Cancer Ward The Old Doctor

Cancer Ward: "Old Doctor" In this chapter, Ludmila visited Dr. Olesenkov, a former instructor. He lives in a wonderful house full of what is from the past and who he is. Rudmila knows that she is suffering from cancer. But in addition to her own instinct, she definitely did not want to go to Oreshchenkov, and even said that "this is not a big deal". When she was there she had a little sense of relaxation and restlessness. Later, they discussed the necessity of "family doctors".

Henrietta Lacks, only 31 years old, is the mother of five African-American children who died of cervical cancer in "Color Ward" at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore in 1951. Prior to her death, the doctor attempted to collect scientists trying to collect her tumor samples and keep them alive for decades. Not only did her cells survive, but when trillions of dollars were copied, they lacked history. "They became," Skloot wrote. "First immortal cells were planted in the laboratory" Lacks cells are called "HeLa" by doctors and scientists all over the world and for polio treatment, but the main innovation is essential. Cancer, cloning, gene mapping and in vitro fertilization, women themselves are almost forgotten by history. For a while after her death, her family did not even know that Henrietta Luck lived in much of HeLa's life.

Immediately after her youngest child was born in 1950, Henrietta found a lump in her body. A doctor in a free medical clinic of a colored person examined the lump and diagnosed as cervical cancer. The doctor conducted routine medical procedures to gather tissue samples of cancerous tumors. Back then, physicians often sent tissue samples to research organizations to study the cells to learn more about the disease. The rules for obtaining informed consent are far less strict than today. Despite postmortem autopsy with her husband's consent, Henrietta doctor did not get permission to tell her what she is doing or to get permission from the organization.

My family doctor talked to a 34 - year - old woman named Susan with breast cancer. When she asks about it, the doctor interprets it as "cancer that originates in the area where the pipe or milk passes until it reaches the breast tissue, usually the nipple, and in the leaflet or gland developing area that creates milk" (National .. np) The doctor also told Susan that the disease was observed in Egypt around 1600 BC (Wikipedia np). At that time, he publicly acknowledged that "breast tumors are technically resolved or treated by cauterization called fire drilling, but there is no cure" (Wikipedia np)
