HEARTBREAK
puzzle by sudokusyndication.com
As of Monday, Michigan
Medicine
is
now
offering
online healthcare for minor
illnesses such as the flu or pink
eye, allowing patients to seek
treatment from the comfort
of their homes. These eVisits,
accessible at MyUofMhealth.
org, are available to adult
patients seven days a week for
$25.
Patients are able to fill out a
questionnaire regarding their
symptoms, similar to answering
questions
at
the
doctor’s
office. The questionnaire is
then reviewed by healthcare
providers, who reference the
given patient’s health record
and respond with a prescription
or care plan within 24 hours.
Michigan Medicine patients
were already able to use an
eVisit for cold and flu-like
symptoms such as a sudden
fever, body aches, chills, red
eye, urinary problems, vaginal
irritation,
sinus
issues
and
diarrhea.
The
eVisit
program
successfully piloted last year at
some of the Michigan Medicine
Health Centers. Eighty percent
of the patients who used eVisits
during the pilot were able to get
care without ever going into the
doctor’s office.
In some cases, health care
professionals
will
ask
the
patient to come into the office
for an in-person examination
or
follow-up
visit.
Patients
who are asked to come into the
office are not charged for the
eVisit.
A main advantage of eVisits
is that they allow flexibility for
people with busy schedules, as
well as those who can’t afford
to miss work. Additionally,
online
visits
keep
patients
with contagious illnesses at
home and prevent them from
spreading viruses.
“Michigan
Medicine,
and
other health systems across
the country, are looking for
ways to be more responsive
to what patients want,”
Larry An, medical director
for the Telehealth Program
at Michigan Medicine, said
in a University press release.
“The greatest advantage is
convenience and providing
the right care to patients
with minimal disruption to
their daily lives.”
Michigan
Medicine
is
hoping to expand its online
care services in the future
by extending online care to
pediatrics, making virtual
visits available to children
within the next year or so.
Chicago-based
rapper
CupcakKe blew away records on
Jan. 26 with her performance
at Pride Night at Necto Night
Club in Ann Arbor. Despite a
building capacity of 952, 1,112
people lined up outside the club
to see her perform, more than
any event the club has ever
hosted.
Necto
has
welcomed
a
number of big-name artists
to perform in the past —
including Avicii and Zedd — but
CupcakKe, whose legal name is
Elizabeth Harris, destroyed the
previous records.
Harris has been catapulted
into nationwide popularity in
recent months, largely owing to
the overtly sexual and repetitive
lyrics
that
characterize
her music. Her first song,
“Vagina,” was released when
she was 17, and several others
— including “Deepthroat” and
“LGBT” — have gained enough
recognition for her to release
an album earlier this year. She
has also appeared at a number
of festivals and shows, even
joining pop artist Charli XCX
onstage
at
Lollapalooza
in
Chicago last year.
“I
always
try
to
stay
versatile,” Harris said in an
interview with Forbes. “So I
try to do stuff about pedophiles
because no one is talking about
that. Sex, but it’s not just sex.
Out of all my albums, there’s
probably like six or seven sex
songs. So it’s a lot of subjects I
like to touch — I want to touch
every subject as I could possibly
touch as an artist.”
Despite
this
steadfast
commitment to singing about
issues that matter (and to
touching), Harris is yet mostly
known for her decidedly
more
vulgar
work.
She
relishes the obscene, and
she stated that she cares
very little what others think
of her.
“I have three alter egos.
Number
one:
Elizabeth,
she’s a stay-at-home, humble
person.
Then
CupcakKe,
the one on stage. The wild,
sexual being. Number three
is Marilyn Monhoe. She’s
always on the internet to
make jokes, have fun. …
I’m finna say whatever the
(expletive) I want.”
By Chris Steele
At a mass meeting on language
requirements last night students
voted to establish a literary college
student union and to stage a boycott
if the faculty takes unfavorable
action on the language requirement
at its next meeting, March 3.
A call for a disruption sit in in
Dean William Hay’s office today
was approved on a first vote, but
was reconstructed and defeated at
the request of its sponsor, Radical
Caucus, because it failed to gather a
large enough vote.
The motion for the student union
was made by Daily Editor Mark
Levin. He called for a referendum
on the language requirement to be
held in the next two weeks.
In making his proposal Level
called a disruptive sit-in a “very
ineffective tactic” which would
not bring effective “pressure on
faculty members/” A disruptive sit-
in would only result in suspensions
and arrests, he said.
Several Radical Caucus members
voiced objection to the student
union proposal. Eric Chester, Grad,
said “It’s a stall.” He conceded the
disruptive sit-in might fail but the
real question was “intimidation.”
“Are we going to let the legislature
and the faculty intimidate us?” he
asked.
Parliamentary action followed
in which an unsuccessful attempt
was made to combine Levin’s
proposal with the Radical Caucus
sponsored sit-in. Levin’s proposal
was eventually passed by a vote 105
to 96.
A
short
discussion
of
the
implementation of Levin’s motion
followed the one hour debate on the
major proposals from Levin, Radical
Caucus and another student.
The
meeting
named
three
students to recommend members
of a provisional steering committee
which would organize the student
union. The three students are
Radical Caucus chairman Marty
McLaughlin, Ron Landsman, ‘70,
and Bill Bleich, ‘69.
The motion for the disruptive
sit-in was introduced by Bernard
Elbaum, ‘71, a Radical Cacaus
member. His motion called for a
sit-in in the LSA building to begin
at 1 p.m. today. Students sitting-in
would have locked all doors and
remained in the building until the
language requirement was abolish.
The Radical Caucus motion was
passed by a vote of 114 to 86, but was
later withdrawn.
McLaughlin moved to reconsider
the motion and to defeat it because
there were not enough people to
support the sit-in.
Radical Caucus had previously
pledged to reconsider the motion
if there were not 200 people in
support.
The vote following McLaughlin’s
motion
was
overwhelmingly
against the disruptive sit-in.
Debate on how to arrange
the referendum on the language
requirements failed to reach any
definite conclusion.
