Hysteria!
Do you suffer from headaches, sadness, low energy, high energy, hearing loss, anxiety, pain, hallucinations, or any other problem AND you have a uterus? This can only lead to one diagnosis: hysteria! Hysteria (from the Greek hystera = uterus) began as the idea of the uterus moving around the body, causing all sorts of physical and mental troubles on the way. The first mentions of the wandering womb date back to 1900 BC. Throughout the ages, hysteria remained an umbrella diagnosis for a variety of issues women faced, from more ‘reasonable’ ones (different ailments) to everything seen as ‘unwomanly’ behaviors, like being short-tempered, not wanting to marry, or not being interested in having children.

Halsted, Hampton, And Rubber Gloves
In 1889, Caroline Hampton was a talented young nurse working at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. She was the chief nurse in the medical team working with William Halsted, one of the founders of the hospital and a well-known surgeon. After a few months of assisting in the operating room, Caroline was on the verge of resigning from her position due to painful eczema and dermatitis she had developed as a result of following Halsted’s strict hygienic procedure that included disinfecting hands and instruments with multiple chemical solutions. The surgeon didn’t want to part with his favorite assistant, so he came up with a brilliant idea:
debbie is gone. her daughter princess leia, star wars. if you re she s gone. talking about losing that part of us we grew up on if you re my age or of any age, people we ll never get back. muhammad ali is gone, david bowie is gone. we ve lost stars and it s so sad. 2016 is coming to close and i m not only one thinking when is this going to end. day after day indeed. can t end too soon. people are joking around now saying who is going to be next. and that morbid humor might keep us going. george michael. irreplaceable icons. talent you re not going to see every day, maybe in a lifetime. should appreciate them. sister called me, appreciate
and he pointed to the watch and he started laughing, and he said a lot of people have new watches. hopefully he is just making morbid humor, but there is no question people have been going through things, and what do you expect when you are in the middle of a civil war? it s sickening and horrible for the families involved and that much more horrible because of this. i want to go to simon. you are in the netherlands and holland lost 189. describe the reaction there. there must be tremendous anger and people starting to point their finger at russia or the militants for what was responsible. what are you hearing there? reporter: yeah, amidst the mourning and the grieving here, jim, there is a lot of anger, too. a lot of questions are being raised about the investigation. they want to know what is happening about that.
