The foetus was found not growing while the sarcoma kept growing in her seventh month pregnancy. She consulted and later rejected by doctors in private hospital for a caesarean birth. Unluckily, same rejction she experienced when admitted to government hospital. Natal She was led to the labour room on 25th April 2007 at 8am. She was informed of an induction to deliver her baby as the standard operation procedure.
After two weeks in the hospital, Kate developed an infection that placed her in a coma on a respirator, which is “saving” her for the time being. Another part of this chapter that I found extremely interesting was the reaction of Anna when, after much argument about hockey camp, Sara said, “Anna, don’t make me do this” (269). Anna hotly responds, “Do what, Mom? I don’t make you do anything,” (269) hinting on how, throughout her
Case Study (Mrs. B) Mrs. B is a 79-year-old retired schoolteacher who was in excellent health prior to suffering a stroke three days previously. Her physician has on file in her medical record a living will, which she wrote out some ten years before. At that time she had indicated that, should she ever suffer a stroke of any sort, she would not want to be saved. She had watched her mother live as an invalid for about four years in a nursing home after sustaining a stroke. Mrs. B wanted to be sure she would never be exposed to such an indignity nor constitute such a burden on others.

When people are very sick and have to lay in bed for months without showing a bit of progress, as in the majority of the cancer cases, they are in agony.“The Doctor believed that life must be extended as long they have the means and knowledge to do it” (Huttmann 114). This was a very scientific method of thinking. Doctors did not consider the emotional impact of the disease on the patient and the family members. Physicians are supposed to know when a person can have a chance to recuperate from sickness. In Macs case, the Doctor did not get emotionally involved and chose to endlessly approve resuscitation efforts.
In February 2006, Emily Jerry, a two-year old child was at a Cleveland hospital to complete her last series of chemotherapy treatment. Her doctor ordered intravenous chemotherapy solution that was filled incorrectly by a pharmacy technician. The prescription called for 1% saline; however, a lethal amount of 23% saline was given instead, causing her to slip into a coma resulting in death. Eric Cropp, who was the supervising pharmacist signed off on the technician’s work despite her informing him that the mixture did not look right; nonetheless, he approved it. The pharmacy was so busy that day and short staffed, which led to a preventable fatal error that changed Eric’s whole life in a matter of seconds.

On my second day of placement in Theatres, I was in the recovery room where a 3 year old boy was being recovered following surgery. The next patient admitted was a Polish lady, who I will call Joanna, in order to maintain confidentiality. She was admitted following an elective termination of pregnancy. Pre operatively she had an interpreter present, but she had returned to the ward and was not present in recovery. When she woke up, Joanna turned to her right and saw the 3 year old boy next to her.
