Médicos Venezolanos en Florida

Somos una familia venezolana que tuvimos que emigrar en el año 2009, llegamos a los Estados Unidos y entre muchas de las cosas que tuvimos que adaptarnos fue a la medicina de este país, el trato de los médicos no es ni la sombra de lo que estábamos acostumbrados en Venezuela, donde en la mayoría de los casos hasta se generaba una amistad casi familiar con tus médicos.

Con el paso de los años hemos ido consiguiendo a muchos médicos venezolanos que también han tenido que emigrar y muchos de ellos están ejerciendo en Florida.

Me tome un tiempo para completar una lista que está circulando por WhatsApp con algunos de los Médicos Venezolanos en Florida.

Por favor les pido que coloquen en los comentarios si consiguen algún error, o si saben de algún médico que no está en la lista y quisieran agregarlo a la lista o agregar datos que falten.

Compartan con sus familiares y amigos en Florida, pudiera ser de utilidad para alguien...

 

Maui the Vizsla

Maui-the-Vizsla-20210303-0001.jpg

Maui

Last week we had a visitor in our home for a few days, Maui, my brother in Law’s Vizsla. It was an amazing experience, the kids loved to have him for a few days, we walked, jog, played, swim in the pool, even had a little photoshoot with Maui. I used to have German Short Haired back in Venezuela, and I just learn how I miss having a dog.

“The Vizsla is easily recognized by his sleek golden-rust coat. They can stand between 21 to 24 inches at the shoulder and are the picture of a lean, light-footed hunter’s companion. The long, silky ears frame a facial expression that is sensitive and loving around the house and intense when at work. As a hunter expected to work closely with humans, Vizslas form a tight bond with their owners and hate to be left alone.

Athletes of many talents, Vizslas excel at various sports and activities. They are eager and graceful trotters of great stamina, making them ideal jogging or biking companions. An expert on the breed tells us, “If you don’t have the time to encourage this breed’s full use of its brain, you’re wasting a good dog.” (AKC)


Boots And Wraps: When Are They Needed?

Boots And Wraps: When Are They Needed?

As horse owners, we are constantly looking for ways to keep our horses healthy and happy. One thing that many individuals may be a little confused about is the need for protective boots and wraps on the legs. Continue reading for a breakdown of popular protective legwear and footwear methods.

 

Splint Boots

Splint boots are a popular and cost effective method of leg protection. There are multiple different brands and types of splint boots that serve different purposes, but generally speaking, splint boots are an excellent way to prevent the horse from accidentally injuring them during a ride. Some horses have issues with cross-stepping and injuring one leg with another, while others may tend to clip a rail or two while jumping.

 

Polo Wraps

Polo Wraps

Polo Wraps

Polo wraps serve a very similar purpose to splint boots, though they should not be applied unless the individual is confident in their wrapping ability. Polo wraps can be extremely beneficial, but when applied incorrectly, they can cut off circulation to the leg and cause damage. They are best used during a ride or during transport, as the wrap has the potential to become unwrapped if the horse steps on them.

 

Bell Boots

Bell boots are an excellent option for horses who tend to clip their front hooves, which can cause damage to the shoe or hoof. They are most useful for horses that are stalled for long periods of time, or while shipping.

 

While these are just a few methods of protecting the legs, these are the most popular and most successful. Every horse’s situation is unique, so take a look at your horse’s situation to determine which method would be best to ensure that their legs are as protected as possible in order to prevent injury or lameness.

How To Cope With Soreness And Stiffness Caused By Riding

How To Cope With Soreness And Stiffness Caused By Riding

How To Cope With Soreness And Stiffness Caused By Riding

 

It’s certainly no secret that riding is an extremely physically demanding sport. Sometimes, we walk away from a ride feeling great. Other times, we walk away feeling pretty sore or stiff. Continue reading for some tips for coping with soreness and stiffness caused by riding.

 

Stretching

Like with any other sport, stretching before and after a ride can cause a night and day difference in the way your body handles a good workout. Take a few moments before and after each ride to do some good stretching to help your muscles relieve tension and aid in the recovery from the workout. You’d be surprised what a massive difference just a few minutes of stretching can make!

 

 Stay Hydrated

Staying hydrated helps decrease inflammation in the body. We all know that a good ride, especially in the summer, is more than enough to break a sweat. To compensate for the fluids you lose in sweat, make sure that you stay hydrated. Bring a large refillable water bottle with you to the barn, and make it a goal to finish at least one bottle before the time you leave.

 

Don’t Push Yourself

It’s good to feel the burn, but sometimes your body may be telling you to slow down. Pace yourself; when you expect to be doing more riding than usual, or if you suspect that your ride will be a little more physically challenging than usual, be sure to do some extra stretching before and after, and take it easy for the next couple rides, if possible.

 

Riding can be an excellent form of exercise, and there is no doubt that it keeps us and our muscles in great shape. Use the tips you learned here to cope with soreness from riding so you can continue getting right back in the saddle!

How To Take Your Horse’s Vitals

How To Take Your Horse’s Vitals

 

If you are a horse owner, knowing how to recognize and take your horse’s vitals could mean a world of difference in the case of injury or illness. Continue reading for more information on how to take your horse’s vitals, so you will be better-prepared to help your horse in the case of emergency.

Temperature

Normal body temperature for horses ranges from 99-101 degrees Fahrenheit. Just like with humans, taking a horse’s temperature in an excellent first indicator of the status of the horse’s health. When taking your horse’s temperature, you have two options; a glass rectal thermometer, or a digital rectal thermometer. A digital thermometer is convenient in that it takes no more than 60 seconds to produce a reading, but it may need to be held while taking the temperature. A glass thermometer will not need to be held, but usually takes 2 to 3 minutes to produce a reading.

Pulse

The normal resting pulse rate for adult horses is 30 to 40 beats per minute. The pulse rate increases due to exercise, pain, or stress. Below are two different places and ways to take your horse’s pulse:

●      Maxillary artery: Place your fingers on the inside edge of the jaw. Count the beats for 30 seconds

●      Radial artery: Place your hands around the back of the knee. Locate the beat and count for 30 seconds.

 

After counting for 30 seconds, double your count to find the beats per minute (bpm).

 

Capillary Refill Time (CRT)

An easy way to test your horse’s capillary refill time is to press your finger against the gums for about 2 seconds. Upon release of the pressure against the gums with your finger, the gums should change from white to pink within 2 seconds. This is your horse’s capillary refill. If the refill takes longer than 3 seconds, it may be an indicator of shock.

Knowing how to take your horse’s vitals can help you better understand your horse’s body, which will allow you to help them manage their health even further. Practice taking your horse’s vitals to get in the habit of regularly monitor your horse’s health.

Yoga Poses To Improve Equestrian Balance & Core Strength

 

As equestrians, we dedicate a considerable amount of time to working to perfect our riding skills. When it’s not possible to get in the saddle, it is still important to find ways to work on improving balance and core strength: two key elements in horseback riding, no matter the discipline. Continue reading for equestrian yoga poses that are targeted to help you work on your balance and core strength.

Poses

To work on improving your balance when not in the saddle, yoga can prove to be extremely beneficial. Yoga has been proven to improve not only balance, but focus, as well. These are two important aspects of horseback riding, and the more practice you can get, the better. Below is a brief list of equestrian yoga poses that can help equestrians fine-tune their balance and core strength.

 

●      Tree: Bring your right foot up and place the sole against your inner left thigh. Bring your pelvis directly centered over your left foot. Press your hands together. Hold the pose for one minute, then reverse the pose with your other foot.

●      Upward Facing Dog: Lay on your mat on your stomach. Point your toes and raise yourself up off the floor with your arms, avoiding letting your thighs touch the floor. Drop your hips towards the floor while bringing chest towards the ceiling. The tips of your feet and palms of your hands should be the only things touching the mat.

●     Chair: Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Extend your arms in front of you and lower yourself to mimic a sitting position. Hold the position as deeply as you can for a few minutes while breathing deeply.

●      Plank: Lay on your mat on your stomach. Raise yourself up with your arms. Tuck your toes beneath you and bring your head and body to form one straight line. Gaze between your hands and breathe deeply for a minute or two.

The list above features just a few yoga poses that have the potential to drastically improve your balance and core strength when riding. There are countless positions that can help you hone your riding skills. Develop a series of poses to help you stay in the best possible shape and improve your riding out of the saddle!

Obras de ocho artistas venezolanos

conviven en una exposición en Miami

Una exposición que reúne las propuestas creativas de ocho artistas venezolanos, será inaugurada bajo el título “Paseando por Miami” el próximo jueves 7 de junio a las 6 pm en el Aloft Miami Brickell Hotel, donde permanecerá en exhibición hasta la primera semana de septiembre de este año 2018.

Presentada por Aloft Miami Brickell Hotel en su afán de promover el quehacer artístico y cultural dentro de sus espacios, la muestra cuenta con el apoyo de HES Group e incluye el trabajo de creadores como Marianella Arocha, Gabriela Benatar, Enrique Urdaneta, Rodrigo Picón, Rómulo Avendaño, Christopher Pacillo, Sylvia Degwitz y Oriana Montenegro, quienes muestran su visión acerca de una  de las ciudades más turísticas de los Estados Unidos, en un espacio donde dialogan la ilustración, la fotografía y la pintura.

Marianella Arocha, expone una ilustración en gran formato elaborada en acrílico a partir del uso de las nuevas tecnologías, donde fusiona ingenuidad y alegría en una variada gama de colores; mientras que la también ilustradora Gabriela Benatar, presenta un conjunto de piezas donde recrea playas paradisíacas y coloridas que reflejan su amor por la naturaleza y los deportes extremos.

Utilizando la fotografía como medio de expresión, Enrique Urdaneta muestra la evolución de un amanecer en Florida con una obra compuesta por cinco imágenes; Rómulo Avendaño exhibe tres piezas en las que se puede ver su percepción del mundo a través de una mirada mágica; y Rodrigo Picón trata de demostrar su visión de Miami a través del retrato y de su mirada documental.

Por su parte, el artista plástico Cristopher Pacillo participa en la muestra con una propuesta donde traslada el paisaje al arte geométrico; la creadora Sylvia Degwitz  presenta una obra que refleja su íntima relación con la naturaleza, en la que predominan los tonos de la tierra y los vibrantes colores del mar; y Orianna Montenegro expone seis piezas enfocadas en una mezcla entre el mar y el tiempo, a través de lo que es intangible y no puede ser capturado por el intelecto, sino por los sentidos.

La exposición “Paseando por Miami” se estará presentando desde el 7 de junio hasta la primera semana de septiembre de 2018, en el Aloft Miami Brickell Hotel, ubicado en 1001 SW 2nd Ave, Miami. La entrada es libre.

Tampa Bay Sunset

While I was in Tampa for a day, I was looking forward to going to Pier 60 in Clearwater to photograph the sunset, but I got stuck in the rush hour and I had to change plans rapidly. Took a look at my phone and search for the closest interesting place with water view. Cypress Point Park was the lucky one. Parked the car and went to the "beach" and waited for the sun to come down. The colors of that sunset were unbelievable. 

Worldwide PhotoWalk 2017 - Delray Beach

I am always trying to get out of my comfort zone. Street photography for me is very challenging, approaching a complete stranger to get a portrait is not my forte. Before going shooting, I propose myself a few goals, one of them is always to approach people and interact with them with the final objective of getting a portrait, always chicken out and fail. Instead, I end up photographing curiosities, try to capture moments, buildings and landmarks of the place.

This time I decided to go out with the Kelby Worldwide Photowalk in Delray Beach, Florida, there was 1000 photo walks around the world the same day in different cities. Here is the link to their website if you want to collaborate with their cause, http://worldwidephotowalk.com/

Delray Beach is the closest city to my home and happens to be a very interesting town. Atlantic Avenue is very cool and full of amazing places to go shop, entertain and eat.

It was different and very fun, met other photographers and found out that many store owners in Atlantic Avenue are super open to collaborating!

Next time I will still try to achieve my main goal, get to ask every person in the street to get his portrait; I hope next time I succeed!

Lucca - Italia

Lucca es una ciudad en la region Toscana Italiana que está totalmente rodeada y protegida por un impresionante muro de la época del Renascentismo. Sus calles internas son de piedra.

El Foro de San Michelle y la piazza dell' Anfiteatro son visitas obligadas.

No dejen de visitar algún restaurante, abasto y mercado donde ofrecen ingredientes típicos de la region donde podrán conseguir trufas frescas, fiambres y quesos entre otras. 

Es muy popular andar en bicicletas, algunos son tan diestros que van con las compras del día, algún miembro de la familia y hablando por celular mientras manejan sus bicicletas, todas las que pude ver eran tipo antiguas.

Viareggio - Italia

Viareggio es un pueblo de la Toscana Italiana, ubicado en la costa occidental. Abundan las astilleros y fábricas de yates y veleros famosos, como Benetti, Azimut, Pierini Navi y otros.

Impresionan las grúas que utilizan para mover las embarcaciones, en una de las fotos pueden ver la comparación con un montacargas.

En la entrada al puerto verán una virgen que bendice a todos lo que zarpan de allí.

En esta zona de Italia es muy común transportarse en bicicleta.

Madrid - Decoracción - Barrio las Letras

En el Barrio de las letras en Madrid se llevó a cabo Decoracción 2017. Un evento anual organizado por la revista Nuevo Estilo. Donde grandes decoradores de la nación se destacan interviniendo vitrinas, balcones y calles.

Tuvimos la suerte de ser invitados al coctel que brindó el gran Pascua Ortega en su estudio de interiorismo, quien formó parte de este evento de Decoracción.  

Las tiendas locales toman las calles, sacan sus antiguedades y hacen un mercadillo con elementos de decoración que van desde lo mas antiguo hasta lo contemporáneo. Sin duda un evento muy colorido.

Madrid - Parque el Retiro - Puerta de Alcala

El parque del buen Retiro es un descanso dentro de la agitada ciudad de Madrid en España. Tiene 125 hectáreas de areas verdes, con jardines, muchos árboles entre los cuales hay algunos de los mas antiguos de Madrid, estanques con barquitos para remar y otras atracciones.

Entramos por el lado de la puerta de Alcalá en la plaza de la independencia, un monumento espectacular construido en granito en 1778. Un lugar muy popular entre otras cosas para hacerse algunas fotos los recién casados.

Por supuesto que mi afición por los caballos no la pude dejar por fuera.

Turistas y locales visitan este parque para hacer ejercicio, meditar, descansar, distraerse y hasta para ver conciertos y obras de teatro. Tuvimos la suerte de escuchar un concierto de música clásica, una sorpresa conseguir gente tan talentosa ofreciendo este tipo de espectáculos al aire libre.

Luego cole un par de fotos del edificio del Correo y la plaza Cibeles que están muy cerca del parque. 

 

She's Mercedes - Jessica Mendoza
