Your Behavior Matters by Madeline Frank

Have you ever gone to a movie theatre and had someone put their smelly feet or shoes in your hair? Did you ask them to remove their feet? Did they? In life there is a decent way to behave and respect others and yourself. Call it honorable behavior. In a recent article in several magazines and on U-tube a Russian cellist traveling on a train in China put his feet in the hair of a Chinese women sitting in front of him. She asked him to remove his feet politely and he insulted her “in Chinese when she protested”. Someone on the train took a video and it has shown up around the world with angry reactions to this man’s disgraceful behavior. His employer the Beijing Symphony Orchestra fired him saying, “his actions were deemed to have damaged the orchestra’s reputation.” Behavior does matter as this man lost his job due to his disgraceful conduct. There were consequences for his bad behavior. This man’s negative behavior had consequences, he lost his job publically. Your behavior matters so be polite and courteous and think before you act. Will your behavior make you proud of your actions or sorry as this man was when he decided to apologize after being fired? People are accountable and responsible for their actions! What has happened to decent behavior? This is something everyone should think about and remember. If you would not like dirty feet in your hair why would you want to put them in someone else’s hair? Confucius said it best, “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.” What are the three things you should remember to do to behave responsibly? 1)Think before you act. Would you like this to be done to you? Would you be willing to read about it in the local newspaper paper the next day? Will it make you proud? 2)Would you purchase this behavior? “Let the buyer beware.” (“Caveat emptor”) 3)What one rule should you share with your family, your friends and your students? Dr. Madeline Frank’s famous saying, “If I take this action will it make me proud?” It works well in all situations. You stop and think before you do something disgraceful. Your behavior matters so remember to “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” (Matthew 7:12) Do the right thing and respect others and yourself. Your behavior does matter and does have consequences. Your behavior is a first impression of how you look to others. A first impression is permanent so think carefully before you act unwisely.

Saving New Born Babies Through Dr. Virginia Apgar’s Score by Dr. Madeline Frank

What is the most dangerous time of life? The answer to that question is birth! Recently an Argentinian newspaper reported a new born baby was pronounced dead by 5 medical professionals. The parents went to the morgue 12 hours later to take a last picture of their baby daughter. They opened the coffin and heard their baby crying. No parent should ever have this happen to their baby. This is a parent’s worst nightmare. Her parents named her “Luz Milagros” meaning “Miracle Light”. The medical staff should have followed Dr. Virginia Apgar’s 5 point Score to assess the new born baby in Argentina. Dr. Virginia Apgar knew from her research that birth is most dangerous time of life. Her Apgar Score of 1952 quickly assesses the overall health of new borne babies saving the lives of millions of new born babies each year. In 1933 Virginia Apgar became "one of Columbia University's first female M.D.'s" she specialized in the male-dominated area of medicine surgery. Dr. Apgar said, “Even women won’t go to a woman surgeon.” She decided to switch her focus to the new field of anesthesiology. In 1949 she became the first full professor of anesthesiology at Columbia. One day a medical student of Dr. Apgar asked her "about the need to evaluate newborn babies." Dr. Apgar said, "That's easy, you'd do it like this." She immediately “grabbed the nearest piece of paper, jotted down the 5 points of her Apgar Score and then rushed off to O.B Obstetrics & Gynecology to try it out." What are Dr. Virginia Apgar's 5 point Score for assessing the health of new born babies? 1) Appearance, skin color 2) Pulse, heart rate 3) Grimace, reflex 4) Activity, muscle tone 5) Respiration, breathing Dr. Apgar's name is the Pneumonic. As a physician she assisted in over 17,000 births. Dr. Virginia Apgar knew from her research that birth is most dangerous time of life. Her Apgar Score quickly assesses the overall health of new borne babies saving the lives of millions of new born babies each year. When Dr. Apgar was alerted to a problem she immediately thought of how to solve it. Dr. Apgar said, “Nobody, but nobody is going to stop breathing on me.” She also said, “Do what is right, and do it now.” Medical professionals around the world should remember to use Dr. Apgar’s Score to assess the health of their new born babies to prevent medical errors.
