“When Good Doctors Go Bad:" by Julia Bolzon

“…With every surgery, there remains the element of the ‘unknown’--each body and each person being a unique case and bearing unique circumstances that make the procedure an inherently uncertain endeavor.[7] Thus, medicine is continually faced with a conflict between the need to provide novice surgeons with experience and “the imperative to give patients the best possible care.” …”

COVID-19 in the Navajo Nation Without Access to Running Water - The lasting effects of Settler Colonialism by Cathy Purvis Lively

“…Many Native Americans, lacking immunity to European-borne pathogens, succumbed to diseases.[13] Between 1781 and 1782, the smallpox mortality rate in the Native American population ranged from 50 percent to 90 percent.[14] Later, during the Spanish Flu epidemic in 1918 and 1919, Native Americans had mortality rates four times higher than those of the general population, many of whom lived in poverty.[15] During the 1860s, Navajo people were extracted and placed in captivity by the US for several years before returning to their homelands, entering into treaties with the US Government through duress and false promises.[16] Eventually, the settlers seized and established property rights from Native Americans through genocide, forced removal, and confinement on reservations supported by the US government.[17] Testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Committee Hearing on July 8, 2020, Jonathan Nez, President of the Navajo Nation, attributed the high per capita COVID-19 infection rate to the federal government’s breach of responsibility arising from treaties.[18] The government failed in its responsibility to protect tribal treaty rights, lands, assets, and resources, including healthcare and infrastructure development guarantees.[19] Today, the Navajo Nation continues to encounter broken promises and attacks on their inherent sovereignty.[20]   Over 40 percent of Navajo Nation households do not have running water in their homes and must rely on hauling water to meet their daily needs.  …”

“…During the CoMet (Carbon Dioxide and Methane Mission) campaign in June 2018 methane observations were conducted from a variety of platforms including aircraft and cars to quantify these emissions. Besides the continuous sampling of atmospheric methane concentration, numerous air samples were taken from inside and around the ventilation shafts (1–2 km distance) and aboard the <i>High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft</i> (<i>HALO</i>) and DLR Cessna Caravan aircraft, and they were analyzed in the laboratory for the isotopic composition of <span class="inline-formula">CH₄</span>.…”
