    In the year 1932, on the 4th of July, Frida had a miscarriage at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Frida painted herself after the miscarriage, lying back on the bed in the hospital, which turned into this terrifying self-portrait. The woman in the portrait is naked, the sheets under her stained with her blood, and a huge tear drops from her left eye. The bed drifts in an intangible space, encircled by six different images, which act as metaphors relating to the miscarriage.

I was also able to see an I&D of the perineal and groin area. That had to be the most disgusting yet intriguing to me.…

    In the early 20th century the U.S. was facing a healthcare crisis. The country was ravaged by the great depression of the 1930’s, and broken by a six year world war. Most of the hospitals in the U.S. were crumbling and becoming obsolete, and large portions of the nation’s counties were without access to healthcare. During this time President Harry Truman wanted to go the way of other industrialized nations and offer universal health coverage for the American people. At the time it was deemed too costly, so legislators were looking for other options to improve our lagging system, and as the country started to heal, the deplorable conditions of our healthcare system and its lack of beds was becoming obvious and unavoidable.…

    In the Middle East, during the Middle Ages, Islamic hospitals had a greater variety of roles. Islam believes that everyone who was ill should receive treatment, whether they were able to pay for it or not. Their hospitals were large buildings in the cities, and were open to all, without question. An Islamic hospital served many purposes: it was a place to receive medical treatment, a place for the mentally insane, a place to receive care while recovering from a sickness or an accident, and a retirement home for those who had no family who could take care of their needs. Those with wealth and prestige would not go to the hospital but would be given medical care at home.…
