The clinical outcome in this situation was clearly that Mr. B was over-sedated leading to a very dangerous situation. Hypoxia during sedation is a common side affect, which is treated by giving the patient O2 or reversing the sedation. However in this situation the staff was not aware that he was hypoxic, and why weren’t they? The answer a nurse had silenced the alarm but had not done an assessment nor alerted anyone else of the situation. Why did the nurse choose to silence the alarm with no further action?
The words, garbage, debris, toxins were avoided to give the subject a more pleasant relationship with his body and its byproducts, which are necessary to be formed but need to be eliminated and not to be hated or feared. So the words, impurities, and unwanted waste used. Author prefers the healing light to circulate within the body, than to let it flow out through the feet, and prefers only the impurities to go down that route. The size of the sphere of light expanding to three feet is quite small, and the subject may feel cramped inside causing claustrophobia if susceptible. Therefore it was changed to ‘ a diameter just beyond your arm span’ where there is enough space for each subject to comfortably float in his own custom made space, and be surrounded completely by the healing light.
Gabor states “No drugs, in itself, are addictive.” This means that it is not the drug that causes the addiction, it is why the people are doing the drugs in the first place, and the way it makes them feel. If people grow up in an abusive household and have never experienced a “warm, soft hug”(305), they turn to drugs because it will give them that feeling. Although some may agree with Mate’s argument, the ways in which he gives his evidence and examples lacks all the necessary information needed in order to make a decision on whether you agree or disagree with his argument. In paragraph four Mate uses a scientific example saying, “Only about 8 per cent to 15 per cent of people who try, say alcohol or marijuana, go on to addictive use.” (305) While this statistic may be true, it is difficult to report on how many of those people of that eight to fifteen per cent are using it because they simply have an addictive personality. For Mate to say that all addictive drug use is caused from neglect issues is not accurate because he does not account for the people who do drugs because they want to.
Rebuttal to Negative Effects of Tanning Beds Many people see individuals who use the tanning bed too much and think that tanning indoors is bad for them when in reality there are many benefits to indoor tanning. This is a controversial topic because many believe that melanoma cancer is directly related to indoor tanning. The author of the article I found online believes this too and while they tried to make a compelling case it just does not hold up to the facts that I have found myself that indoor tanning does have benefits. The article that I located about the negative effects of tanning beds on livestrong.com explains that excessive exposure [of tanning beds] can lead to problems such as skin cancer, eye cancer, and that they are considered unsafe by organizations such as the U.S Food & Drug Administration and American Academy of Dermatology (Welton, 2011, Skin Cancer). In response to this, it is fact that the U.S Food and Drug Administration does regulate the indoor tanning industry so it does stay safe for individuals to use (Welton, 2011).
This would be a new idea to the system and doctors and/or nurses won’t be very fond of this new method of running things. Hospitals think that the way they are running things is just fine and that there is no need for improvement. Gawande’s concept will take time to sink in. The article “Free For All” shows that by making health care free to the Jamaican public, it did not help the people in need nor did it benefit the health care system. A lot of people were seeking treatment, but there was a limited amount of resources because there was no money coming in.
WHAT COMPELS YOU? Have you ever been in a situation where there was something that you really wanted to do, and you were told that by law you could not do it because of the color of your skin? What if what you wanted to do was drink from a water fountain, eat at a restaurant, or even just go to the bathroom, but you could not because you were wearing the wrong skin? Would you be upset and get angry about it? Luckily we do not have to endure this practice today in America due to some amazing leaders in that time who fought for what they believed to be morally right regardless what the law said.
Community preventative healthcare may be neglected, as Hispanics may show up late for appointments or not at all. They seek older family member out for healthcare and personal advice before seeking health care in western medicine. Health is protected by wearing of beads, necklaces and charms to ward off evil spirits. Due to the fact that most Hispanics are Catholics, they do not believe in birth control and feels that children are God’s gift to them. Pregnancy and childbirth is viewed as normal and not a need to seek healthcare.
Her credentials have nothing about being a biochemists, physiologist or pharmacologist which would be the appropriate fields of study for such an article. Thus Anastasia Tofexis is not academically qualified to write an article about the chemical of love without being professional enough to exclude personal biases. The short background information about the author’s credential even stated that she has “some best-selling cover stories on subjects such as medicine……;” simple put stories are not facts and this alone affects her credibility and reliability altogether on covering the chemicals behind love. The article in itself seems to play off as a cover story too as there is no in depth scientific explanation behind any of her reasoning, which shows her being a novice a topic she has a true motive to. That motive was to discredit scientists and researchers who approached love in one hand and science in the other.
One major reason that female circumcision is so controversial is that it is not very hygienic and many health risks come with it. Since there are no known health benefits that come from female circumcision, many people think that it is cruel to do that to a women or girl. This becomes especially true when you add in the factor about all of the health risks. A few risks come right away with this procedure, such as “severe pain, shock, hemorrhaging (bleeding), tetanus or sepsis (bacterial infection), urine retention, open sores in the genital region and injury to nearby genital tissue.” (Female Genital Mutilation, Who.int) Some long term health risks include “recurrent infections, chronic pain, cysts, an inability to get pregnant, complications during childbirth and fatal bleeding.” (Female Genital Mutilation, Wikipedia). Along with all these risks is the fact that with some procedures the vagina is almost completely closed, so later on in life the women will have to undergo multiple procedures so she can engage in intercourse and if she gets pregnant, she will have to be opened up for childbirth.
They are addressed by a surname, and age/social status is considered higher rank regardless of age. Lady’s are not to cross their legs or point at anything with the foot in fear or showing signs of contempt or disrespect towards the person. When it comes to healthcare providers explaining illness or health status, Asians have a cultural respect for harmony. This can really hamper the patients well being and future plan of care by not asking for more explications when they may not complete understand what is going on in fear of disrupting harmony. When caring for the Japanese culture, be aware to never touch or reach over the patient’s head, as this part of the body is very sacred to them.
