Dealing with suffering and death is an important part of a physician’s
work, Engelhard! said.
“There’s no way people can escape from suffering,” Engelhardt said.
“You’ll become geographers of what it is to suffer the human condition.”
Engelhardt concluded by saying just how unique the medical
profession is.
“Medicine is one of the three learned professions along with law and
theology,” Engelhardt said. “No other enterprise sees humans so naked,
literally, in all their living, suffering and dying.”
HOUSTON (AP) — Recovery crews on Mon
day began removing containers filled with haz
ardous materials from a 230-foot freighter that sank
while being loaded in the Houston Ship Channel.
No chemicals have escaped and no one was in
jured when the Floreana went down Saturday
night after docking to take on oilfield chemicals
bound for Ecuador, Coast Guard officials said.
"Nothing has leaked and none of the debris from
the sinking has ventured out past the area around
the terminal," Coast Guard Lt.j.g. Dennis Miller said.
Twenty-four containers were on the ship's deck
when it went down, but only two held hazardous
chemicals. Miller said. Other hazardous materials
were stored below deck. The materials included
sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda, sul
furic acid and methanol.
Coast Guard divers have inspected the contain
ers and said none was leaking.
On Sunday, only some fuel oil was visible above
the sunken ship. Containment booms
