The Hope for the Hopeless
Light in illness Have you ever been so sick that you feel as if you are going to die? All you can do is lay in bed helplessly and wait for your body to heal itself due to our strong immune system. We get to skip school and go to our doctor 's office which is usually within an hour drive. We get diagnosed with a cold or the flu and get prescribed a medication and are on our way home within the next hour or so. We get to go home and fight off the illness. We eventually get to go back to school after a while and resume with our regular life. I feel as if sometimes we take that for granted because,for people like Salome Karwah things were very different.She lived in Geneva, Switzerland and her whole life changed when

They flip people 's lives from the worst of worst to a million times better. For Example, as in February they provided immediate help to a hospital in Syria that got hit by an air strike. They did many other first-responding projects such as closing a project in North Kivu Province, Democratic Republic of Congo , after armed actors attacked one of their convoys and abducted two of their staff members they got them back and closed the search project. MSF helps people all over the world and provides all medical and equality help. No matter who they are or where they come from Doctors Without Borders helps everyone because it is their belief that everyone should have access to health care. I feel that MSF is doing an amazing job to help our world and save lives. Doctors without Borders should be just that, they have no restrictions on who they will help or where they will go. Although, MSF takes a lot of money to provide the needed care given it is a worthy cause and deserves to further their organization until no one is left without the needed care they need. Just as Dr. Orbinski said “We are not sure that words can always save lives, but we know that silence can certainly kill." Without the care that is given by Doctors without Borders, people all around the world will die of illnesses that could have been easily

    During difficult, trying times some people feel helpless and give up way too easily. Others somehow find enough strength to find solutions to their problems. Whether giving up is done consciously or unconsciously, one thing for sure is that the outcomes are two immensely distinct scenarios. A door of hope is permanently shut when the will to try is lost. On the other hand, when we hold on a bit longer and have that small push—a voice that says, “keep going,” the possibilities are endless.…

    Cure Violence www.cureviolence.org Cure Violence is an organization founded by epidemiologist Gary Slutkin. Dr. Slutkin spent a decade in underdeveloped countries, fighting epidemic diseases. When he returned to the US, he’d all but forgotten what it was like to have running water, and adjustable temperature in the home. He also had no news of the US, so he found it both dismaying and compelling to hear about the rampant violence in some parts of the US, most especially in Chicago, Illinois. As a result, Dr. Slutkin began researching the violence problem in the same way that he tracked infectious diseases in those other countries, and he found that the trajectories were the same.…

    No one likes going to the doctor, no one likes being sick, no one likes the unknown. We all want answers when things go wrong, we all want to feel better. Today modern medicine allows for quick answers and a pill or treatment for almost anything. We have determined that viruses and bacteria are malignant cells that attack the healthy cells within our bodies and that sickness is the result of the immune system trying to defend the body from the malignant cells. What would it have been like to have suffered from an illness in ancient Rome or Greece?…

    The years of 1918 were lively. Theatres became popular hangouts, the economy was booming from war productions, factory jobs grew exponentially, and health and sanitation education started playing important roles in people’s lives for the first time in recent history. No one could have predicted what would follow, nor how serious it became or how the society of the decade would send the nation downhill. The Spanish Influenza broke out in the United States, causing the worst epidemic the country has ever known, even to this day. This disease was known to be so deadly for having “...killed more people in 24 hours than AIDS had in 24 years, and more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century” (Billings).…
