A Self-Portrait of a Leader



My thoughts on drawing my self-portrait in regards to leadership have changed a little bit since starting OT school. Below I have posted the most recent drawing on the left and the one completed at the beginning of OT school on the right. There are many things that have remained the same; however, there were differences in my 2 drawings. The first major difference is I believe it is important to have a mix of creativity and organization in leadership, and before I thought organization was most important. Additionally, this time I added earrings to symbolize seeing myself as a leader, but I believe this often depends on the situation and if a strong leader is not already present in the group/setting.

Parkinson's and Deep Brain Stimulation

   I watched a TED Talk called “Parkinson’s, depression and the switch that might turn them off” by neurosurgeon Andres Lozano. I chose to watched this because I was unfamiliar with deep brain stimulation until we discussed it in class. I wanted to further my knowledge on this subject and the diagnoses that it can be effectively used. Neurosurgery has been around for 7000 years. Originally, people with psychiatric and neurological problems were thought to be possessed by evil spirits. In order to release the spirit, they thought they needed to cut a hole in the skull.    As we have learned, different parts of the brain control different functions. If there is a dysfunction in a specific area of the brain, there are specific functions that will be impaired. Dr. Lozano became interested in this and how deep brain stimulation can help people with various disorders. Deep brain stimulation is achieved by cutting a hole in the skull to reach an area of the brain with an electrode to tur
