Medical Students from the Carver College of Medicine lead five different STEM activities for the kids and their families to engage in.
I'm a medical student, so of course the only oranges I buy are blood oranges. For educational purposes.
I was doing a rotation in the Rheumatism department a year or two ago, sitting in with a doctor. The patient said in passing that she drank "blood juice" to keep her iron levels up. My eyes widened, but I since I have an amazing bedside manner, I waited until the visit was over and she left before turning in horror to the doctor. "Blood juice?!?! Is that a thing?! I thought it was bad enough with blood sausage!!" But it turns out it's a German drink made of vegetables. Phew.

SGU's chapter of American Medical Student Association (AMSA) hosts their first health fair of the Spring 2013 semester in Grand Anse, Grenada.
Area vets, medical students and residents in the upscale Streeterville neighborhood faught and lost the battle to prevent the demolition of the Lakeside Veterans Hospital.
The building won a prestegious architecture award in 1955. Not counting inpatient stays, Lakeside VA served about 160,000 veterans annually. The CARES shutdown program of the Bush-Cheney White House underfunded medical services here in order to hasten its closing.
Christoph-Probst square, Cadastral Community Innsbruck (city center)
The square is located on the Innrain, in front of the building of the "new university" (main building of the University of Innsbruck). It was named on March 16, 1994.
Christoph Probst (1919-1943) was a medical student in Innsbruck and a resistance fighter against the Nazi regime (member of the White Rose).
Christoph Hermann Ananda Probst (born November 6, 1919 in Murnau am Staffelsee, † February 22, 1943 in Munich-Stadelheim) was a member of the resistance group White Rose against the National Socialism.
Life
Christoph "Christl" Probst was the son of a relatively wealthy family. Through his father, the doctor of chemistry Hermann Probst (1886-1936), he got to know and appreciate cultural and religious freedom. Hermann Probst was a private scholar and Sanskrit researcher, dealt with Indian philosophy and maintained contacts with artists who were considered "degenerate" in National Socialism. After the divorce from his first wife, Christoph Probst's mother Katharina, born von der Bank, he married the Jewess Elise Jaffée, born Rosenthal, the aunt of the historian Joseph Rovan. Christoph's sister Angelika Probst remembers that her brother had already criticized the inhumane ideas of National Socialism from an early age.
Probst attended from 1930 to 1932 the New Gymnasium in Nuremberg (his mother had moved temporarily to Middle Franconia because of her second marriage) and since 1932, the boarding school Marquartstein, which, like the country boarding school Schondorf, kept aloof from the ideas of National Socialism. He attended in 1935, together with Alexander Schmorell, the New Real Gymnasium in Munich. After the suicide of his father in May 1936, Probst moved to the Landheim Schondorf, where he became friends with the teacher Bernhard Knoop, his future brother-in-law, and in 1937, at just 17 years, graduated from high school. After working and military service with the Luftwaffe in Oberschleissheim, he began his medical studies at the universities of Munich, Strasbourg and Innsbruck in the summer of 1939. At the age of 21 he married Herta Dohrn (1914-2016), the stepdaughter of Harald Dohrn.
Probst only a later time joined the White Rose, because he did not belong to the same student company as Alexander Schmorell, Hans Scholl and Willi Graf, and remained at the activities in the background, because he had to consider his family. He wrote, despite influencing the texts, even none of the leaflets distributed by the White Rose, only a draft for the seventh leaflet that Hans Scholl was carrying when he was distributing with his sister Sophie on 18 February 1943 at the University of Munich the remaining copies of the sixth leaflet. When the siblings Scholl were arrested, the Gestapo thus had a proof against Probst. During the interrogation and trial, he asked for mercy because of his three children at the age of three years, two years and four weeks and because of his wife, who suffered from childbed fever. The siblings Scholl had tried unsuccessfully to protect Probst and take as much guilt on themselves to save him. Shortly before his execution, Probst was baptized by the Catholic chaplain.
On February 22, 1943 Christoph Probst was executed by the guillotine. His grave is located on the adjoining the execution site cemetery on Perlacher Forst (grave No. 73-1-18 / 19).
Probst was married and had three children: Michael (1940-2010), Vincent (* 1941) and Katja (1943-1959).
Memory and remembrance
Schools
Compared to almost 200 Geschwister-Scholl (Hans and Sophie Scholl, siblings) schools in Germany, there are only three schools named after Christoph Probst:
the Christoph Probst Secondary School in Neu-Ulm
the Christoph-Probst -Gymnasium in Gilching, which has written an in-depth publication to him (We must dare (1993) and ... so that Germany lives on! (2000))
the Christoph-Probst middle school in Murnau am Staffelsee
Monuments
In Murnau am Staffelsee a commemorative plaque is attached to the Christoph-Probst house, Kohlgruber Street 20. Also in Murnau there is a memorial column for Probst at Staffelsee-Gymnasium since 1993.
At the State Landschulheim (boarding school) Marquartstein there is a commemorative plaque next to the main entrance. It recalls the years 1933-1935, when Probst was a high school student there.
Since 1984, a commemorative plaque in front of the university building in Innsbruck commemorates Probst's time there in 1942/1943. From 1994, the square was named in front of the University Christoph-Probst-Platz.
Street names
In the following places a street or a way were named after Christoph Probst:
Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm
Munich-Freimann (since 1947)
Murnau am Staffelsee, near his still-preserved birthplace (since 1983)
Leipzig (since 1950)
In the Hamburg district Eppendorf (since 2003)
Crailsheim (since 2004)
Neuss district Weckhoven
Dormagen district Delhoven
Cologne Longerich
Meilenhofen in the town of Berg near Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz
In Ruhpolding, Traunstein / Upper Bavaria, the street in which Christoph Probst once lived was renamed "Christl-Probst-Straße". One used thereby the nickname of the resistance fighter.
In Innsbruck / Austria, the square on which the main building of the University of Innsbruck stands bears his name.
White Rose Institute e. V.
Christoph Probst's widow Herta Siebler-Probst (née Dohrn), son Michael Probst, Marie-Luise Schultze-Jahn, Hubert Furtwängler, Alexander Schmorell's half-siblings Erich Schmorell and Natascha Lange-Schmorell and Wolfgang Huber founded the Weisse Rose Institute in Munich in 2003, to examine and appreciate the biographies and history of the White Rose more thoroughly.
Martyrologium
The Catholic Church has received Christoph Probst as a witness to the German martyrology of the 20th century.
Christoph-Probst-Platz, KG Innsbruck (Innenstadt)
Der Platz liegt am Innrain, vor dem Gebäude der „neuen Universität“ (Hauptgebäude der Universität Innsbruck). Er wurde am 16. März 1994 benannt.
Christoph Probst (1919–1943) war Medizinstudent in Innsbruck und Widerstandskämpfer gegen das NS-Regime (Mitglied der Weißen Rose).
Christoph Hermann Ananda Probst (* 6. November 1919 in Murnau am Staffelsee; † 22. Februar 1943 in München-Stadelheim) war Mitglied der Widerstandsgruppe gegen den Nationalsozialismus der Weißen Rose.
Leben
Christoph „Christl“ Probst war der Sohn einer relativ wohlhabenden Familie. Durch seinen Vater, den promovierten Chemiker Hermann Probst (1886–1936), lernte er kulturelle und religiöse Freiheit kennen und schätzen. Hermann Probst war Privatgelehrter und Sanskritforscher, beschäftigte sich mit indischer Philosophie und pflegte Kontakte mit Künstlern, die im Nationalsozialismus als „entartet“ galten. Nach der Scheidung von seiner ersten Frau, Christoph Probsts Mutter Katharina, geb. von der Bank, heiratete er die Jüdin Elise Jaffée, geb. Rosenthal, die Tante des Historikers Joseph Rovan. Christophs Schwester Angelika Probst erinnert sich daran, dass ihr Bruder schon früh an den menschenverachtenden Ideen des Nationalsozialismus starke Kritik übte.
Probst besuchte von 1930 bis 1932 das Neue Gymnasium in Nürnberg (seine Mutter war aufgrund ihrer zweiten Ehe vorübergehend nach Mittelfranken gezogen) und seit 1932 die Internatsschule Marquartstein, welche, wie auch das Landerziehungsheim Schondorf, Distanz zu den Ideen des Nationalsozialismus wahrte. Er besuchte 1935 gemeinsam mit Alexander Schmorell das Neue Realgymnasium in München. Nach dem Suizid seines Vaters im Mai 1936 wechselte Probst an das Landheim Schondorf, wo er Freundschaft mit dem Lehrer Bernhard Knoop, seinem späteren Schwager, schloss und 1937, mit nur 17 Jahren, das Abitur erhielt. Nach dem Arbeits- und Militärdienst bei der Luftwaffe in Oberschleißheim begann er im Sommer 1939 sein Medizinstudium an den Universitäten München, Straßburg und Innsbruck. Mit 21 Jahren heiratete er Herta Dohrn (1914–2016), die Stieftochter von Harald Dohrn.
Probst stieß erst später zur Weißen Rose, da er nicht zur selben Studentenkompanie wie Alexander Schmorell, Hans Scholl und Willi Graf gehörte, und blieb bei den Aktivitäten im Hintergrund, weil er auf seine Familie Rücksicht nehmen musste. Er verfasste, trotz Einflussnahme auf die Texte, selbst keines der von der Weißen Rose verbreiteten Flugblätter, nur einen Entwurf für das siebte Flugblatt, den Hans Scholl bei sich trug, als er mit seiner Schwester Sophie am 18. Februar 1943 in der Universität in München die übrig gebliebenen Exemplare des sechsten Flugblattes verteilte. Als die Geschwister Scholl verhaftet wurden, hatte die Gestapo somit einen Beweis gegen Probst. Während der Verhöre und der Gerichtsverhandlung bat er um Gnade wegen seiner drei Kinder im Alter von drei Jahren, zwei Jahren und vier Wochen und wegen seiner Frau, die am Kindbettfieber litt. Auch die Geschwister Scholl hatten erfolglos versucht, Probst zu schützen und möglichst viel Schuld auf sich zu nehmen, um ihn zu retten. Kurz vor seiner Hinrichtung ließ Probst sich vom katholischen Gefängnisgeistlichen taufen.
Am 22. Februar 1943 wurde Christoph Probst durch die Guillotine hingerichtet. Sein Grab befindet sich auf dem an den Hinrichtungsort angrenzenden Friedhof am Perlacher Forst (Grab Nr. 73-1-18/19).
Probst war verheiratet und Vater von drei Kindern: Michael (1940–2010), Vincent (* 1941) und Katja (1943–1959).

Martyrologium
Die katholische Kirche hat Christoph Probst als Glaubenszeugen in das deutsche Martyrologium des 20. Jahrhunderts aufgenommen.
Aveeg Abdalmagid, age 24, campaigns against FGM, telling people the risks and complications. She has saved at least one girl, that she knows of, from FGM.
“I am campaigning for change because you find people who are 100% committed to FGM and then you can talk to them several times and they start to question it and say ‘This is really harmful, why are we doing this?’ and they start to commit to ending FGM. I am a doctor and people trust me.
“I go to rural communities and people think I am a doctor so I must no better and they listen to the consequences of FGM from me and they say 'OK we should listen to her, maybe she knows better'.
“I see all kind of people coming to me for advice – illiterate people, little girls who say that everyone in their community cuts girls and I say 'it doesn’t have to be this way', I explain the consequences and they say ‘ok you are saying this as a doctor, we must change this’.
“I see change happening here right in front of me. Nothing is better than change happening right in front of you and helping young girls to change their parents mind and stop FGM in their family.
“Last February, I was on a rural visit and I was undertaking community outreach on the risks of FGM and after my session a little girl ran up to me and she said she was due to marry and her mother was insisting she should be cut before she gets married. People think cutting a girl is a gateway to marriage for their daughters. But I said 'no, don’t do this!' I gave her my phone number and the girl got her mother to call me. The mother shouted at me for teaching her daughter about all this. I told her if she cuts her daughter I will report her, I said ‘You do this and I am going to report you!’ We ended the phone call and then two weeks later the girl got in touch with me and she said ‘my mum has now refused the groom’s offer of marriage and she is not going to cut me, I am going to continue my education.’ It is this kind of moment that keeps me going and shows me change is happening.
“To end FGM, we need to empower women, change these norms where people think girls will only be able to marry if they are cut. That is not true. We have broken the silence.”

Asha Mohammed, an undergraduate medical student, describes the work and legacy of Dr Elizabeth Casson (1881 - 1954), the first woman to receive a medical degree from the University of Bristol:
"Elizabeth was 30 when she started studying medicine at Bristol in 1913 – a move thanks in part to her uncle, Sir Isambard Owen, being the Vice-Chancellor here. She became the first woman to achieve a medical degree from the University when she graduated in 1919.
"The career change proved fortuitous, not just for Elizabeth but for the field of occupational therapy, which she went on to pioneer in the UK.
"It was during her first job in a hospital that she noticed the benefits of giving patients some voluntary artistic and occupational activities during treatment to help aid their recovery.
"In 1929, having drawn inspiration from a visit to the United States and subsequently borrowing £1,000 from her brother Lewis, she founded Dorset House in Clifton, Bristol, as a residential clinic for women with mental disorders. A year later, she launched the UK's first school of occupational therapy at the same location. There, she led occupational and artistic therapies for the promotion of psychological wellbeing, including such activities as dance, drama, and countryside excursions.
"The original Dorset House school and treatment facility grew in size, helping around 800 patients between 1929 and 1941. Elizabeth privately financed Dorset House until 1947, after which it became the Elizabeth Casson Trust in 1948.
"As a current medical student, it’s humbling to think we’re following in the footsteps of great medics like Elizabeth, whose drive and tenacity have brought about positive change for future generations."

Following the Medical Grand Rounds on the 29th January, Prof Patrick Murray officially opened new student facilities at the Merrion Campus within the hospital.
The new facilities, which include tutorial rooms and a clinical skills laboratory for specialised skills based training, will offer a comfortable, ultra-modern environment for all of our medical students during the course of their studies.
The students can also avail of a beautifully refurbished Resident Room which is available to them 24/7.
Sherborne School Archives, Sherborne School, Abbey Road, Sherborne, Dorset, UK, DT9 3AP oldshirburnian.org.uk/school-archives/
The Biology Laboratory was built on top of the Physics Laboratory in 1937, the generous gift of Alexander Hamelin Trelawny-Ross (Old Shirburnian). It was reported that 'the medical students are now delivered out of darkness into light in a place of their own, free from eviction.'
The Biology Laboratory was designed by Arnold Mitchell (1863-1944) and completed in 1937.
Arnold Mitchell may have received the commission for his work at Sherborne School through Sir Thomas Devitt (1839-1923), the uncle of Arnold Mitchell's wife, Edith Mary Devitt (1868-1955), who sent his four sons to Sherborne School (Arthur, Howson, Herbert and Philip).
In 1944, A.H. Trelawny-Ross stated that before the war Arnold Mitchell drew up free of charge a scheme for a Speech Room at Sherborne School which was to be ‘the most impressive thing in Sherborne after the Abbey.’ It was to be 80 feet high and would seat at least 800, with everyone able to see the stage. It was to have been built on a site near the Gymnasium (now the dining hall) and would have cost about £40,000.
Mitchell's works included The Sundial Cottage in Lyme Regis (1903), a Royal Villa and Golf Pavilion at Ostend for King Leopold of Belgium (1903), University College School in Hampstead (1907), the Combination Room at Gonville and Caius College at Cambridge University (1908), the Agricultural Schools at Cambridge University (later the Zoological Laboratories) (1910), a sanatorium for Harrow School (1921), the Thomas Cook building (1925), the Mayfair Hotel (1926), Biology Laboratory at Sherborne School (1937). Arnold Mitchell also designed Lott's building bricks for children (a forerunner of Lego).
Report in The Shirburnian, April 1937 on the new Biological Laboratory at Sherborne School by Henry Cecil Waring Davis, B.Sc., Scholar of University College, London. Assistant Master at Sherborne School 1928-1967:
'Until this term those of us who were so fortunate as to be studying the Science of Life have had but scant laboratory accommodation. It is true that the chemists lent us, as it were, one of their laboratories, and that we were never allowed to feel other than at home there when it was free. But apart from the facts that it was not free often enough, and that one laboratory is not being enough to hold the impedimenta of two Sciences, this place of work was not satisfactory as a biological laboratory. A biologist probing his cadavers, or searching for their ultimate units under the microscope, desires three things: a table to sit at, a sink, and a window beyond the table facing the sky. Although the conjunction can be arranged for a strictly limited number of people in most rooms, only a special room will provide for, say, a dozen people at once.
In the last few years the number of scientist in the School has greatly increased, and as the biological side shared in the general expansion, its members were divided into three sets. One of these sets could still use our old quarters, but there was no suitable accommodation for the other two. They were put to work in a room which was formerly a glorified cupboard called “the battery room,” but which now, for timetable purposes, was dignified by the name of “Lab X.” Here as many as fifteen biologist have been working, where two would have been uncomfortable. Last term these conditions proved impossible, and we often carried our microscopes, wash-bottles, and other paraphernalia through the rain to Mr Ellison’s form-room, set them up on the window-sills and stood on the desks to use them.
A year ago, at the Old Shirburnian dinner in January, 1936, the Headmaster made a public statement of the difficulties under which this part of the School’s life was being carried on. A few months later we heard that the Governors had accepted the gift of a Biological Laboratory, fully furnished, from an anonymous donor [Alexander Hamelin Trelawny-Ross]. This news cheered us enormously.
The new building was to be erected above the Physics Laboratory, which meant that it would be forty feet long and twenty-four feet wide. Some time, and a great deal of trouble, was spent in drawing up the plans. We are indebted to Professor Dean, O.S., Professor of Pathology at Cambridge University, for the interest he took in the project and for his help and advice; he very kindly entertained an emissary at Cambridge, and arranged tours of the Pathological Laboratories and (by the permission of Professor Gardiner) the Zoological Laboratories. The distinguished architect, Arnold Mitchell, Esq., used his art with notable success in meeting the technical requirements of the room; now that his drawings have been given substance it can be seen that he has also provided a room of great charm, and an exterior which, despite its modern conception, harmonises with the old building below, and much improves the appearance of this block. All the furniture and fittings were installed by Messrs. Baird & Tatlock.
The long sides of the room face west and east, and their long, low windows cheerfully let in the sun, early and late, over broad sills. One end of the room is arranged for lectures, but the whole of both sides, and the other end, is devoted to practical work. There is accommodation for over twenty boys, in either case.
At the beginning of this term the laboratory was taken into use, and is proving an ideal place in which to pursue either the theoretical or technical aspects of the subject.
The very real thanks, not only of the scientific specialists, but of all those who take an interest and pride in the proper equipment of Sherborne School, are due to the donor of this magnificent gift, which is one of the most important additions to the School buildings of recent years.'

The Sundial in Lyme Regis was purchased by Old Shirburnian, Edward Archdall Ffooks and an account of the building can be found in E.C. Ffooks, 'The Family of Ffooks of Sherborne in the County of Dorset' (Privately printed, 1958), pp.121-122:
'At about this time my father [Edward Archdall Ffooks (1859-1832), attended Sherborne School 1870-74; solicitor; JP; Clerk of the Peace; Under Sheriff for Dorset; Governor of Sherborne School 1906-32] made perhaps the most popular of his investments – the purchase of a small house at Lyme Regis facing the sea which in winter gales sometimes even sprayed its windows; it was called “The Sundial”. It has been built by an architect, a Mr Arnold Mitchell [Arnold Bidlake Mitchell (1863-1944)], but unfortunately for him though luckily for our family, after its completion it was found that because of her health his wife [Edith Mary Devitt (1868-1955)], for whom it had been expressly designed, could not live in Lyme, so that it was sold.
Built principally of “Ham-Hill” stone on a very small square site dug out of the cliff-side, it obtained its accommodation by having four stories not counting the basement, the latter most interesting to us children for this part housed in winter the bathing raft the first of its kind in Lyme’s summer seas as well as deck-chairs and the dungeons of a minute coal cellar and smaller wine cellar.
On the outside face between the bag windows of the first and second floor was the carved sundial and motto “Horas non numero nisi serenas” and its lead-paned windows were what must have been some of “Crittals” earliest and most solid productions.
A narrow staircase with lead-covered treads installed for bathers wound upwards past the drawing room which filled the whole of the front of the first floor though measuring only some fourteen feet in length but having as did some of the other rooms delightful plasterwork, with fishes, dolphins and the like round the fireplace and on the dados and cornices.
Upstairs again past the best bedroom, the size of the main room below, a bathroom and the other small but necessary room, up to another front bedroom occupied generally by children with a miniature room at the back as there was also behind the drawing room on the first floor. Even here the fun did not stop, for one could climb still higher to the flat lead roof and yet again by fixing iron climbing steps to the base of the flagpole.
When the family was not in residence, which was at most during the summer holidays or at Easter and occasional weekends, the house was let furnished and with its cook-caretaker; first “Harriett” a delightful little soul taken over with the house, and later our own “Selway”, Miss Selway, the most faithful of family friends.
