MDMA should be reviewed and rescheduled due to the fact that the initial scheduling reports were flawed, there are vast medical uses for MDMA in treating patients who have shown no improvements with other psychological treatments, and there is a very low possibility of death amongst users of unadulterated MDMA. Why must we withhold a drug that can be so very useful for the treatment of extreme mental conditions and possibly cure thousands of Americans of their
The expansion of 340B discounts, where oncology drug makers provided outpatient drugs at deep discounts to facilities that met their criteria, also faced lots of criticism since the facilities where to pass on the discounts to the patients but did not (Wang, Tao & Hamilton, n.d.). All facilities are recruiting additional physicians. With the shortage of oncologists and other specialists many cancer facilities are using non-physicians such as nurse practitioners or physicians assistants to treat patients. The patients rated their care with non-physicians at 92.5% satisfaction rate (Acheson, M.D., A., n.d.). b. Orthopedic
Her pride got the best of her, but the medicine she gave almost got the best of her patient. If she would have admitted to giving the wrong medicine, they could probably corrected the mistake with some other medicine, but who knew what the patient had already had, since their blood pressure was sky high and an allergic reaction was taking place. The only crime committed was pride, who knows if she’ll ever commit it again. Yes, we all make mistakes, but if she would have put her pride to the side and was worried any about the patient, she would have admitted to her wrong

Your brain is a very powerful tool, and brain washing is a very valuable tool. I believe that the more you think of a matter the worse you are making it. I have definitely experienced that after I had a pulmonary embolism, some of my symptoms included shortness of breathe. Many times after I thought I had another one because my breathing was becoming difficult and all I could think about was the blood clot, and there for my breathing got worse. But in the end after going to the hospital to get it re-checked everything was normal.
Many patients undergoing chemotherapy swear by the magic that is pot. However the federal government is not as enamored with the usage of this so called “miracle drug”. They have made it somewhat complicated to obtain and make use of. There are physicians on both sides of these issues, that should be a strictly medical decision decided by the care giver based on their knowledge of the individual patient and that patient’s
For instance, electroshock therapy raised many questions such as, is this a safe form of treatment. It may sound scary but electroshock therapy is safe and is still used to treat patients today. After many years of research, author Ken Kessey wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, a book that would help end the abusive treatments that happened throughout mental hospitals (ProQuest Staff) Along with the abusive treatment, many people suffering from severe mental disorders are not able to be admitted to mental institutions causing hospitals to be at maximum capacity; up to 108,000 emergency rooms are full. And of the hundreds of thousands of adults with severe mental disorders, only about forty percent received treatment (Szabo). Another treatment for mentally ill people is prescription drugs.
Jessa Thomson Professor Stillwell USem 102 CTR 4 February 1, 2011 ToT CTR 4 Summary: This chapter in Trick or Treatment describes the pros and cons of herbal medicine. Many people resort to herbal medicine to treat their different ailments. But some of the treatments cause more harm than good. For example: St. John’s Wort can treat mild to moderate depression, but for someone with severe depression or a mental illness it does no good and could even make symptoms worse. Personal Statement: I liked the tables in the book that showed whether or not the herbs/ natural medicine were shown to have a good effect on what they were supposed to.
In all the pain Dax endured he was given the minimal amounts of medications which infringed on his autonomy (4), making his treatments more painful. Beneficence is the desire to do good. In dax’s case it becomes controversial. The physicians would argue that they used minimal medication to prevent Dax from becoming an addict. They would also argue that the only way to prevent infection was using chlorinated baths and dousing a resident with the antibiotic, sulfanymde.
My eye was patched up, and the doctor said, “ Well let’s see”. As he took of that bandage, my vision was terribly blurry and my eyes were sensitive to the light, but my eye didn’t come into full focus and I told the doctor my eye site is kind of blurry. So the doctor knew
