The image that the media portrays about a nurse’s education is damaging to the profession in many ways. The education in which a nurse actually has to endure is more complicated than what most would think. In Grey’s Anatomy, there are so many instances where nurses are looked down upon, one of those being one of the characters, Alex Karev, an intern who constantly disrespects nurses. In season 6, episode 23 intern Alex Karev responds to a nurse who questioned him with “I want to see you go to med school for four more years and see what you are saying then” (“Sanctuary”). Although viewers do know that Grey’s Anatomy is a fictional show, there are still parts in the mind that register that physicians actually talk to nurses as Alex Karev

She comes up with the ward policies and laws, and imposes them on every single patient, until a protagonist, R.P McMurphy, enters the hospital. He tries to rebel against the abduction and power abuse of Nurse Ratched, and ends up being a victim of the Combine, paying for his deeds by his own life.

Mr. Ard wife made several contacts to the nurse and there was no response in a timely manner. A nurse eventually came and instead of checking the patient out thoroughly medication for nausea was given to him. The wife notice that her husband symptoms was getter worse and tried paging the nurse in which did not arrive until an hour and 25 minutes later.

Researches just recorded what they observed in the ill black men but would not do anything about it, they would just watch the participants die slowly. Even after penicillin was discovered to be the cure for syphilis, researchers refused to give it to the infected patients, “subjects were denied antibiotic therapy when it became clear that penicillin was safe and effective treatment for syphilis”. Even after the cure for syphilis was discovered, doctors decided to continue the study for another 25 years without treating those suffering from the disease. Researchers lied to the participants to encourage them to stay and keep being part of the experiment. Failure to inform the participants that treatment for their disease was available lead to the untrust of medicine from may black people.
As the years pass, modern medicine is advancing and benefiting humanity greatly. However, unlike doctor-assisted suicide, it cannot entirely eradicate the pain and distress of the dying process. Doctors are supposed to alleviate a patient's pain, if not, completely eliminate it. In addition, physicians do not have the capability of knowing what their patients are experiencing, and therefore should not force the patient to continue living against his or her will. Repeated efforts to heal patients are often considered inhumane and not medically sound.
A difficult question facing society today is the legalization of euthanasia, another word for mercy killing. Euthanasia is a method of causing death painlessly to end suffering. People who are in a coma because of accidents and elderly people who are terminally because of incurable diseases are being kept alive by artificial means. They have no chance to recover, but American laws do not allow doctors to end their lives. Although many people feel that doctors must do everything possible to keep their patient alive.
