Some people plan on being an organ donor, but when death comes unexpectedly, either their family was not informed or the proper paperwork and donor card was not filled out. Or sometimes people are just too selfish to donate organs because of comfort issues with their body not being intact after they have died. There is nothing wrong with an uncomfortable feeling about
I have always had very strong opinions regarding vaccinations; especially now as a parent and a student in the medical assistant program. An old supervisor of mine believed in not vaccinating his children. He believed that he was injecting a ‘poison’ into his child’s body and he didn’t believe in vaccinations. He felt he was protecting his child by not giving him the vaccinations. I asked him one day, “Have you been vaccinated?” He replied, “Yes.” I then asked him, “Do you have poison in your body then?” He didn’t answer my question.
Tavion’s father also put on the note that he was divorced and that his mother was not allowed access to their son’s medical records for any reason. Tavion’s mother showed up at Methodist Hospital that following weekend wanting copies of her son’s medical records and that she suspected that Tavion’s father was physically abusing their son. Tavion’s mother’s statement of suspecting that the father was physically abusing the son is sufficient to warrant a further investigation by the hospital. If the documentation was done fully and clearly and with the necessary detail than those officials that are performing the investigation will see that the story the father told them about Tavion and how he got hurt did not make sense, and that they were suspecting that it was physical abuse as well. And the parents, regardless of relationship status, should have the right to access their child’s records, especially when my other patient is suspected of child abuse.
It was also the responsibility of the social workers to make sure that the children were being seen by doctors and that the parents were following up with appointments to fix the conditions of the children. It seems that everyone involved in this case; social workers, foster-home evaluator, licensing inspector, and especially two supervisors of the Division of Youth and Family Services were extremely negligent with this case and decided to look the other way instead of doing their job. It seems that everyone involved was in it for the money instead of taking care of the health and welfare of the
College takes a great deal of money, and he did not have the money. Furthermore, his alcoholic mother is unable to send him to college because she lacks the finical ability to do so. When Richi says, “My plans, maybe just my dreams really, had been to go to college, and to write. All the other guys in the neighborhood thought I was going to college. I wasn’t, and the army was the place I was going to get away from all the questions”, this illustrates that Richi is
Healthcare Issues As the discharge planner for Mr. Trosack, I will need to address several issues before I can safely send him home. He has had several new diagnoses while in the hospital for a fractured hip, and the hip fracture will be the first issue I will address. He will not have the mobility he had before his fall and even though he wants to be independent, he will continue to have issues at home that needs to be addressed. Second, he has been diagnosed with diabetes, and he is in denial about this. He and his family feel that he will be able to control his blood sugar level with diet alone.
Michael Schiavo stated that his wife would not have wanted to go on in a persistent vegetative state, yet he waited a long time to make that claim; thus, he could be said to have ignored his wife's wishes and violated her autonomy for many years. Terri Schiavo's parents stated that even if she had had a living will, they would have ignored it. Under cross-examination during trial, her parents also stated that they would have amputated all four of her limbs and sought open-heart surgery if needed to keep her alive. Again, this sentiment represents a clear violation of the principle of
Melissa would exploit Melinda’s weekness in her argument by saying, the soul is not tangible. Therefore you will not be able to feel, taste, or touch and neither will Matthew. Matthew’s beaten up body is tangible and after seeing the extent of tubes and other various hospital equipment it is safe to say that Matthew’s soul is not a deciding factor in keeping him on life support. There is really no real conclusion to this story. You have two sisters that have to decide what to do with a brother that is brain dead.
He has conflict in his mind that his family can never fit into his community, he also feels pressured to fit into his community hence he forces his family to adapt to the culture of the community for example, having to persuade his wife to carry out circumcision on his son on discovery that the youngest son Sajid was accidentally not circumcised as is preferred in Islam, Sajid is promptly taken to the hospital to get circumcised. He also expresses his embarrassment about his son Nazir
