There would then be some kind of medical intervention such as medication, operations or counselling. The individual would then be re-examined by medical professionals. If their condition is cured, they would no longer need to use social care services and would no longer be helped. If they are not cured, the process would begin over again, using a different kind of medical intervention. However, this may lead to mistrust between medical professionals and the disabled individual, leaving the individual feeling abandoned, isolated and let down.

M1: Assess the biomedical and socio-medical models of health. Biomedical model: The biomedical model only focuses on the biological factors when someone is ill it doesn’t look at the social or environmental factors that could have lead to the illness. This method is dominant in the Western societies. Most health care professionals will only analyse what is and look for something that is biologically or genetically wrong with you they won't ask you anything personal about your life because they aren't interested in that, they are just interested in making you well again. According to this model, good health is where you feel no pain, and don't have a disease or defect.
In the article by Garrett, Baillie, McGeehan, and Garrett (2010), the health care professional’s obligation is to “provide the health care information and leadership to ensure that this distribution is accomplished in ways that allow the goals of health care to be achieved” (p. 71). Although the physician informed Ms. Selbstmord of the lifestyle changes she needed in order to improve her condition, he failed to inform her of other important treatment options. The physician decided against prescribing Ms. Selbstmord a medication for asthma because of the side effects that would result. However, the principle of double effect of nonmaleficence would suggest that improvement of her asthma by the medication would create more good than the harm of the side effects so it should have been given as an option for the patient to decide. If the health care professional would have provided Ms. Selbstmord of all of the options for treatment and their consequences, it would become Ms. Selbstmord’s responsibility if whether or not her condition improved or worsened.
The model emphasises preventing and changing the cause of an illness on a more natural way instead of relying on medication. However It takes time to look for factors affecting the illness and a prevention to stop it from reoccurring and it doesn’t approve of medication being the complete solution to an illness and that there has to be a social factor also influencing

Explain the role of expectation in the influence of drugs on behavior. People who think they have taken a drug but really haven’t may display the effects of the drug because they expect to be affected by it.
If the recent death was in a health care environment then talking to others could help you to realise that nothing more could be done for the person. If the person died because they wanted to deal with things without getting any help from professionals that could be a way to think that this was their
Doctors who lack proper training or those who have impairment problems tend to believe that their patients are honest about issues concerning prescriptions. These may include certain issues such as losing prescriptions, or early refills. This, however, only happens when the doctor fails to identify a drug abuse problem in the patient. Another ethical dilemma in the same field occurs when doctors do not disclose full patient history in the medical file of the patient. This may cause other doctors to prescribe the wrong drug thus putting the life of the patient at risk, either due to possible
All are excluded by barriers though not all have impairments. Two Ways of viewing disablement: 'Medical Model' or 'Social Model'. The 'Medical Model' of Disability The 'medical model' sees the disabled person as the problem. We are to be adapted to fit into the world as it is. If this is not possible, then we are shut away in some specialised institution or isolated at home, where only our most basic needs are met.
