The first Action Project of the integrated Math and Science class disease. In Unit 1, we went over several kinds of procedures and treatments that go on in the emergency room, or even at home. As for the Action Project, using a surgery of our choice, we make a Prezi, which is a unique presentation creating engine/site, to create an informational presentation all about whichever procedure you chose. As you can see right down below, I thought of presenting amputations. Now a little background knowledge for amputations is that in this type of surgery, a limb is removed due to extreme damage that would actually render the person more handicapped than if the patient was without it. Cause for amputations are commonly known from war damage, but cancer treatments also include simply severing the entire tumour (or the affected part of the body) from the patient itself. Amputations have a unique history in which there were no anesthetics or pain relievers back in the day. Any amputation from pre-modern medicine times would have any source of alcohol as a cleanser (such as an intoxicating beverage), no restraints (instead, just multiple people holding down the patient), and a mere cloth to bite on due to the intense pain, plus the lack of painkillers themselves. With that, I hope you enjoy my presentation made with the power of Prezi.
