When the person dies the family pays for the transportation cost of the remains. After dissection the body is cream made and sent back to the family. These are just a few reasons why I’m for the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act. It allows people the right to give or not give their body to science for study after they die. The families of the donor can be a part of the movement against grave robbing.
007-3.2 Explain the potential impact of an out break of infection on the individual and the organisation. Impact on the organisation: There would be potentially huge cost implications on an organisation with regards to staff sickness levels rising, causing the need to employ more staff which they will be paying to cover in addition to staff that are off sick ,and patients needing hospitalisation. Patients may require to have longer stays in hospital causing a shortage of beds for other patients. Hospitals, units and wards could all face closure short term or long term. The organisation could also be fined by not complying with the law which would have a negative effect with exposure in the media.
The atrocities that the war brought also brought along the work at the end of the battle that was the burying detail. The number of dead bodies dealt with was unimaginable, because it defied all administrative and logical capacities. Of course, there were thoughts of burials before the war began, but the number surpassed any person’s imagination. Faust observed, “When the war began, Military officials on both sides sought to establish regularized burial procedures, in no small part because decaying bodies and the stink that emanated from them were believed to pose serious threats to public health.” (Faust 63) So, when the war permitted both sides tried to keep an accurate account, but as the battles increased the cemeteries were entirely inadequate and field hospitals failed to keep careful records. Practical realities dictated that retreating armies did not have time to attend to the dead but had to depend on the humanity of their victorious opponents, who obviously would tend to their dead first.
The Sudanese government is supplying arms to the Arab nomads who have formed militias to attack and destroy villages. These militias are the ones the people of Darfur call Janjaweed which translates to as “the devil on a horse” (20). The Janjaweed is blocking and confiscating the medical supplies as well as the food that is coming in through humanitarian relief efforts. This civil war has created a need for basic medical needs especially for the women and children. As this cleansing of the African race continues, it is causing mental, physical, and health issues that are spiraling out of
In addition, there is mounting pressure to decrease medical costs. The recognition that healthcare associated infections (HAIs) are expensive has led to increased investigation of causes of HAIs and of means of preventing them. There are many reports of contaminated medical equipment and surfaces leading to outbreaks, thereby providing another reason for increased focus on cleaning and disinfection.5-11 Jarvis: The transmission of two common HAI pathogens illustrates the importance of the environment in HAI prevention. C. difficile- or VREcolonized patients contaminate their environment, leading to subsequent transmission of these pathogens to patients. Recent outbreaks of the C. difficile strain known as the North American Pulsefield Type 1 (or NAP 1 strain) have illustrated the critical
They also believed that the sandy, high winds were one of the many causes that spread the Black Death across so many countries. An Arab doctor’s medical perspective on the Black Death was that “it was an infection, confirmed by experience, research, insight and observation and through constantly recurring accounts. There are elements of proof, a man comes in contact with a person who has the plaque and he dies. Another man comes in contact with a man who does not have the plaque and he lives.” Here is the proof, per this doctor. “People become the vessel in which the disease is housed.
The Impact of Black Death on Society Rowena R. Chaple World Civilizations I HIS 103 Professor Steven Harn March 6, 2010 The Impact of Black Death on Society All through history, the world has endured enormous death rates caused by plagues, and the most famous was without a doubt the bubonic plague. It was named the Black Death and spread across Medieval Europe in the years 1346-53. During this time the Black Death was to kill 1.5 million people out of an estimated 4 million people. Ancient history includes descriptions of epidemics that seized their victims suddenly and offered an agonizing death as far back as 430 B.C.E. in Athens, Greece.
Symptoms of this plague included but were not limited to sub epidermal hemorrhages, swollen lymph nodes, and gangrene. From infection to death was a relatively short period most of the time only being a week. As the plague ravaged Europe it took with it an estimated 25-50 million people and forever changed its social and economic landscape. (Gottfried, p. 6-7) One of the biggest impacts of the plague felt throughout the world was that of trade. The plague disrupted the entire old world trading system due to the fact that trade was the main cause of the spread.
Plans should be made to mitigate another severe influenza epidemic by using a wide range of interventions to reduce transmission. That way we can reduce the impact of an outbreak and buy time until vaccines are developed, this will indeed not be cheap but human lives are worth it. There should be a precise aim on the intervention; it should be greatly prioritized, with the main aim at minimizing mortality. Watching the video, I had a sense of grief for all the people who died because of this disease, and had sympathy for their surviving relatives. This video to me was very sad and was a very horrific, dark and hopeless time in American history.
Interestingly, this is where we get the word for injury known as “boo boo”. People also became suspicious of each other and family members would often blame each other and refuse to associate with each other in fear of contracting the Black Death. One of the results of the Black Plague was that it changed the social order and led to the Peasants Revolt of 1381 to increase wages. Labor became highly valued due to the
