    Yellow Fever Dialectical Journal

    The reader knows that “all was not right” because it says in the chapter “The sickness began with chills, headache, and a painful aching in the back, arms, and legs. A high fever developed accompanied by constipation. This stage lasted around three days, and then the fever suddenly broke and the patient seemed to recover. But only for a few short hours.” This quotation is showing us that this fever wasn't like the ones they had. Normally their fevers would be able to go down because of the medicine they gave the patient but this fever would go away for a short amount of time and com right because.…

    Symbolism In Alice Anderson's Yellow Fever '

    Because Yellow Fever has taken over Philadelphia, Mattie must say goodbye many times despite how difficult it may be. Mattie said goodbye to Mother when she left for the countryside, when she lost the coffeehouse, and when Grandfather passed away. For example, saying goodbye to Grandfather was one of the hardest times for Mattie. At first Mattie could not believe that her grandfather was about to die. Right before he was about to pass away, Mattie kept denying it due to the fact that she did not want it to happen. Anderson writes, “Anything but this” (147). This is significant because it shows how much Mattie loved Grandfather and how hard it was to say goodbye. They were extremely close and Mattie had to witness his death, and even…

    Yellow Fever: The French And The Philadelphia

    The doctors who take care of the disease called yellow fever are Philadelphia doctors and the French. The fever was spreading like a swarm of bees going flower to flower. Yellow fever started in 1793. Ships brought infected mosquitos to Philadelphia and because of this became a horrible disaster that killed 2000-5000 people. Once the mosquito bites a person it draws blood from the person and then the mosquito bites another person where it releases the blood from the other person and then the infection starts.

    Lack Of Medicine In The Elizabethan Era

    It was not until Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross after the Civil War of 1860 to 1865, that sanitation of wounds and medical instruments were understood. Clara realized replacing a bloody bandage and sanitizing medical tools could drastically lessen the chances of infection. Sepsis during this time could have resulted in amputation or death. If a physician had successfully managed to treat a patient, the success had only been obtained through luck (Mortimer 191). This demonstrates how medicine in the Elizabethan Era was very unsuccessful and medical understanding was very limited. Therefore, lack of medical knowledge provoked the spread of disease throughout Europe.…

    Small Pox History

    The smallpox eradication through vaccination was possible at most due to one feature: there is no animal reservoir of smallpox, variola (VARV) spreads person to-person (11). Additionally, already early in the history those who bore pox scars were noted to be resistant to disease recurrence. And the persons who acquired smallpox through a scratch were witnessed to have attenuated course of disease. Buddhist nun sometime between 1022 and 1063 AD started an inoculation with smallpox pus or scabs either by a nasal or cutaneous route, a procedure known as variolation. This practice eventually spread to China, India and Turkey, and by the late 1700s, was practiced by European physicians (10). In 1798 the English physician Edward Jenner established a much safer practice, demonstrating that another poxvirus, CPXV, could be used to prevent smallpox infections in humans (10). After absorbing, that milkmaids who developed cowpox lesions are resistant to smallpox. Jenner took a fluid from a cowpox pustule on a dairymaid’s hand and used it for inoculation of an 8-year-old…

    The Bubonic Plague: A Turning Point In History

    The Bubonic Plague, though not as common and severe today, was once a formidable and intimidating illness that swept through and infected most of three continents in the span of -approximately- twenty years. Due to this unfortunate travesty that annihilated one-third of the population of Europe, we have developed new strategies for undertaking such illnesses. An example of the strategies would be the quarantine. Although it is not used much in modern society today, the quarantine has been a major contribution to the medical world and has been quite affective as well. Whether it is nursery rhymes or quarantines, it goes without saying that the Black Plague was an extremely influential matter. It also may have been the most significant worldwide sickness…
