The movie, “My Cousin Vinny,” contains many ethical issues surrounding the legal profession.

Jan is a professional coder in charge of working on billing and reimbursements for a real buys general surgeon’s office. I believe that Jan has been working very hard trying to find the correct codes to match the procedures and Jan knows that she has to get them completed and done right. I believe that Jan could not find the correct procedural codes; because she probably did not have the proper CPT code manual book. If Jan would have sent the wrong codes for the reimbursements she could have caused the physician to be penalized by law on sending inappropriate claims. If Jan, were using the updated CPT manual she might have found the correct codes for the reimbursements or the procedural terminology (CPT) codes that are not listed.
The legal statue that applies to this case is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Equal Pay Act (Heneman, 2012). What issues must the court decide in this case? The court must decide in this case if there was any discrimination involved with Sex Discrimination through the Equal Pay Act. If you were the judge, how would you rule?

How math is used in Physical Therapy Mathematics is used in pretty much every aspect of physical therapy. Math may not be used when assisting patients with their PT exercises, but it will be used in many other aspects of physical therapy. One of the ways math is used in physical therapy is having good problem solving skills, for example being a physical therapist, one will need to know how to solve a patients problem such as planning and executing a exercise or rehabilitation routine or strategy. Another area where math apples to physical therapy is critical thinking. Critical thinking ability is important for safe clinical judgement, therapist must use sound judgement in decision making, recognizing patient goals and plan of care from the PT evaluation, and organize and prioritize patient care needs.

The elusive maze of Flannery O’Connor In A Good Man is Hard To Find Flannery O’Connor expresses the many ideas and logic which touches many controversial issues through subtle meanings and symbols. Every word said, and action taken is a puzzle piece to the different meanings, theme, and motifs a reader is able to derive from her writing. Although the story begins with a different mood and setting, everything dramatically changes and what emerges is a mystery wrapped in a whole different perspective in the characters. The Misfit who’s later introduced in the story describes the grandmother as, “She would have been a good woman if there had been somebody to shoot her every minute of her life” (O’Connor 413). A good man may be hard to find, but a good woman is also hard to find.
