Wardround 20ii9



Good efforts in your talks about thrombolysis. I would like you to make the talks more specific and precise. Tell us the actual evidence, precise numbers and sources. Don't waste time with introductions or telling us stuff we all know already. Make the two minutes count. Let's have the re-hashed talks on thrombolysis on Tuesday.

The assignment for Friday is to produce a diagnosis of the illness in Athens described by Thucydides in 431 B.C. in The History of the Peloponnesian War . If you click on the link it will take you to a copy of the piece. The web page begins with chapter VI, but you can skip down to chapter VII (unless you would like to read about the war). If you cannot find the right section, press ctrl-F and type in plague.

You need to have an opinion on the diagnosis and be prepared to argue your corner. Make sure you revise the signs and symptoms of the disease you choose. Your two minute tutorials could be on some aspect of your chosen disease.
