John Diamond (doctor)

John Diamond (9 August 1934 – 25 April 2021) was a physician and author on holistic health and creativity.
Education.
Diamond graduated from Sydney Medical School in 1957 and was awarded his Diploma in Psychological Medicine in 1962.
Professional associations.
He was a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, a Foundation Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, a Diplomate of the International College of Applied Kinesiology, a Fellow and past-president of the International Academy of Preventive Medicine, and an Honorary Advisor to the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation and its Japanese sister organization, The Koushikai Foundation.
Life work.
Diamond was the founder of Life-Energy Analysis (formerly Behavioral Kinesiology), a system based upon Applied Kinesiology, which he developed in the 1970s, after moving to the US from Australia. He was the first medical doctor trained in applied kinesiology to become a Diplomate of the International Board of Applied Kinesiology (1976) and he was the only doctor trained in applied kinesiology to have studied personally with Florence Kendall.
He was also the author of bestsellers "Your Body Doesn't Lie" (originally released as "Behavioral Kinesiology"), and "Life Energy: Unlocking the Hidden Power of Your Emotions to Achieve Well-Being". His book "Facets of a Diamond: Reflections of a Healer" is endorsed by Bernie Siegel and Caroline Myss.
After moving back to the US from England in 1996, Diamond practiced as a holistic consultant in New York and founded The Institute for Music and Health and The Arts-Health Institute to train those interested in learning how to use the arts as a therapeutic modality.
A central component of Diamond's approach was what he termed "cantillation," from the Latin word for "to sing." Cantillation conventionally refers to the chanting of sacred texts, but Diamond applied it in a wider sense both of feeling loved, and in turn expressing that love to others through music, art, poetry and any other act of creativity. Diamond's technique was to reveal the activity unique to each person which allowed them to "cantillate," and then show them how to experience joy and fulfillment through the practice of that activity. He found that when the student did this, it greatly relieved their stress.
The Institute for Music and Health.
The Institute for Music and Health (IMH) is a center based in New York's Hudson Valley providing training and service in the area of "music for wellness." The IMH disseminates the work of Diamond through a variety of programs for all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. The Institute's approach is called the Diamond Method for Music and espouses an altruistic philosophy. It runs community outreach programs involving interactive and intergenerational music-making, connecting mainstream and special needs children with seniors.
The Music Engagement Program.
Diamond's work has been cited as the inspiration for the Music Engagement Program (MEP) at the Australian National University School of Music. The MEP is based on what program director Susan West terms the Music Outreach Principle, an altruistic approach to music making which "draws on the philosophies of Dr. John Diamond and encompasses a modern interpretation of the idea that sharing music making promotes general well being."
According to Australian Capital Territory Arts Minister Joy Burch, as of mid-2013, the program reached 6,000 students, 120 teachers and 28 schools. Burch estimated that 2014-2016 student participation would increase to 10,000 students across ACT schools.

Fanny Reading

Fanny Reading (born Fanny Rubinovich; 2 December 1884 – 19 November 1974) was a Jewish Australian community leader and medical practitioner.
Reading is widely credited with encouraging Jewish Australian women to become more widely involved in discussions about Jewish issues throughout much of the 20th century.
Early life and education.
Fanny Rubinovich was born in Karelichy near Minsk in Russia in 1884. Her parents were Orthodox Jewish. She migrated to Australia with her mother in 1889 where her father had already emigrated to after Reading's birth.
Spending her childhood in Ballarat, Victoria, the family relocated to Melbourne in the early 1900s, where she completed her secondary education before attending the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, graduating with a Diploma of Music in 1914.
In 1918, with the rise of racial antisemitism during World War I, Reading's father changed the family name from Rubinovich to Reading.
Reading returned to the University of Melbourne to study medicine, graduating in 1922.
Career.
Relocating to Sydney, she commenced a medical practice with her brother in Kings Cross.
Through her extensive work as a doctor, particularly with women and children, Reading became an honorary medical officer of the St George Hospital, Rachel Forster Hospital and the Wolper Jewish Hospital. Reading was also honoured by being appointed life governor of the Benevolent Society, the Dalwood Children's Homes and the Crown Street Women's Hospital.
Work with the Jewish community.
Reading's early involvement with Jewish organisations included teaching part-time at the Hebrew School in St Kilda, serving as honorary secretary of Jewish literary society, Maccabean Union and serving as vice-president of the Jewish Young People's Association.
In 1923, inspired by Zionist emissary Bella Pevsner, Reading established the Council of Jewish Women of New South Wales, a Zionist organisation of which she was president between 1923 and 1931, adopting the ideals of philanthropy, education and service. In 1925, Reading attended a number of international events including an International Council of Jewish Women convention in Washington, D.C. and the Fourteenth Zionist Congress in Vienna, while also visiting Palestine before returning to Australia in March 1926. After new branches of the Council of Jewish Women had formed in different states of Australia, the National Council of Jewish Women was formed in 1929.
Throughout the 1930s, Reading helped Jewish refugees arriving in Australia from Nazi Germany through her immigration work with the Australian Jewish Welfare Society.
In the mid 1940s, Reading served as a vice-president of Youth Aliyah. In 1947, the Victorian branch of the National Jewish Council of Women honoured Reading for her Zionism work by raising £4000 to redeem a portion of land in Palestine in Reading's honour called "Nahlat Dr. Fanny Reading".
In 1957, after attending an International Council of Jewish Women convention in Israel, a settlement was named "Neve Zipporah", in honour of Reading's Hebrew name, Zipporah Rubinovich.
Defamation case.
Sydney newspaper "Smith's Weekly" published an article on 31 May 1947 headlined "Huge funds to fight the British" which accused Jewish organisation Youth Aliyah of raising funds to fight British troops in Palestine. Following the article's publication, Reading attempted to sue National Press Pty Ltd for £10,000 pounds in damages, believing that as a member and a vice-president of the association, her reputation and credibility had been damaged by the statements made in the newspaper article.
The magistrates ruled in favour of "Smith's Weekly", stating that because Reading had not been identified in the article, there was no case and said that as the law stood, "a class, sect, congregation of people" could not be subject to libel action.
Death and legacy.
Reading died at the Wolper Jewish Hospital on 19 November 1974, and was buried in the Rookwood Cemetery in Sydney, New South Wales.
Since 1947, the University of Melbourne has offered the National Council of Jewish Women of Australia Fanny Reading Scholarship in Hebrew Language to foster Jewish and Hebrew studies. It was established when the National Council of Jewish Women presented the university with the sum of £600 to endow a scholarship named in their founders honour, for it to be presented to a Bachelor of Arts student with honours in Semitic Studies.
In 1953, an appeal was launched by the National Council of Jewish Women to establish an events venue in Reading's honour. It was officially opened as the NCJWA War Memorial Fanny Reading Council House in Woollahra in 1963.
Upon the Wolper Jewish Hospital in Woollahra completing expansions in 1966, a new surgical wing was named the Fanny Reading Wing.
In December 1971, when Australian Prime Minister William McMahon opened the National Jewish Memorial Centre in the Canberra suburb of Forrest, his wife Sonia McMahon unveiled a plaque and dedicated the centre's auditorium as the Fanny Reading Auditorium.


Hospital dos Marmeleiros

Hospital dos Marmeleiros is a hospital in Monte (Funchal), Madeira.
History.
On 23 July 1905, the Paris edition of the "New York Herald" carried a report headed: "German Company Plans to Make Madeira an up-to-date Resort". In return for a promise to build a sanatorium and hospitals and treat 40 tuberculosis patients a year free, the Madeira "Aktiengesellschaft", headed by Prince Friedrich Karl Hohenlohe-Öhringen, was in an arrangement with the Portuguese government, that in turn for building these facilities it will take over all business concerns on Madeira. When plans for some of the hospitals were exposed as being designs for hotels and holiday camps, the Madeirans realized that they were being colonized through the back door and promptly withdrew the concession. Just before this the Germans were constructing what is today the Hospital dos Marmeleiros (the only building the Germans began to build), the Germans were given a tax break and did not need to pay tax on anything needed to construct the hospital. The site was left abandoned until 1930 when the Madeirans continued to build the Hospital dos Marmeleiros.
Locals say that the reason that the hospital construction was abandoned by the Germans was not just because of their colonization plans being discovered. It was that during the construction of the hospital the Germans needed special materials not available on Madeira, so it was agreed that Madeirans would take the materials up to the site from the German ship in the harbour. The strongest horses were used to bring up the wooden barrels. The local Madeiran with the strongest horses bringing up the materials was suspicious that what he was taking up the hill was heavier than what should be needed to construct the hospital, so he on purpose let one of the barrels roll down the hill and smash open. It is alleged that it was filled with rifles. When the locals looked inside what was already constructed they found ammunition and more guns. This caused the Madeirans to confiscate all German property in Madeira and stop the construction of the hospital.
On November 1930, the building was completed and the first patients were transferred there, making it one of the first hospitals in the country. The inauguration of the new facilities took place on August 10, 1940.

Edward (Nikk) J Phelan

Edward (Nikk) Joseph Phelan is a notable figure in the profession of pharmacy in Australia, highlighted by his winning The Evans Medal For Merit in 1969 for outstanding contribution to the practice of hospital pharmacy (later known as the GlaxoSmithKline Medal of Merit).
Nikk began his career as a pharmacist in Queensland, undertaking his apprenticeship at the Friendly Societies’ Dispensary in Maryborough. He then practiced as a locum throughout Queensland before settling in Mackay. It was here that he partnered with Dr F. N. Hales to form National Products, a company to indent and supply reagent chemicals, scientific glassware and equipment to Queensland Sugar Mills.
Nikk spent some time as a Pharmaceutical Detailer following the dissolution of the business partnership in Mackay, before World War II broke out and he was directed by the Medical Co-ordination Committee to approved technical occupation. He became the chemist in charge of the emergency laboratory producing galenicals and preparations for pharmaceutical use, and also essences, food colours, and preservatives for the baking, confectionery and cordial making trades.
Following the end of the war, Nikk took up the position of pharmacist at Townsville General Hospital in 1954. At this time he took a keen interest in a number of pharmacy organisations, including the Miscellaneous Workers’ Union, forming and establishing the second sub-branch in Australia of the Miscellaneous Worker’s Union and was elected foundation president, a position he held until his relocation from Townsville to New South Wales in 1958.
Nikk’s relocation to New South Wales was to take up the position of Chief Pharmacist at the Sutherland District Hospital at Caringbah. It was here that he joined the Institutional and Industrial Pharmacists’ group and was elected to the committee. From here he joined with Mavis Sweeney, the only member of the Society of Hospital Chemists of Australia (now known as The Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia) and was elected foundation president of the New South Wales state branch of the now SHPA. In his time as president of the NSW branch, he lobbied the State Health Department to allow Bachelor of Pharmacy graduates to choose to undertake their pre-registration training in NSW state hospitals rather than in a community pharmacy, and successfully had the legislation amended.
Nikk was appointed to the Federal Council of the Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia shortly before he was awarded The Evans Medal of Merit in 1969.

In 2006, he was re-elected for an additional six-year term.
Assassination.
Safdar Abbasi and his wife, Naheed Khan, faced many problems after Benazir Bhutto's assassination on December 27, 2007, in Liaquat Bagh. Both were considered close to Benazir Bhutto and sidelined under the new leadership of Asif Ali Zardari, along with her other close advisers.
Since Benazir Bhutto's death, many of the party workers who were close to her lost their positions in the Zardari government, including party worker and leader of the lawyers movement in Pakistan Aitezaz Ahsan. Instead, many new figures were introduced to fill these positions.


William Lemen Thomas

William Lemen Thomas (25 September 1872 – 13 July 1921) was an Australian politician who was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1911 to 1917, representing the seat of Bunbury. He was a minister in the government of Henry Lefroy.

University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry

The University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry is a dental school located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is one of the ten dental schools in Canada. It is the largest dental school in Canada with a range of undergraduate and graduate level programs and an enrolment of around 610 students (not including specialty or residency programs). The faculty is located at the heart of Downtown Toronto's Discovery District, a neighbourhood with a high concentration of hospitals and research institutes, just south of the University of Toronto's St. George campus. In 2014, the Faculty of Dentistry joined the Toronto Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration (TAAAC), providing support in building capacity for oral health in Ethiopia by creating collaborative teaching opportunities.
History.
In 1868, the Province of Ontario passed the "Act Respecting Dentistry". This Act granted the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO) dual responsibilities of licensing and dental education in Ontario. In 1875, the Royal College of Dental Surgeons was founded, with its first semester schedule to start on November 3, 1875. Under the Act, the RCDS could grant a Licentiate of Dental Surgery (LDS), which was not a formal degree, but training that granted those interested in a license to practice dentistry in Ontario. James Branston Willmott was the first Dean of the school. Dr. Willmott, joined by Dr. Luke Teskey were the only two professors guiding the first class of eleven students in 1875–1876. The RCDS established an affiliation with the University of Toronto in 1888, but it was not until 1889 that it granted the Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degrees. In 1925, the RCDS became the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Toronto.
One of the alumni of the Faculty of Dentistry, Dr. Harold Keith Box, DDS, PhD (1890–1956), was as a stakeholder in establishing the Canadian Dental Association Research Foundation (CDAF), organized by a committee of the Canadian Dental Association. The CDAF was the first of its kind in Canada, an organization that focused on providing funding for dental research projects in Canadian dental schools. Due to his contribution to the establishment of the CDAF and the various publications that emerged from his work, Dr. Harold Keith Box is known as the father of dental research in Canada. The Faculty of Dentistry continued to contribute to dental research initiatives and became a distinguished contributor at the international level. In 1921, International Association of Dental Research had four chapters, one of which was in Toronto (in addition to Chicago, Boston and New York). In 1927, the IADR Toronto Chapter was successful in receiving funds for the first hospital internship that ensured students had four free hours per day so that they could devote time to research.
In 1945, after years of negotiations, three University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry professors, Dr. Frank Lott, Dr. Harvey Reid and Dr. Roy G. Ellis, in their role as members of the CDA Research Committee, were able to secure funding for dental research from the National Research Council of Canada. This ensured that generations of dental researchers had access to funding. With the continuous flow of funding, the Faculty of Dentistry was able to establish the first Dental Public Health specialty in 1946, and with its inception began a long history of effort in research and initiatives that would influence oral health policies in Canada.
Ice hockey team.
The faculty of dentistry formerly operated a senior ice hockey team known as the Toronto Dentals, which competed in the Ontario Hockey Association and won the J. Ross Robertson Cup in 1917. The Toronto Dentals also became Canadian national champions with their victory at the 1917 Allan Cup. Alumni of the Toronto Dentals hockey team include Stan Brown, Bert McCaffrey, Glenn Smith, Rod Smylie, Charles Stewart and Harry Watson.
Curriculum.
The Faculty offers a number of programs. The undergraduate programs include a four-year internationally recognized dental degree Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), and an International Dentist Advanced Placement Program (IDAPP). Graduate studies programs include MSc or PhD with a research option or in one of ten dental specialty training options, including Dental Anesthesia, Dental Public Health, Endodontics, Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and/or Oral Medicine, Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Paediatric Dentistry, Periodontics, and Prosthodontics. Approximately 13 yearly residencies for the dental specialty training are available at several of Toronto's teaching hospitals, namely The Hospital for Sick Children, Mount Sinai Hospital, and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. The Faculty also hosts ongoing onsite and online courses and workshops for dental professionals through their Continuing Dental Education unit.
Research.
The Faculty of Dentistry has various research foci, including Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering, Connective Tissues and Regenerative Medicine, Dental Public Health, Education Research, Microbiology, Oral Pathology and Cancer, and Pain and Neuroscience. In addition, the Faculty of Dentistry, in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, has established the world-renowned Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering (IBBME).
Imaging research facility.
In 2019, the Faculty of Dentistry opened the Collaborative Advanced Microscopy Laboratories of Dentistry (Camilod), an imaging facility available to researchers in the Toronto area. Camilod uses atomic force microscopy, light and hard electron microscopy, confocal, sliding electron microscopy, epifluorescence microscopes, and wide field microscopy.


Jay Bhattacharya

Jay Bhattacharya (born 1968 in Kolkata, India) is a professor of medicine at Stanford University and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He directs Stanford's Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging. Bhattacharya's research focuses on the health and well-being of populations, with a particular emphasis on the role of government programs, biomedical innovation, and economics.
Most recently, Bhattacharya has focused his research on the epidemiology of COVID-19 and evaluation of the various policy responses to the epidemic. He is a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, a document proposing a relaxation of social controls that delay the spread of COVID-19.
Early life and education.
Bhattacharya has four degrees from Stanford, including an MD from Stanford Medical School and a PhD in economics.
Career.
Bhattacharya is a professor of medicine at Stanford University, a professor by courtesy of economics at Stanford, a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, and a senior fellow by courtesy at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies.
From 2006 to 2008, he was a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. From 1998 to 2001, he was an economist at the RAND Corporation and a visiting assistant professor at the UCLA Department of Economics.
COVID-19 pandemic.
Bhattacharya is a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, a proposal arguing for an alternative public health approach to dealing with COVID-19, through “focused protection” of the people most at risk. In it, Bhattacharya and the two other researchers called on governments to overturn their coronavirus strategies and to allow young and healthy people to return to normal life while protecting the most vulnerable. This would let the virus spread in low-risk groups, with the aim of achieving “herd immunity”, which would result in enough of the population becoming resistant to the virus to quell the pandemic. The authors conceded that it was hard to protect older people in the community, but suggested individuals could shield themselves and that efforts to keep infections low "merely dragged matters out". Bhattacharya wrote the declaration with Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University, and Sunetra Gupta, professor of theoretical epidemiology at Oxford University. It was published on 5 October 2020.
The World Health Organization and numerous academic and public-health bodies have stated that the proposed strategy is dangerous, unethical, and lacks a sound scientific basis.
Writing for Science-Based Medicine, David Gorski speculated whether the scientists fronting the declaration were simply being useful idiots for American Institute for Economic Research, the organization promoting it, or whether they were actively being "motivated more by ideology than science", but said that the practical effect was that the declaration provided a narrative of scientific division useful for political purposes.
In an interview, Bhattacharya said he hoped the declaration would prompt a dialogue about the benefits and harms of public health interventions. In May 2020, Bhattacharya met with then-U.S. President Donald Trump's health officials to explain his criticism of lockdown policy and his proposal of "focused protection" on people.
In March 2021, Bhattacharya called the COVID-19 lockdowns the "biggest public health mistake we’ve ever made" and claimed that "The harm to people is catastrophic".
In May 2021, Bhattacharya was called as an expert witness for ten applicants who filed a constitutional challenge against Manitoba’s COVID-19 public health orders.
Publications.
Bhattacharya has published 135 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals in the fields of medicine, economics, health policy, epidemiology, statistics, law, and public health, among others.

Peel Memorial Hospital

Peel Memorial Hospital (PMH) was a 367-bed acute care hospital located in central Brampton, Ontario. PMH was founded in 1925 and became a part of the William Osler Health Centre in 1998. It previously served approximately 400,000 residents in Brampton and the surrounding areas. Over 96,832 patients were treated on an out-patient basis, another 70,446 residents used the 24/7 emergency department and 22,889 patients were admitted for inpatient care (2001 estimate). The hospital employed over 1,800 professional and support personnel. There were 320 physicians as well as approximately 600 volunteers that contributed their services and fund raising efforts.
In 1997 the Health Services Restructuring Commission made a decision to amalgamate Georgetown and District Memorial Hospital, the Etobicoke General Hospital, and PMH to form the William Osler Health Centre. In early 2006, the Brampton campus of the William Osler Health Centre was renamed back to Peel Memorial Hospital, as residents continued to use the old name, a cause of much confusion.
It is superseded by the Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness
Peel Memorial Hospital is currently funded by the Central West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN).
Renovations (October 28, 2007).
According to the William Osler's website, "On Sunday October 28, 2007, health care programs and services at Peel Memorial Hospital were discontinued until redevelopment plans are developed and implemented." Upon closing, all Hospital services were transferred to the new Brampton Civic Hospital.
Demolition and construction of Peel Memorial Centre.
On February 10, 2012, demolition of the existing structure began. A new $530 million facility, Peel Memorial Centre, opened in 2017. It serves as a long-term health facility for those with chronic illness to make beds available, and alleviate pressure from the nearby Brampton Civic Hospital. It also features an urgent care facility which is designed to help in relieving, and reducing wait times at the main hospital (Brampton Civic).


Mount Carmel Community Hospital

Mount Carmel Community Hospital () is a short-stay rehabilitation hospital in Churchtown, Dublin, Ireland.
History.
The hospital was founded by the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary and officially opened by John Charles McQuaid, Archbishop of Dublin, as Mount Carmel Hospital in August 1950. A purpose-built facility was completed in October 1960.
In 2002, the hospital received Joint Commission International accreditation. It was acquired by Harlequin Healthcare, a company controlled by Gerry Conlan who also owned Aut Even Hospital in Kilkenny and St. Joseph's Hospital, Sligo, for €50 million in July 2006. Following the acquisition, Conlan's business evolved to become Mount Carmel Medical Group. After Conlan's business got into financial difficulties, the National Asset Management Agency took control of the hospital in 2010.
In January 2014, it was announced that the financial support from National Asset Management Agency propping up the hospital operations was being withdrawn and that the High Court had approved a request to appoint a liquidator. Following the closure of the hospital, the circumstances leading up to the closure were discussed by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children on 18 February 2014.
The hospital was bought by the Health Service Executive for a reported €11 million in September 2014. It re-opened as a short-stay rehabilitation hospital known as Mount Carmel Community Hospital in September 2015.
Services.
Specialities provided include dermatology, dental surgery, otolaryngology (ENT), general surgery, urology, obstetrics and gynaecology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, pathology, plastic surgery, physiotherapy, and radiology.


National Civic Council

The National Civic Council (or NCC) is an Australian Conservative Christian lobby group, founded by B.A. Santamaria in the 1940s. The NCC publishes a weekly magazine, "News Weekly".
The NCC promotes policy based on Santamaria's Catholic values, including opposition to feminism, abortion, same-sex marriage and supporting Christian values along with "the integrity of human life", "the family unit", decentralism and patriotism (including economic). It is usually considered socially conservative, while in economics it is critical of both socialist and economic-rationalist trends. The group organised support for Tony Abbott before the spill motion in February 2015.
History.
The NCC evolved in 1957 from the Catholic Social Studies Movement (also known simply as "The Movement") which was founded in the early 1940s by prominent Catholic layman B.A. Santamaria. The Movement worked closely with the Industrial Groups, which were formed within the Australian Labor Party to combat the influence and infiltration of the Communist Party in trade unions. The Movement, and later the NCC, had close links with the original Democratic Labor Party.
The organisation's website states that its "primacies" are "The family as the basic unit of society," opposition to "excessive centralization," the "right to life" from fertilisation to natural death, patriotism, and "Judeo-Christian values."
Publications and influence.
The NCC publishes a national magazine, "News Weekly", as well as a journal of religious opinion called "AD2000". Various states maintain their own smaller publications, such as "Action", "Comment" and "FACTS".
Peter Westmore, the current national president of the NCC, was a candidate at the 1975 federal election for the original Democratic Labor Party.
The Australian Family Association (AFA) is an affiliate of the NCC which maintains a high profile on a range of social issues. It was created as a conservative Catholic political party in the 1990s by the AFA and the NCC. In 2014, Peter Westmore attended a "strengthening the family" conference organised to support the World Congress of Families.
Tony Abbott, who was Australia's Prime Minister from 2013 to 2015, became interested in politics in 1976 after attending a National Civic Council conference. Abbott represented the Democratic Club in the 1970s, which was sponsored by the NCC. Gerard Henderson describes the NCC as Abbott's "original spiritual and political home in politics". Various media sources have reported that a NCC email campaign helped in part to secure Tony Abbott's position as Prime Minister before the spill motion in February 2015. Senator Eric Abetz stated before the spill: "In the last few days the emails have been overwhelmingly flooding the office saying all this nonsense about leadership has gone far too far, and the emails are now overwhelmingly saying 'stick to the team you've got'" In 1999, Abetz was a speaker on "the family" at Family Council of Victoria (a "front" group dominated by the National Civic Council's Australian Family Association). Abetz also spoke at the NCC in November 2011.
Organisation.
The NCC has its national office in Melbourne, as well as ones in Brisbane, Townsville, Adelaide and Perth.
The current NCC National President is Peter Westmore, who succeeded B.A. Santamaria following the latter's death in February 1998. The National Vice-President is Pat Byrne, and there are also a number of State presidents, who co-ordinate local groups in each state.
In November 2014, Westmore attended his daughter Trish's marriage to her female partner Christy in New Zealand, where same-sex marriage was made legal in 2013. He said his daughter's wedding had his blessing: "She always has my blessing in everything she does". Asked on 24 March 2015, if he still supported the NCC's opposition to same-sex marriage, he said: "Of course I do". Westmore did not respond when queried about the apparent inconsistency between his personal and his political positions on the issue. He asked Fairfax Media to "respect" his family's privacy.

Canadian Medical Association

The Canadian Medical Association (CMA; ) is a national, voluntary association of physicians and medical learners that advocates on national health matters. Its new strategic plan identifies its primary mandate: driving positive change in health care by advocating on key health issues facing doctors and their patients.
The "Canadian Medical Association Journal" (often abbreviated as "CMAJ") is a peer-reviewed general medical journal that publishes original clinical research, commentaries, analyses and reviews of clinical topics, health news, and clinical-practice updates.
Membership.
The CMA has over 75,000 members and is the largest association of medical doctors in Canada. Its membership includes physicians and medical learners. The CMA represents Canadian physicians from medical school through to residency, medical practice and retirement.
History.
The CMA's origins may rest with Dr. Joseph Painchaud and other Quebec physicians who in 1844 hoped to find ways to help physicians and, after their deaths, their widows and orphans. There were false starts in attempts to form an association, but soon after confederation, practising physicians were successful in developing a national body.
The CMA's first president was Sir Charles Tupper, the Nova Scotia Premier who led that province into confederation and later became Prime Minister of Canada. The foundation of the CMA was strongly rooted in its Scottish origins as the first three presidents of the CMA graduated from the Edinburgh Medical School.
Among the CMA's founding principles in 1867 was to "improve public health and prevent disease and disability," a purpose which remains today.
The CMA Code of Ethics has been around in one form or another since 1868. As recently as 2015 this document was considered by the CMA to be "arguably the most important document produced by the CMA. It has a long and distinguished history of providing ethical guidance to Canada’s physicians. Focus areas include decision-making, consent, privacy, confidentiality, research and physician responsibilities. The code is updated every 5-6 years and has a major revision approximately every 20 years. Changes must be approved by CMA General Council."
The fledgling association faced a lot of growing pains in its first 25 years as meeting attendance was small. There was even a notice of motion in 1894 to disband it.
The "Montreal Medical Journal" was taken over in 1911 to become the "CMA Journal".
In 1921, the CMA re-organized with the appointment of its first permanent general-secretary, Dr. T.C. Routley. The association also became more financially stable by raising funds with a bond issue.
Over the years, the CMA and its physician members have contributed to improved health and safety of Canadians. They have advocated on behalf of patients and educated the public to limit the effects of outbreaks, such as the 1918 Spanish flu, SARS in 2002 and the H1N1 influenza pandemic in 2009–2010.
The CMA was instrumental in advancing awareness and treatment of cancer and formed the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS). The association provided most of the funds for the early years of the CCS based on interest generated from public donations made to a fund honouring King George V's silver jubilee.
Since the 1950s, the CMA has warned the public about tobacco use. It successfully fought against promotional tobacco marketing and for new laws that curbed smoking and other tobacco consumption among Canadians.
The CMA played an important role in medical assistance in dying (MAID) legislation, calling it one of the most complex and ethically challenging issues facing Canadian physicians. The CMA supports its members in exercising their freedom of conscience - both for those who chose to provide or participate in physician assisted suicide and those who do not.
The CMA also played a central role in the creation of the Registered Retirement Savings Plan in 1957 as a tool to provide its members financial security in retirement. MD Financial Management MD Financial Management was developed in 1969 to provide financial services to physicians and their families. It was sold in 2018 to Scotiabank and the sale includes a 10-year collaboration agreement.
In 2018, the CMA ended its membership in the World Medical Association (WMA) to protest the plagiarism found in the speech of the WMA's incoming president.
Advocacy.
As a national association of physicians and medical learners, the CMA often advocates on key health issues that matter to Canadians and its members. In developing its positions, it seeks input through town hall meetings, surveys its members and reviews relevant scientific research. It also seeks input from provincial and territorial medical associations and from its more than 60 affiliate, associate and stakeholder organizations.

In the 2019 federal election, the CMA is working to make health and health care a key election issue. The CMA's campaign focuses on six priority issues that were validated through extensive consultation earlier in the year:
Physician assisted suicide.
In 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada, in a unanimous decision, struck down the Criminal Code's absolute prohibition on physician-assisted death. As a result, the CMA developed foundational principles for medical aid in dying to guide discussions with its members and with the federal government on ensuring patient dignity and upholding the rights of both patients and physicians. Consultations included submissions and presentations to the federal "External Panel on Options for a Legislative Response to Carter v. Canada", the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights and Health Canada.
The CMA continues to work with government to address outstanding issues including medically assisted dying for mature minors and those who have mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition.
Public mobilization campaign.
In 2015 the CMA embarked on its first major public mobilization efforts. With a federal election happening that year, the CMA saw an opportunity to align with the public on an issue that mattered to both the public and physicians. Hence, Demand a Plan was born.
Demand a Plan is a public campaign spearheaded by the CMA with the aim of having all levels of government work together to develop a comprehensive national seniors strategy. Over 74,000 people have signed up in support of the campaign.
The Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities, in a report in March 2018, adopted many of the recommendations made the previous year by the CMA on ways to better serve seniors with improvements to housing, income security and quality of life.
The success of Demand a Plan brought on a new era of public mobilization at the CMA. Recognizing that there are many more issues that need to be rallied around, the CMA launched a second public mobilization platform called CMA Health Advocates. This platform is designed to bring Canadians together around a shared goal: improving health care. It enables them to engage and connect with their local politicians to share their health and health care stories. During the 2019 federal election, the CMA Health Advocates platform will be tracking each party's platform promises and creating opportunities for the public and its members to show their support.
Choosing Wisely Canada.
Choosing Wisely Canada was launched by Dr. Wendy Levinson in 2014 in partnership with the CMA to help physicians and patients reduce unnecessary tests, treatments and procedures, and ensure high-quality care. Central to the campaign are lists developed by more than 45 specialty societies to encourage critical thinking that will avoid unnecessary and potentially harmful tests and procedures. The federal government's Advisory Panel on Healthcare Innovation urged governments in all jurisdictions to support the initiative.
Drugs: Pharmacare, opioids and cannabis.
The CMA continues to advocate that Canadians should have access to medically necessary pharmaceuticals that are safe, effective, available when and where needed and reasonably priced.
The CMA is an active member of the Pan-Canadian Collaborative on Education for Improved Opioid Prescribing, which is chaired by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. The CMA's position is that "opioids" are important for managing pain, but prescribing them must be based on evidence and include careful assessment and monitoring. The CMA endorsed the collaborative's clinical guideline for opioids, initially published by CMAJ and updated in 2017 by the Michael G. DeGroote National Pain Centre.
The CMA identified potential risks of "cannabis" use and has addressed them in submissions to House of Commons standing committees. Following the introduction of the Cannabis Act, the association provided guidance to the federal government on a regulatory framework to protect children and youth.
Health and technology.
Advances in technology could bridge the physical divide between doctors and patients, thereby reducing wait times and health care costs. Technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence and robotics hold significant promise for patients and physicians, particularly for a country like Canada with its large land base and numerous remote communities.
In early 2019, the CMA launched a Virtual Care Task Force alongside the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the College of Family Physicians of Canada to explore the barriers affecting the effective implementation of virtual care in the Canadian health system. Recommendations are expected in early 2020.
Physician health and wellness.
Physician health and wellness has become a key priority of the CMA. In 2018, a national snapshot report released by the CMA showed that while physicians report high resiliency, they also experience high levels of burnout and depression, particularly residents and women.
To help respond to this growing issue, the CMA has implemented a physician health and wellness department led by Dr. Caroline Gérin-Lajoie. An environmental scan is underway to further identify key issues and possible solutions.
Corporate structure.
The size of the elected board of directors is transitioning to 19. The board includes physician, resident and student representatives. It is the executive authority of the CMA, meets four times a year and is responsible for policy direction.
In 2018, the association launched the CMA Patient Voice, a group of 12 individuals that provide a patient's perspective to the CMA's work.
A health summit attended by a wide spectrum of medical and health professionals as well as patient representatives is held annually to disseminate new research, information and innovations, and to debate issues facing the medical community and users of medical services.
A public annual general meeting is held to review financial statements and other CMA business matters. As well, the association holds an annual General Council meeting of its members to discuss policy matters.
Companies.
The CMA's subsidiary company Joule was created on Sept. 1, 2014. It delivers continuing education to doctors, resources for accessing medical information online, clinical information resources and summaries of the latest clinical evidence. CMAJ is published by Joule. Joule's grant program funds CMA member innovations that hold promise in the advancement of health care.
The CMA Foundation was launched in 2017 to support charities furthering health care.
CMA Awards.
Each year the CMA invites nominations for the CMA Awards. The awards are presented at the annual meeting in August:

Jean-Antoine Villemin

Jean-Antoine Villemin (January 28, 1827 – October 6, 1892) was a French physician born in Prey, Vosges. In 1865 he demonstrated that tuberculosis was an infectious disease.
Biography.
Villemin was born in the department of Vosges, and studied medicine at the military medical school at Strasbourg, qualifying as an army doctor in 1853. Afterwards he practiced medicine at the military hospital of Val-de-Grâce in Paris. In 1874 he became a member of the French Académie Nationale de Médecine, and was its vice-president in 1891.
In 1865 Villemin proved that tuberculosis was an infectious disease by inoculating laboratory rabbits with material from infected humans and cattle. He published his results in the treatise "Études sur la Tuberculose" (Studies on Tuberculosis). Here he describes the transmission of tuberculosis from humans to rabbits, from cattle to rabbits, and from rabbits to rabbits. However, his findings were ignored by the scientific community at the time, and Villemin's contributions wouldn't be realized until years later when they were corroborated by other scientists. The Prix Leconte was posthumously awarded to Villemin (and its ₣50,000 presented to his heirs) in 1893 in recognition of his work.

Haas studied medicine at the Universities of Munich and Freiburg. He wrote his doctoral thesis while attending the institute of the famous pathologist Ludwig Aschoff.
Scientific work.
Haas performed the first human hemodialysis in the history of medicine in 1924 in the town of Giessen, Germany. The procedure lasted only 15 minutes, and hirudin served as the anticoagulant. Haas was able to develop a dialyzer consisting of U-shaped collodion tubes immersed in a dialysate bath placed in a glass cylinder. He performed several hemodialysis procedures in uremics between 1924 and 1928, and reported for the first time the clinical results obtained. In 1928, Haas introduced heparin into the dialysis procedure. Because of lack of support by the medical community, Haas was forced to discontinue his promising work.
Quotes.
"From the initial idea to the actual realization of the dialysis method, it was a very long way. I would have to say, it was the way of the Cross..." (1928)

Karl Becker (philologist)

Karl Ferdinand Becker (14 April 1775 Lieser (Mosel) – 4 September 1849 Offenbach am Main) was a German physician, educationalist, and philologist. He wrote a German grammar. His deductive approach to comparative philology was later discredited.
Biography.
He was educated at Hildesheim, and then taught there from 1794 to 1799. He then studied medicine at the University of Göttingen, became a physician at Offenbach in 1815, and was a surgeon in the army. In 1823, he opened a small private school in Offenbach.
Philological research.
His work as an instructor led him to make researches in philology, which for a time met with considerable recognition. His view was that all languages are subject to certain logical and philosophical principles, and that thus a science of comparative philology might be arrived at by a process of deduction. This method was later largely discredited by the investigations of Jakob Grimm and others, whereby comparative philology is based on principles of history and ethnology and is attained inductively.
Becker is also known for promoting the theory that there are only three grammatical relations present in language (the predicative, attributive and objective relations), a theory which is still used by contemporary linguists.
Works.
His grammars and manuals on the German language went through many editions.
