes,” (Eiberg). The OCA2 gene works together with melanin — the “thing” that gives our hair, eyes, and skin colour. As we previously learned, blue-eyed people only have brown pigmentation in the inner layer of their eye and scattered wavelengths travel throughout the outer and middle layer. This is because the amount of melanin has been reduced in the two frontal layers, therefore creating a lighter iris colour.…

Syria’s neighboring countries and some European have been the more accessible asylums.…
