Title:Practising Medicine

In their clinical training the students all see and do the same things – just at different times and in different places.

We dip in and out of the various students’ experiences and use them as pictures to allow them all to comment. It’s hard to get across the humour, pathos and drama of it all in an outline like this, but it’s all there. It’s also hard to mention all of the students, but they all have their moments.

Title: Hero with a Thousand Faces.

The recent outbreak of Ebola in West Africa was one of the most deadly health epidemics in recent history. Sierra Leone was the hardest hit by the virus. However, the story of Ebola isn’t just one of mass death; it’s a story of the first responders rushing in to face insurmountable odds, of brothers in arms refusing to quit when all seemed lost. While the 24-hour news stoked fears of the Ebola virus, these true-life heroes sprinted into this war with fearless abandon. While we closed our hearts and doors to those in need, thousands of West African men, women and children rose up to engage this enemy.
