Response to "Fat and Blood" by Dr. Weir Mitchell by Betsy Durning https://padlet.com/betsydurning/ob9szh2l5djpjc5n What did you find most intersting in the passage(s)? How do you think women would have reacted to such measures? en-us 2021-02-21 17:00:08 UTC 2021-02-22 15:30:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/betsydurning/ob9szh2l5djpjc5n/wish/1226983268 It goes against everything the narrator wants or believes she should do. The way that women are told what not to do rather than what they should be doing is also interesting... emphasizing the negatives not the positives.]]> 2021-02-22 15:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/ob9szh2l5djpjc5n/wish/1226983268 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/ob9szh2l5djpjc5n/wish/1226983889 It seems like it would be ineffective, and it makes sense why the narrator was afraid of going to such a place, where the treatment was even harsher than that of her husband.]]> 2021-02-22 15:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/ob9szh2l5djpjc5n/wish/1226983889 It matches what the woman in the story is advised to do, so it makes sense that the real life inspiration is actually doing the same thing https://padlet.com/betsydurning/ob9szh2l5djpjc5n/wish/1226984956 2021-02-22 15:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/ob9szh2l5djpjc5n/wish/1226984956 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/ob9szh2l5djpjc5n/wish/1226986039 it seems pretty useless though it follows what the story says]]> 2021-02-22 15:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/ob9szh2l5djpjc5n/wish/1226986039 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/ob9szh2l5djpjc5n/wish/1226987190 Similar to what the story said, and seems too restrictive to be effective (would probably make things worse)]]> 2021-02-22 15:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/ob9szh2l5djpjc5n/wish/1226987190 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/ob9szh2l5djpjc5n/wish/1226987559 It would probably exacerbate a woman's already bad mental condition.
