My Iphone Stays On Silent

GUI AND HEALTH

Bernardo Gui (1261-1331) was a Dominican monk who from early inquisitorial got several positions in various parts of Western Europe and soon became known for his cunning and initiative in combating the heresies of the time, so as to have written a manual on inquisitorial methods that guided other famous character inquisidores.Para onlookers and friends of the "short" and "paste" recommend short article from Wikipedia which, without being too long is pretty self explanatory. As a literary curiosity, I remember this historical character in the book by Umberto Eco "The Name of the Rose" as well as in the movie of the same name.



In his Inquisitor's Manual "warns Bernard that you can not wear a Met only infallible period to defeat the Evil One, and to do that is to give advantage to the forces Evil, which neutralize the strategies and tricks of the inquisitor. That said, the inquisitor must benefit both the answers of the defendants, as the testimony of the accusers, but also and especially of his own experience.



Gui's work focuses mainly on five types unmask sects: the first of them would be the "Manichean" (founded in the area of \u200b\u200bpresent-day Iran in the late third century AD by the Persian sage Mani) which had a markedly dualistic belief in the spirit of man which belongs to God and the devil body establishing a constant struggle between them and the ultimate quest of victory the former over the latter. The second Gui-appointed heresy is that of "Waldenses" (founded in the late twelfth century AD in Lyon by a wealthy merchant named Peter Waldo) who practiced a primitive Christianity based on the sale of their property and starting a life of poverty and fellowship with the gospel. The third heretical group would be "pseudoapóstoles" or "Beghards" (a group formed around 1215 AD in Germany with a female version would be called "Beguine") who wore an austere life, living simply, communally reciting the office and praying regularly, being the pillars of piety, poverty and purity. The group would quarter that of the Jewish converts as Gui "return to the vomit of Judaism." The fifth and final set in the Manual of Bernard Gui are all the myriad of sorcerers, seers and summoners of demons "whose practices hurt much stinking purity of faith. "



I would add that each of these five groups go far, especially the first three, which met the common characteristics of poverty and early Christian life but differed in their dogma and rituals. Add that there were many more sects in those medieval centuries (and before and after) and they should be the future Protestant Reformation in all its variants.


To study these issues related to Christianity, the Church and the Middle Ages strongly recommend any book by two great English historians who specialize in these issues such as Theophanes Egido and Emilio Mitre Fernández.

INQUISITION IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR

Due to the large size of the armies mobilized during the conflict and the heavy casualties that occurred, the military medical services had to face unprecedented challenges. Had to evacuate the wounded from the front lines at night or using the techniques of "fire barrier" (groups of porters risky to go out looking injured in a fire protection).



medical officers rendered first aid in makeshift shelters at the same time, they were inventing new drainage systems increasingly specialized into more remote areas of the fronts.

On the Western Front, motorized ambulances were breaking through among those drawn by horses, moreover, these ambulances were grouped into military ambulance corps.

The British, on the other hand created the so-called clinics, consisting of mobile hospitals, located a few kilometers from the front, outside the range of artillery light (not the heaviest) and in which the surgical teams were relieved in some operating rooms that could accommodate up to 4 or 5 simultaneous operations. They cared so much to those who needed immediate surgery and those who were too ill to move.

military medicine when he discovered he had a new world of wounds, infections and diseases hitherto unknown or poorly documented. Beyond the daily amputations and extraction of projectiles and / or shrapnel, surgeons found that the grenades tore the bone and muscle injuries Leaving the air impossible to close, so the French countryside, replete microscopic organisms, caused gas gangrene and tetanus.

surgeons also found new situations such as surgical shock, the "trench foot" (putrefaction of the foot as a result of a continuous moisture and cold), eye irritation and / or severe throat by war gases, burns, chronic skin by Not to mention the "war neurosis" that produced attacks of hysteria in soldiers, disorientation, paralysis, disobeying orders etc ...

lice was rampant, was also found that carriers of typhoid that became known for a while "trench fever."

But the necessities of war and the experience of it stimulated great strides in medicine. For example, it was discovered the importance of continuously irrigated the wounds, blood transfusions were performed in the middle of the battle in some cases with stored blood and with no immediate donor, dispensaries were set up equipment to locate shrapnel RX bullets etc ...

This leads to a controversial relexión: how advanced the science (not just health) because of the great events of the war of our humanity? Compensates us have progressed through similar paths?. The Doctors Nazi death camps of the Third Reich we respond "a lot" and "yes" to those questions. But their responses are to a close and controversial post.
