Do you watch Gray’s Anatomy? House, M.D.? Scrubs? What are they really showing? How accurate are they? This class will look at medicine in popular American media including TV, movies, novels, magazines, and online. Part of the class entails watching these medical TV shows or movies while the other portion will provide students first with the knowledge of basic anatomical systems and later, with the information necessary to recognize some of the well-known diseases that are presented. We will then use this information to critique the media and assess why they present medicine this way. We will use recent media and those from a few years back.

Black Film Center events
The Black Film Center/Archive at Indiana University Bloomington will welcome four acclaimed film directors for a week of free screenings and engagement with students, faculty and the community, starting Monday (March 1).
Most events for "From the Post Colonial to the Global Postmodern? African and Caribbean Francophone Filmmakers and Scholars in Conversation" will take place March 1-5 at the center's new home in suite 044B of the Wells Library, 1320 E. Tenth St.
Filmmakers Gaston Kaboré, from Burkina Faso, Euzhan Palcy, from Martinique, Joseph Gaï Ramaka, from Senegal, and Jean-Marie Teno, from Cameroon, will screen and discuss their films in workshops throughout the week. Several of their films are being shown in Indiana for the first time.
All of the screenings, which will be from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. most days, are free and open to the public. A complete schedule is available at http://www.indiana.edu/~bfca/events/African_Filmaker_24x36.pdf.Two paid parking garages are located nearby.
The final event, a forum with all of the filmmakers and four film scholars, will take place at 3 p.m., March 5, in room A201 of the Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center, 275 N. Jordan Ave. Joining the directors are film scholars Francoise Pfaff of Howard University, Kenneth Harrow of Michigan State University, and Akin Adesokan of IU.
The week-long conversation about Francophone film will focus on a series of questions:
* How useful are the concepts postmodernism, globalization and postcoloniality to African filmmaking practices and diasporic experiences?
* Is the political engagement so fundamental to early African cinema still manifest today?
* Should we view cinematic practice and cinema cultures with a wider lens -- one that includes other forms of cultural production and consumption?
* How do theory and practice in African cinema intersect today?
"The forum will help establish our presence since relocation to a new site, and it was out of personal connections with some of the filmmakers that we thought we could organize something that highlights the global scope of our collections," said Michael T. Martin, director of the Black Film Center/Archive and a professor of African American and African Diaspora studies.
Marissa Moorman, IU assistant professor of history, added, "We decided that we wanted to put these filmmakers in conversation with film scholars to explore the terms that scholars often use -- such as globalization, postcoloniality and postmodernism -- to try and see if these filmmakers find these ideas useful or relevant to what they're doing, whether they shape the films that they're making and the world they're living in."
Eileen Julien, professor and chair of the IU Department of Comparative Literature, said she hopes that film lovers from beyond the Bloomington campus and across Indiana will come for the week's events. "There are films morning, afternoon and evening on most days, and we hope that anyone who has an interest will find time to come and see some wonderful films for free and to meet the filmmakers," she said.
More about the directors:
Kaboré directed the Centre National du Cinéma in Burkina Faso and taught at the Institut African d'Education Cinématographique before making his film, Je Reviens De Bokin (I Come From Bokin). His first feature, Wend Kuuni (1982) was the second feature film produced in Burkina Faso and has been described as a breakthrough for the way it translated African oral tradition to the screen. His subsequent work has received numerous international awards, including a French César award and the grand prize at the 15th Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO) for his 1997 film Buud Yam.
Martinican filmmaker Palcy is best known for her internationally acclaimed 1983 drama Rue cases nègres (Sugar Cane Alley). The praise for this film led her to Hollywood where she became the first black woman to direct a film for a major studio. The film, A Dry White Season was based on the novel by South African Andre Brink. Palcy's many awards include the Venice Film Festival's Silver Lion Award for Best First Work (1983), the César Award for Best New Director of a Feature Film (1984), the U.S.-based Political Film Society Award for A Dry White Season (1990), and the Silver Raven Award for Siméon at the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film (1993).
Senegalese director Ramaka's short film Ainsi soit-il (So Be It) won the Silver Lion award at the Venice Film Festival in 1997. His first feature film, Karmen Geï (2001), an adaptation of the Georges Bizet opera Carmen, set in contemporary Senegal, has been screened at Cannes, Sundance and the Los Angeles Film Festival where it won the Best Feature Award. His recent documentary, Et si Latif avait raison? (What if Latif Were Right?), on the culture of autocracy under current Senegalese president Abdoulaye Wade, was awarded Best Documentary Film at the Festival Vues D'Afriques (Montreal) in 2006.
Cameroonian Teno has lived in France since 1977 and in 1985 began working as a television editor and as a film critic for Buana Magazine. His second short film, Hommage (1987), won him the short-film award of the Festival Vues dAfriques in Montréal. His first full-length feature film, Clando, was nominated in the same year for the category "best film" at the International French-language Film Festival in Namur, Belgium. His documentaries Afrique, je te plumerai (Africa, I'll Fleece You) and Le Malentendu Colonial (The Colonial Misunderstanding) are widely taught in African Studies classrooms.
The project is supported by the IU African Studies Program, Black Film Center/Archive, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College Arts and Humanities Institute, the Office of the Provost, the Office of the Vice President for International Affairs, the IU departments of Comparative Literature and Communication and Culture, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and the Sound and Video Analysis and Instruction Laboratory in the IU Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology.

Every year almost 140,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with some form of blood cancer, including leukemia and lymphoma. For some patients, Stem Cell Transplants utilizing matched donors offer the best hope for a cure.
Lindsay's Story:
As a senior at Duke University I was expecting to face many transitions: from the classroom to the corporate office, from living on my parents’ dime to striking it out on my own, from living in the protective bubble of college to figuring out how to navigate city life. The transition from healthy young woman to bald cancer warrior, though, was a big one that I’d never anticipated.
In November 2008, I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Over the past year and a half, as an ongoing patient and survivor, I have learned to replace “Why Me?” with “What’s Next?” I have endured three different regimens of chemotherapy, laid in the exact same position every day for a month for radiation, and rehabilitated from too many surgeries to count. After each failed attempt at remission, I have felt myself grow stronger rather than weaker. However, my cancer just won’t take the hint.
My current “What’s Next” is a stem cell transplant, a process that utilizes a matched donor to revamp my entire immune system. I have been unable to beat my cancer with my body’s own resources, so I am searching for someone else’s stem cells to do the trick. In short, I need your help. With the stem cells of a matched donor, I can beat my Lymphoma, and transition from bald cancer warrior back to healthy young woman.
70% of the people who need stem cell or bone marrow transplants do not have a compatible donor in their family and must look in bone marrow registries for an unrelated donor. As more people are registered and the database grows, the chance that someone like Lindsay will find a match increases significantly. DKMS has helped match donors for over 19,000 bone marrow transplants by adding more people to the national database.
What are the basic eligibility requirements to register as a bone marrow donor?
• Be between the ages of 18 and 55
• Be in good general health
• Not be HIV positive or at risk for AIDS
• Not have severe heart disease
• Not have a history of cancer
• Not have severe asthma (daily inhalers are acceptable)
• Not have diabetes requiring insulin
• Not have hepatitis
• Not have epilepsy
• Not have chronic or severe back problems or surgery
• Not have autoimmune disorders such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis
