Ha all

This is the entrance of the rebuild AMMC, on the picture you see a photo of Dr Ann who began AMMC. Although she is no longer active involved in AMMC, AMMC considered it fitting if her photo would be one of the first things you see when entering AMMC.

 This AMMC hospital is smaller as the old one, so everything inside it is some what smaller, but not less functional, picture below here is one of the offices. 

For training purposes, the emergency, radiology, surgery and recovery are located within glass walls, this assures educators to watch every step in a simulation.

 AMMC now does not only have a hospital building, new is a Resource building, in this resource building is room for special projects, exhibitions, etc. At this moment there are 2 projects housed in the resource building:

-H1N1, AMMC still think it is necessary to monitor it.

-Breast cancer and breast awareness.

A project in the making is about domestic violence.

A third edition is a multi functional building, the top floor can be used for intern meetings and medium seize speeches, other possible use, include conferences and offices.

I almost forgot the most important things in this season, the Christmas trees, yes the have decoration and lights and send all visitors warm season greetings!!! Someone even placed gifts under the tree with a message no peaking, wich is very bad for me since I am incredibly curious .

Lately no real activity on this blog, after seeing the opening picture, you understand why. AMMC will get a new building, new on the SIM is buildings from Sprott Shaw college. Sprott Shaw is a RL Canadian college and is so kind to have supported the SIM, that  AMMC shares with them. 

During this reconstruction phase, it is no wonder activities decline a bit, but AMMC is not without ambitious plans. Beside the teaching of medical students, the plan is to have a, once a month, consultation time, each month with a different specialism. These consultation times are for RL questions from the SL audience, the plan is to have these consultations more or less in line with US timezones, for breast (cancer) awareness monthly consultations are planned too. 

The intern meetings; Last month we had a great meeting on Oncology, the October meeting has moved to November 7 at 11 AM SL time, this intern meeting will be held in the castle of one of our board members.

The topic of this intern meeting novel H1N1, hope to meet you all, intern nurse physician board member, member or reader of this blog entry. 

greetings AMMC

Group Notice From: Paty Amiot

It’s natural to be afraid when you’re in danger. It’s natural to be upset when something bad happens to you or someone you know. But if you feel afraid and upset weeks or months later, You might have post-traumatic stress disorder. This August 1, 10 AM SLT Saturday SLT, Doctor Ren Stonecutter will talk about this important subject at the Ann Myers Medical Center.

Come and join us!!

Ha all,

In january AMMC was contacted to be present again on Relay for Life, with the specific question to adress breast cancer.  After some month’s this is the end result, a roller coaster.

When you have been diagnosed your life becomes an emotional roller coaster (i borrowed this sentence AMMC hopes that with this coaster, we created a different way to make more women and men aware of breast cancer.

greetings Vera Zhaoying

Relay for Life is now over, this virtual Relay did raise well over 270.000 US dollar, a huge succes ranking secondlife’s relay as number 2 in best raising relays!!! Is there someone still doubting that a virtual world can not have effects in the real world??

Also i do like to share with you 2 extra picture’s and one comment, the picture is part of therollercoaster AMMC designed for Relay for Life. the comment is the following:

[17:23]  have you seen memorial island, i cant stop crying
[17:25]  its a breast awareness rollorcoaster but at the end there is a place to let someone go
[17:25] a candle floats out to an island you cant get to
[17:26] it really helped me

This is the sign before you enter the memorial beach, the candle mentioned in the comment is the next picture

I think all involved in either AMMC or in Relay for Life this year are glad it is over for this year it is an awesome event to be a small part of, but it takes a lot of energy.

To show it’s support for Relay For Life in Second Life, AMMC goes purple today!
A big thank-you goes to Fidelius for taking the time to do the decorating!
What a way to show our support for those who have been touched by this illness, and other diseases that have the potential to cut lives short.
May we celebrate with the survivors, give care to the caregivers, and remember those we have lost.

Our latest addition in AMMC will be thrown in the deep end
at once, he will be giving a presentation about novel H1N1.

The objectives of this update on novel H1N1
will be to provide information
(1) on the molecular structure of the influenza A virus and how it changes,
(2) the spread of the virus,
(3) diagnosis and treatment, and
(4) potential concerns for a pandemic.

The presentation will be given using powerpoint and voice
and is intended for both the healthcare worker and the interested layperson.
Raven McCullough is, in RL, a MD/PhD trained in infectious diseases and
is a professor engaged in research at an university medical center.
This H1N1 update will be presented on Sat, May 16, at 10 AM SLT.

After the presentation there will be a short musical intermezzo, i like to keep you in suspense a bit who she is
In this time there is the possibility for a guided tour in flying seats,
around AMMC hospital. Wer strongly advice those that take this flyiing seats tour,
to remain seated in flight since emergency will be closed during this presentation

After the musical intermezzo, there is time to ask questions
to Dr Raven McCullough
Hope to see you al there greetz Vera
