Scientists are looking more into this characteristic, trying to understand the signals that cause a stem cell population to proliferate. The use of these stem cells taken from one embryo could virtually save multiple people carrying disease. Also, we could limit the number of embryos truly needed, having this multiplying power. The many of millions living with an incurable disease live a depressed life, knowing their disease will someday end their life. No one should live like that and those people should be considered when talking of stem cells as a form of therapy.
P4P programs are here to stay. These programs are pushed by private insurers and the Federal Government. According to,“SHAPING THE FUTURE OF PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS” (2005) it is critical to have the medical profession involved in the planning of the incentives for P4P programs isdeveloped. They will need to be more involved in the discussions with the insurers and employers about the P4P programs. P4P programs are the directions the health care industry is going and improvement to make the P4P programs work for the best outcome is critical.
They show you all the types of caskets the decorations and so forth. Then you also have to think of the cost of the obituary and the details of it and how many are needed. For this one day of the person’s funeral can be so expensive. Some families can’t even afford to bury their loved ones because of the demanding prices, which is very sad. Family members are also saying “if there’s anything you need just ask”, but when you do ask there’s always an explanation to how they can’t afford to help right now and how there so busy, but there always calling with that sad I can help you type of thing but when you really need them they are nowhere to be found as if they didn’t even
With the majority of the affected families taking an active roll in the caring for Alzheimer’s patients it seems that the responsibilities of caring for a family member of a family of orientation while juggling the responsibilities of being a member of a family of procreation and other constraints such as work puts a strain on the caretaker no matter what the sex or gender of the caretaker may be. Alzheimer’s forces a family into a situation they did not willingly ask for and are made to adapt one way or another to the situation because refusal to do so can severely threaten the family structure. The length of the illness causes emotional strains along with physical and financial costs, which can intensify the family’s feeling of abandonment and loss. Having had a family member ravaged by this disease I am aware of the difficulties that families incur when dealing with the struggles brought on by Alzheimer’s and feel that more research and time need to be devoted to the issue. The issues that arise affect not only the family system but, especially with the expected growth of those diagnosed with the disease, society as a whole.
Because of my current mindset, I do not have time to waste on patients who might be “probable candidates” and only have the time for more dedicated patients. So if I was more open to lowering my high patient standards, I would probably be able to help a larger amount of patients. As constructed my model of helping only helps those who just need that extra guidance to achieve the patient’s goals. But by opening to more patients, I could become the seed planter as opposed to being the clinician who only reaps the benefits of another clinician before me. So if my model of helping could achieve the role of seed planter and the reaper of benefits rolled into one, then that would be the ideal model of helping for me.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that. Research shows that parents of a child diagnosed with ASD either stop or reduce work compared to parents of a child that is not diagnosed with ASD. This is due to the fact that someone has to take care of the child and most times it is the parents that do so. The parents also have to drive the child to see different doctors in order to help treat the ASD even though there is no known treatment as of yet. This takes even more time out of their lives.
So many people want to be independent but this actually creates a problem, more seniors are relying on community facilities or retirement homes to assist them with their daily living. Another thing about seniors is that they want to stay in their homes but cannot be able to afford the mortgage or let along the up keep of a home. So a great number of seniors are having to turn to retirement homes or even assisted living facilities. I believe that another reason why the health care is facing this problem today is because a great number of family members do not have the patience to put up with their loved one so they send them to an assisted home or even a retirement center. Which is sad to me because an individual’s mom and dad raises them but when it comes to the time for them to take care of them they just ship them
Assessment #1 June 18, 2015 When I think of long-term care facilities, more negatives than positives come to mind. I feel as though too many people are being entered into these facilities without receiving the proper care they deserve. When doing research and communicating with long-term care facility workers, I have concluded that the main problem is staffing. If I was managing my own facility the first problem I would resolve is the patient to health care worker ratio. Then I would focus on making sure consumers and their families feel comfortable in the environment they live in.
Survival is something that many of us have as a natural instinct. Including preventative health but, there are some who really could use some type of education. For example; when you know you need to have money for food, rent, and other basic needs, then you will go out and get a job and make money. Some will know that if they are not making enough funds to cover their needs then it would be a positive effect to go and increase your education. Everyone should look at health the same way, if you know your body needs certain things to remain healthy then take better control of yourself like maintaining preventative health care.
Many people live with sickness and illnesses today, because they can’t afford medical bills. Many families struggle with this challenging decision daily, on whether to provide food for their family, or pay for medications. It would also allow poor people to be healthy enough to get jobs, and to maintain them. Healthcare is pushed aside when families are not getting basic needs, like shelter, food or clothes; they die quicker because of lack of treatment. Free healthcare would preserve many lives.
