Family of Woodstock, Inc. Paper Michael Malone BSHS/355 3/5/2014 PAMELA HARRIS Family of Woodstock, Inc. Paper “Since 1970, FAMILY has been an anchor for area residents- a place where people are respectful and caring, and where the search for solutions is creative and tireless. FAMILY's shelters, emergency food pantries, court advocates, counseling and case management services, hotlines, and child care supports all work together to help people achieve the changes they seek (Family Of Woodstock, 2009-2015)”. Seeking change is something I feel everybody even wealthy people want or are looking for but when it comes to those who are not as fortunate change is all they have to look forward to and this company provides that. This is why
Discuss the conflict that is occurring at General Hospital. General Hospital is at a pivotal point where they have to adapt and meet the challenges that come with operating an older hospital or face loss of accreditation. Mike Hammer, CEO, has tried cost control but has been met with resistance, especially from Director of Medicine Dr. Mark Williams. This has led to a conflict between Hammer who feels he needs to cut costs to save the hospital and the physicians who say “they are just practicing good medicine” (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011, p. 546). Mike Hammer believe that “physicians didn’t understand, nor were they interested in, the role of costs in determining the viability of hospitals” (p. 546).
This makes breathing very difficult (COPD). His prognosis isn’t good as COPD is the leading cause of death and illness worldwide and the damage done to the lungs can’t be reversed (COPD). The treatment option given to the patient and his family is a tracheotomy after attempting to wean him from the ventilator. However there hasn’t been a second opinion and this might be helpful as another doctor might have different method of weaning. I found that there are four basic techniques The best weaning procedure has not yet been established.
As such, I feel that Ford and Firestone handled stakeholder issues poorly, and although certain measures were implemented after the incident, I feel that they were insufficient, tardy and unhelpful in regaining customer loyalty. As a result, outcomes of the crisis were less than desirable. From this, we are able to gain many valuable lessons so that these mistakes would not have been made in vain. The largest shortcoming of how Ford and Firestone handled the situation was that they refused to accept responsibility for the product failure. Instead, they shifted the blame to each other, citing the wrong tyre pressure as a reason.
America Falling Apart: National Identity & Consumerism In Anthony Burgess’ Is America Falling Apart, Burgess states that America is not where it should be. Our nation for all we portray it to be has many issues, which cannot be easily solved, as they are part of the social fabric that holds us together. If we were to go out and proclaim about the ills that senseless consumerism brings us to our society we would be laughed upon, as we don’t see them as issues, but part of our greater American identity. Americans view consumerism as part of our identity, but our fascination on it does not allow us to appreciate the greater things in life, which play a much more important role in who we are. The United States of America comprises only 4% of the world’s population yet with our few numbers we manage to use around 25% of the world’s oil.
“Given the way the U.S. healthcare system is getting increasingly unjust and even savage, I don't think this system could be trusted to implement such a system equitably, or confine it to people who are immediately terminally ill"(Mohler). Even if legislation could protect those with disabilities from the threat of involuntary elimination, how long will it be before the disabled, the elderly, and others requiring extra care begin to wonder if their loved ones would not be better off with them
There has been many debates to weather doctors should be able to refuse lazy/old patients expensive treatments as they are not beating their habits, so why should doctors have to give these patients the treatment when they are not making the effort to get their body in a fitter, healthier state, and there is people out there desperate for surgery who have made the effort to be in shape and they can’t get the surgery because it is too expensive,but on the otherwise, why should these people have to suffer without help? In hospitals all over the world there are smokers, overweight people and alcoholics receiving the same treatment as other patients that are healthier and choose not to harm their bodies by using harmful substances, which I personally think is an absolute disgrace. As these people who abuse their bodies have the same “right” to these expensive treatments even though some of the substances they choose to eat, drink or inhale cause damage, disease and infections within the human body, and not enough is been done about it. People that work for the telegraph would agree as on their website it states "Smokers, heavy drinkers, the obese and the elderly should be barred from receiving some operations, according to doctors, with most saying the health service cannot afford to provide free care to everyone." - this information can be found on -http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1576704/Dont-treat-the-old-and-unhealthy-say-doctors.html Some doctors say old people may not be healthy enough to survive operations and could be life threatening and doctors are allowed to discriminate old people if they think they really need the operations to cure/help them, however the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) says "doctors must not discriminate against patients who have brought their illnesses upon themselves.
The Dangers of Assisted Suicide “Advocates of physician assisted suicide try to convey the impression that in terminally ill patients the wish to die is totally different from suicidal intent in those without terminal illness” (Herbert and Klerman 118.) Physician assisted suicide is when a physician assists their patient in dying upon their request. In some states there are laws giving limitations to who can request such a “procedure,“ but these laws are not enough to prevent the dangers of assisted suicide. Assisted suicide should be illegal in all fifty states because it is immoral, dangerous to society, and can lead to the deaths of millions of depressed people. “Critics of physician assisted suicide believe that doctors like Jack Kevorkian are doing nothing less than playing God“ (Gay 47.)
In theory this should have been possibly as most members were committed to peace and did not want another war as the likes of the Great War. However, as we move on to the weaknesses in the structure, we come to realise that it just wasn’t good enough. Even though it was generally a good thing for an assembly to be unanimous, decisions were extremely difficult to make because of this. Another downfall of decision making was that the assembly only met once a year. A big problem was the slightly biased approach of having a permanent ‘veto’ for council members.
Another Major flaw was that “the country, whose president, Woodrow Wilson, had dreamt up the idea of the League - America -, refused to join it.” The league’s most powerful militaries Britain and France not only suffered casualties, but also economically as they were greatly in debt to the United States. Because of this neither country was enthusiastic to get involved in disputes that did not affect Western Europe. Therefore the League had no military might and could only enforce economic sanctions in hope that they worked against aggressive nations. All these flaws point to signs that the League of Nations was a failure. However, even though there were a few setbacks, the league was a success in many ways.
