A New Perspective of the Day: View of Manhattan From Its New Tallest Building

Workers at the construction site of the World Trade Center complex used a GoPro camera to film the historic placement of One World Trade Center’s spire last Friday, resulting in a beautiful bird’s eye-view of the Manhattan skyline from the new tallest building in the Western Hemisphere (1,776 ft).

12 years.

When I suture someone for the first time and it comes out perfect

When I suture someone for the first time and it comes out ~~perfect~~ not so perfect but the guy was hammered so it probably didn’t matter*.

*It was on his forehead. It probably mattered. Still super fucking cool.

Plate 17: Surgical Dissection of the Wrist and Hand from Surgical Anatomy by Joseph Maclise.

“The hand is typical of the mind. It is the material symbol of the immaterial spirit, It is the prime agent of the will; and it is that instrument by which the human intellect manifests its presence in creation. The human hand has a language of its own. While the tongue demonstrates the thought through the word, the hand realizes and renders visible the thought through the work.”

So far the coolest thing I’ve done in medical school. The inside of the human hand might be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

Affluent Students Have an Advantage and the Gap Is Widening | NYTimes.com

Low-income students with above-average scores on eighth grade tests have a college graduation rate of 26 percent — lower than more affluent students with worse test scores. Thirty years ago, there was a 31 percentage point difference in the share of affluent and poor students who earned a college degree. Now the gap is 45 points. The gap has also grown in college entrance rates and spending per child on tutors, sports, music and other enrichment activities. Related Article »

Confirms what we already knew, but still noteworthy. Our system does not reward the “smartest” and “most industrious” but simply the most wealthy. Even when a rich student and a poor student get the exact same test scores, the rich student is 6 times more likely to complete college than than the poor student.

And the poor student is more likely to be burdened with debt in the form of student loans, thus keeping them poor. Essentially, every time the not-rich move a step up the ladder, the wealthy saw out a rung.

Water is wet, sky is blue.

Tell me more about this “bootstraps” argument I’ve heard so much about.

One of my relatives tried the “well anyone can go to college, just work a part-time job at mcdonald’s and put yourself through night school, it’s not hard” and I was like “you. just. don’t. get. it.” (worth mentioning: said relative did NOT put themselves through night school while working part time.)

You people are stupid. Poor people don’t fail because they’re poor and have no resources or extra support throughout their entire education in addition to a possibly less-than-ideal social situation, they fail because they’re lazy and freeloaders and they’re gonna always vote for Obama because they’re the lazy 47%!
