“Means are the tools or behaviors that one employs to achieve a desired outcome [either good or bad]. Ends are those outcomes that one desires to achieve [either good or bad as well]. (pg 27) The Tuskegee Study had bad means with bad ends, being that the doctors and researchers knew they were going to misinform their patients, in hopes they would stay with the study. This was deliberately intended unethical behavior. Although the researchers, doctors and nurses took care of these men, they did not properly inform them of the outcome from having “bad blood”, syphilis.
It has free assistance and counseling for both the patient and families. This was very important because when Zachary was trying to get treatment and counseling we either had to pay for it because of not having the right insurance. This also leads to not getting any help or treatments, which was hard on everyone. Our message is to take one day at a time and to help relieve the burden patients feel that they put upon their family and friends. Cancer is not an infectious as a disease but does create a fear that affects daily lives of all those near and dear to us.
The article, “African American Men and the experience of Employment discrimination” by Mong and Roscigno (2010) states, “Discrimination is often inferred as an influential mechanism, yet seldom directly examined in its own right (p. 1). To examine discrimination in its own right, first, there is a need to admit that it exists. The article continues to examine discrimination in the workplace. In Brier and McBaldi’s study (as cited in Mong and Roscigno, 2010) “Gaps on key economic indicators such as employment, occupational prestige, income, and job mobility persist some forty years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act”(p. 1). The statement helps prove that discrimination has not just begun and it proves that discrimination was a problem during the 1950’s and 60’s and continues to unveil in today’s times.
Marion Jacobs indicates a decrease in the number of doctors and teachers. Since then, with her exaggeration, she blames all of the faults on the shortages of teachers and doctors. It is not really make sense, because the medical and education are affected by many aspects, not just the shortage of teachers and doctors. In addition, she believes that people who hold degrees are healthier than others, she says it without evidences and the researches that she mentions are unreliable. In fact, a lot of degree holders do not have good health because of long time focus on studying.
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study (TSUS) was a clinical study based in Tuskegee, Alabama by the U.S Public Health Service. The main purpose of the testing was to “study the course of syphilis in blacks and to compare the course of the disease against a study on syphilis in whites.” (Pg 39; 2) There was a major problem with this study and the way it was conducted. There were many ethical question raised as to whether the effects of syphilis on black males was worthy of study. The main issue raised was that the subjects tested weren’t told what they were being tested for. Instead, they were “told they that were being tested for bad blood, a Southern catchphrase for a variety of illnesses.
In all the pain Dax endured he was given the minimal amounts of medications which infringed on his autonomy (4), making his treatments more painful. Beneficence is the desire to do good. In dax’s case it becomes controversial. The physicians would argue that they used minimal medication to prevent Dax from becoming an addict. They would also argue that the only way to prevent infection was using chlorinated baths and dousing a resident with the antibiotic, sulfanymde.
It’s irrational of them to keep all of the staff when over half of the institutions populations were released just so that they can keep their jobs. I believe this is why America is in so much debt that because of greedy people not helping children and just thinking about themselves has gotten America to were they are now. Yes They have put in place new laws and reforms to help children but how much is it really helping them and how much are we not
Each state as a whole is losing much needed money and it is going down the drain due to these physician owned practices. The amount of compensation fees that they must pay the workers are off the charts and most of the employees work overtime and with a large group of patients. Many people also argue the benefits of physician owned physical therapy services and the other side of the argument must be presented as well. Some may say that the quality of care is better with joint services. A greater role by the physician may be played in order to help the patient.
I think it would be pretty awful. If you think how many countries want to harm us but they didn’t because our veterans didn’t let them. They need all the appreciation they can get because they don’t get a lot of money for what they did, I think they should but they don’t. They did so much for us. They come out all bruised, broken bones, and even cut off body parts.
The welfare system in the United States needs to change. Perhaps the reason that so many people get and stay on welfare is that it is the best thing economically for them and their family, but welfare is being abused because the rules are so lax. While it does help some people who cannot work for true medical reasons, others who are not in need take advantage it. The welfare system has made people dishonest and lazy, robbed people of motivation, and encouraged carelessness in a lot of individuals. In the United States, welfare recipients can receive welfare their whole lives by cheating the system, whereas individuals who have worked their whole life and get laid off receive unemployment for only one year.
