The hearing aid was retubed and this again resolved the issue. Nine months later the tubing and moulds had degraded, new impressions were taken and the replacement moulds fitted with new tubing. Less than three months later Clem found the tubing was leaving red marks on the back of both his ears which were painful. The hearing aids…

third of the tongue, the lingual tonsils, palatine tonsils and the superior constrictor muscle. It is lined by non-keratinized squamous stratified epithelium (Teach me Anatomy, 2017). The oropharynx functions as an airway and as part of the alimentary canal.

Because both food and air passes through the pharynx, the epiglottis prevents aspiration when food is swallowed…

The artist I have chosen for this assignment is Vincent Van Gogh. Vincent Van Gogh has been nothing less than ordinary with his life. For example, everyone knows of the artist who cut off his ear and sent it to a prostitute. Also, Van Gogh’s physical and mental state was potentially caused by sipping on turpentine and eating paint. Although, Van Gogh passed away on July 29th,1890 from shooting himself in the chest and dying in his brother Theos…

Guilty as Charged I met Deluca in a once quiet prison, which was now scurrying in a manic manner as the correctional officers and the Governor tried to assess the prison’s most recent situation. Behind a strengthened distressed steel door was an abundance of handpicked inmates all awaiting their fate. A select few of the inmates did not seem amused by the situation, and some could care less. More than half of the prisoners were clenching the posts of the door in a rage, screaming at the top of…

During this time the Union and the Confederacy, also known as the Northern and Southern states, respectively, fought against each other for what they believed to be their constitutional rights. The Union was led by Abraham Lincoln, the President during this time, while the Confederacy was led by Jefferson Davis.

Bang! The crack of the starting gun made my ears pop, and we were off. Hundreds of feet trampled across a grass field. Two hundred meters in and I was already at the end of the pack.
