| s-1101
| Um I don't enjoy bugs. |
| s-1102
| But um I will go on a good hike from now and again so just like you know where I'm coming from. |
| s-1103
| My friend Andrea is a biology major so we did stop to look at many slugs that were on the ground and I did beeline it away from the slugs. |
| s-1104
| But if you like slugs, you're in – you're in luck. |
| s-1105
| So the first couple days we were in Portland, we went hiking in Forest Park which you can get to by public transit in the city. |
| s-1106
| It's really quick and some of the trails even pop you back out into like the city, so it's – it's really super accessible. |
| s-1107
| So we did the Wildwood Trail and we also did a tour of Pittock Mansion. |
| s-1108
| Um if you don't want to do a tour of Pittock Mansion, I'd still recommend like taking the trail up there because it has a really cool like overlook of the city that you can go see. |
| s-1109
| Um I loved doing that. |
| s-1110
| So number four are the Japanese gardens and the rose gardens in Forest Park. |
| s-1111
| I actually don't know if they're like technically in Forest Park but they're right in the same area. |
| s-1112
| So the rose garden is free and open to the public and it is just huge. |
| s-1113
| It's a lot of roses as you can imagine. |
| s-1114
| Um lots of tourists but it was – it was still really fun. |
| s-1115
| You get to walk through all these gardens and different types of roses from different parts of the world and yeah it was just really cool. |
| s-1116
| Then the Japanese gardens you do have to pay for but I will say that it was definitely worth it. |
| s-1117
| If it's a clear day you can actually see Mount Hood from the Japanese gardens which was really wild, and the garden was just so pretty and quiet and serene. |
| s-1118
| There were even some people like meditating in there which was kind of funny. |
| s-1119
| I did wear my bird shirt – It's a pretty good bird shirt, I got a compliment on it – which I didn't say this earlier, but I bought this at the Audubon Society which I learned what that was. |
| s-1120
| I didn't know what that was but it's um a society for um like bird watching and bird care and um they had a shirt that said bird nerd on it so I bought it because I thought it was funny. |
| s-1121
| But I was approached by – I want to say – at least three different people who asked me if I did bird watching like very seriously. |
| s-1122
| What's up YouTube? |
| s-1123
| So we are going to do a week of me vlogging. |
| s-1124
| It's kind of an interesting week. |
| s-1125
| I bounced around here and there, so I have to kind of show you guys around and show you what it's all about, and today I'm on general nuclear medicine, so let's start the day. |
| s-1126
| So like I said, I'm on my general nuclear medicine rotation this week. |
| s-1127
| I get switched around -- moved around a few times to cover some residents who are on vacation, so I'll be at other spots later this week. |
| s-1128
| So so far this morning I've just read a few studies (it's a little slow in the morning) of general nuclear medicine because a lot of stuff takes time for the radio tracers to go into the body or the specific organ we are targeting, so we have to wait a little bit in the morning. |
| s-1129
| So I've done three lymphoscintigraphies. |
| s-1130
| For lymphoscintigraphies we basically inject technetium in skin surrounding a melanoma and after we inject we wait about 15-20 minutes, maybe up to an hour, and wait for that radio tracer to travel to the closest lymph node which we would call the sentinel lymph node. |
| s-1131
| What we do is we mark it under our cameras and then the patient will go up to the OR, have the melanoma, a wide excision of the melanoma, and then they will try to find the lymph node that we marked and take that one out as well to make sure there's no metastasis. |
| s-1132
| So I've done three of those this morning. |
| s-1133
| I will read a few more scans coming up here shortly and just trying to tie up some loose ends before I go to conference. |
| s-1134
| I'll check back in afterwards. |
| s-1135
| Ah, the sun feels so good on the face. |
| s-1136
| I'm officially done. |
| s-1137
| It is about 4:00 p.m. |
| s-1138
| We get to head home early today because we finished off the scans, and I'm gonna go home and work out because I was too lazy to do it this morning because for some reason I was tired from having a weekend off, which makes no sense. |
| s-1139
| But I'm gonna go work out, cook something for dinner and do this all over again tomorrow. |
| s-1140
| We're on a different rotation tomorrow so stay tuned to find out which one. |
| s-1141
| Alright it is day two. |
| s-1142
| It is Tuesday and today I got pulled to ultrasound. |
| s-1143
| Yes, I don't know why I got pulled on today, but I did, so probably just sit in there, read some ultrasounds and get out early. |
| s-1144
| I need to film another YouTube video. |
| s-1145
| Alright so I've been here just crushing ultrasounds, and today I've been feeling a little under the weather so I've been, like, yeah, I've been like crushing these all day today and then I'll show you what else I've been. |
| s-1146
| I picked these up when I was in Amsterdam for ... |
| s-1147
| I got sick when I was on Croatia for vacation. |
| s-1148
| I have no idea what it says, but I think they're cough drops, so if anybody knows what this says let me know. |
| s-1149
| But I'm pretty sure it's just cough drops with some vitamin C in it. |
| s-1150
| So this is what I have been doing all day is crushing ultrasounds and having Dutch cough drops. |
| s-1151
| So if anybody speaks Dutch tell me what that means. |
| s-1152
| Oh and PS, I usually try to avoid taking medicines that I can't read the name of but I had someone help me at the pharmacy in the airport. |
| s-1153
| She spoke a little bit of English and I think those are actually cough drops, so, that's the only reason I'm still eating them today. |
| s-1154
| You can tell by my voice it's a little on the sore side today so hopefully I get better because, I haven't told you guys yet, but I'm going somewhere this weekend and it's gonna be fun. |
| s-1155
| Now it's time to get back to work. |
| s-1156
| So I'm officially going home right now. |
| s-1157
| Yeah, normally I would go home and work out, especially since it's , like, a beautiful day I would probably go running. |
| s-1158
| But since I feel kind of crappy today I'm just going to go home, hang out, rest (ambulance was a little loud sorry). |
| s-1159
| So I'm probably just gonna go home and rest and I have to get my hair cut today for my big trip coming up. |
| s-1160
| But you still don't know where I'm going. |
| s-1161
| But yeah that's pretty much it, hope you guys don't mind this kind of like random vlog that I'm doing, but I just wanted to show you guys kind of loosely like how a week is and the life of a radiology resident. |
| s-1162
| So hopefully you guys find it somewhat interesting, and if you do I'll keep doing it. |
| s-1163
| So heading home now. |
| s-1164
| Athens (Greek: Αθήνα, Athína), is the capital city of Greece with a metropolitan population of 3.7 million inhabitants. |
| s-1165
| It is in many ways the birthplace of Classical Greece, and therefore of Western civilization. |
| s-1166
| Understand |
| s-1167
| Old Athens |
| s-1168
| The first pre-historic settlements was constructed in 3000 BC around the hill of Acropolis. |
| s-1169
| The legend says that the King of Athens, Theseus unified the ten tribes of early Athens into one kingdom (c. 1230 BC). |
| s-1170
| This process of synoikismos – bringing together in one home – created the largest and wealthiest state on the Greek mainland, but it also created a larger class of people excluded from political life by the nobility. |
| s-1171
| By the 7th century BC, social unrest had become widespread, and the Areopagus appointed Draco to draft a strict new law code (hence 'draconian'). |
| s-1172
| When this failed, they appointed Solon, with a mandate to create a new constitution (594). |
| s-1173
| This was the great beginning of a new social revolution, which was the result of the democracy under Clisthenes (508 BC). |
| s-1174
| During the Middle Ages, Athens experienced a decline, but re-emerged under Byzantian rule. |
| s-1175
| Athens was thriving and prosperous during the Crusades, actually benefiting from the Italian trade during this period. |
| s-1176
| However, this fruitful period was short-lived, as Greece suffered badly under the Ottoman Empire, only to recover in the 19th century as the capital of independent Greece. |
| s-1177
| Modern Olympic Games |
| s-1178
| Athens hosted the 2004 Summer Olympic Games. |
| s-1179
| While most of the sporting venues were located outside the city proper - in various locations throughout Attica - the entire urban area of Athens underwent major lasting changes that have improved the quality of life for visitors and residents alike. |
| s-1180
| Aside from the excellent transportation infrastructure that was completed in time for the 2004 Olympics (from new freeways to light rail systems), the city's historic center underwent serious renovation. |
| s-1181
| Most notable among the city's facelift projects are the Unification of Archaeological Sites - which connects the city's classical - era ruins and monuments to each other through a network of pleasant pedestrianized streets - and the restoration of the picturesque neoclassical Thissio and Pláka districts. |
| s-1182
| The ancient Olympic Games took place in Olympia from 776 BCE to 394 AD. |
| s-1183
| It is a lengthy day trip from Athens to visit Olympia, but quite interesting. |
| s-1184
| Architecture |
| s-1185
| Athens was just a small provincial village when it was chosen in the 1830s to serve as the national capital of the modern Greek State. |
| s-1186
| Although it had a prestigious past, the city's political, economic, and cultural importance had declined over the centuries, leaving behind only its classical ruins as a reminder of better times. |
| s-1187
| With the decision to move the national capital from Nafplio to Athens, architects and city planners were hired to build a new city next to the classical ruins, with grand neoclassical homes and public buildings, large city squares, green spaces, and wide avenues, making a conscious, decisive turn from the city's Ottoman past. |
| s-1188
| The city regained its importance in Greek civilization, and by 1900 had evolved into a very attractive cosmopolitan city, with abundant neoclassical architecture harking to the nation's past. |
| s-1189
| The 20th century however, marked the rapid development of Athens. |
| s-1190
| The city suffered minor damage during WWII, and suffered extensive urban planning in the decades that followed, as the nation rapidly industrialized and urbanized. |
| s-1191
| In the 1960s and 1970s, many 19th century neoclassical buildings, often small and private, were demolished to make way for office buildings, often designed by great Greek architects. |
| s-1192
| The city also expanded outward through rash development, particularly towards the west, as its population grew by absorbing job-seekers from the provinces. |
| s-1193
| With the onset of the automobile, public officials reduced the city's public transportation services without foreseeing the traffic gridlock and smog that would menace the city by the 1980s. |
| s-1194
| By the late 1980s and early 1990s, the city's reality led to a rude awakening among local and national officials and, coupled with the country's new found remarkable prosperity, large scale projects began to slowly regenerate the city and undo some of the damages of recent decades. |
| s-1195
| Over the course of the next 15 years, money was poured into new transportation infrastructure projects, the restoration of surviving neoclassical buildings, the gentrification of the city's historical center and the renovation of many former industrial areas and the city's coastline. |
| s-1196
| The restoration of charming neoclassical buildings in the city's historical center has been accompanied by the construction of attractive post-modern buildings in newer districts; both of which have begun to improve the aesthetic essence of the city. |
| s-1197
| Athens today is ever evolving, forging a brand new identity for the 21st century. |
| s-1198
| Climate |
| s-1199
| Spring and late autumn are the best times to visit Athens. |
| s-1200
| Summer can be extremely hot and dry during heatwaves, but this rarely happens. |
