Embarassing Bodies - Cool youtube channel/show about medical cases and treatments


When I found this channel I literally spent the whole night watching almost all of the episodes. This is very useful to help you identify some diseases and the treatment options there are. This particular episode is about Dupuytren's Contracture. Take a look!



Update! August 19, 2017
Hey guys so apparently they took down the embarasing bodies channel on youtube but you can definitely put it in the search engine and some videos will come up!
Enjoy!

Important Phone Numbers During a Storm or Natural Disaster in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

     Today was a little rough. If you didn't see in the news, Tropical Storm Chantal came through our country and classes got canceled in all the major universities besides INTEC. When you guys get accepted and live here, you should have these numbers in handy just in case you live alone or for reference. You never know. Luckily, it calmed down within a day and classes will resume tomorrow.


Cuerpo de Bomberos - Fire Department
Policia Nacional - Police Department
COE "Centro de Operaciones de Emergencias" - Center of Emergency Operations
Defensa Civil Dominicana - Dominican Civil Defense
Cruz Roja Dominicana - Dominican Red Cross

How could we forget UNIBE:
They always inform us through here if school is canceled for any reason.
