Good morning/afternoon. Between 460-370BC roughly lived a man by the name of Hippocrates. He learned medicine from his father and grandfather, and then continued on to make his own theories about the medicines and diseases of the time.

Lily and I do almost everything together, and we have…

The smell of rubbing alcohol makes me feel at home, as does the white floors that squeaked when I press my shoes hard enough. Although this place was filled with sickness and sadness, it was even more filled with happiness and positive energy. I loved this place. I loved the nurses, the doctors, and the patients more than anything. I would learn more about the lives of each individual every time I visited, and hear the amazing stories the families had to share. I loved how the patients, my…

Animal testing is the experimentation on non-human animals. Its purpose is to control the variables that affect the behavior or biological system that is being studied.
