Today it was time for me to hold a workshop with everyone.
Today's visit started with all of us students going down to the canal that runs parallel to Naluwan to collect shells.
I arrived earlier than the other students and had some time to interact with Ivan and his family before the others arrived.
Also this week we spent time with the elderly in the community. Me and Charles had a conversation with a man in a wheelchair that Charles also talked to last time.
"If we weigh “evidence” by the pound or the page, we risk moving toward a monoculture of C.B.T"
"Stories capture small pictures, too. I’m thinking of the anxious older man given Zoloft. That narrative has power"
"For a variety of reasons, including a heightened awareness of medical error and a focus on cost cutting, we have entered an era in which a narrow, demanding version of evidencebased medicine prevails"
The article diuscusses the sociopolitical factors effecting populations who were exposed during the chernobyl disaster. It looks at effected population's access to healthcare, and government interventions effecting the post disaster recovery, resettlement, and healthcare. The article establises that there is an entire society built up in the chernobyl effected community which people are entirely dependant on health care systems and the politics governing them take the prescident over many other issues.
