Is it because we don’t even know what HPV is or maybe it’s because we are not informed about the vaccine, or could it be we know about the vaccine but it’s too expensive for the average person? Before staring my research on this paper I myself didn’t really know much about HPV. I don’t know if it’s because the spot light isn’t really on HPV but is on things such as HIV AIDS and other STD’s or is it because it’s not really talked about. All I knew was when I go to the doctor’s office to get my yearly pap smear my doctor asks me if I want the vaccine. My response has always been no.
The main reason the grant was not spent appropriately is because Mary did not plan for the future of Magnolia when they received the one year grant. Hiring more counselors is an obvious need to help meet the increase of people suffering from PTSD after the terrorist attack. However, the remainder of the grant should not have went toward increasing Magnolia’s administrative services. When hiring the new counselors Mary should have only hired minimal permanent staff, and hired the rest as temporary employees. The need for more help in administrating the new patients is also an obvious need; however all of the new employees should also be
After birth cystic fibrosis cannot be developed nor can it be contagious. People with cystic fibrosis have a variety of symptoms. Some cases are severe, while others are mild. It is not curable, but it is treatable. Scientist and doctors believe that there are more than one thousand ways the cf gene can mutate and the various mutations could cause the different symptoms.
This just goes to show that there is drug-testing going on all over the United States in many different ways. In some cases drug testing is very effective, but overall drug testing is not very accurate or beneficial in the workplace. Unless someone showed up for work under the influence of drugs or alcohol and the employer wants proof that this person is in fact using drugs or alcohol then drug testing in the workplace is meaningless. After conducting research on the subject of random drug testing in the workplace we have concluded that random drug testing does not work. Not to say that it does not have an impact or that it is ineffective to companies or businesses, but this does not work because the tests are not always one hundred percent accurate.
Without Fleming’s initiative, penicillin would not have been discovered, or maybe later in time. Despite Fleming’s discovery being by chance, he actually did discover penicillin and without luck other things would not have been discovered also. Other factors which were important to the discovery of penicillin include previous work of other scientists. This includes Joseph Lister who noted in the 1880’s that a mould called penicillin killed bacteria and other substances because nothing grew around it. He noted the observation and intended to try it on infected wounds and also planned to send a letter of his findings to his brother, but never managed to.
Secondly, parents should oppose vaccinating their children as a way of protection from developing autism because of the significant step of banning mercury from being included in vaccines, which was taken by the US government related to this matter (Campbell, 2004). Although the government did not openly admit that mercury poisoning could be a possible cause behind the autism epidemic, parents must remain aware to the fact that if this issue was serious enough for such action to be taken, then vaccinations are not as safe for children as health authorities want everyone to believe. Finally, parents should not vaccinate their children if they want to protect them from developing autism because enough evidence exists to support the claim that vaccinations could be to blame for the rise in autism (Kirby,
As a young child, my mind always jumped to conclusions and I figured since I was so young, I did not have a chance at surviving. I took my question to my surgeon and he told me I had absolutely nothing to worry about. I believed him, but what I did not know was the risk that I could run low of blood in my brain during the surgery and die. My parents and doctor discussed the risks and had made the decision for me to take the risk and have the surgery. We are all taught that lying is wrong.
Also stated in the article from vaccines.gov, “ Vaccines are only given to children after a long and careful review by scientists, doctors, and healthcare professionals. Vaccines will involve some discomfort and may cause pain, redness, or tenderness at the site of injection but this is minimal compared to the pain, discomfort, and trauma of the diseases these vaccines prevent.” Before vaccines can even be given to hospitals they have to be examined by scientists and specialists to make sure they are safe for children. Also vaccines have to be passed through certain health department before they are able to be sent out to hospitals to have children receive them. There are many different organizations and departments that make sure children can receive vaccines. Even if some families have problems with cost of vaccines there are some organizations that help with the
Ethical Dilemma The major ethical dilemma for the drug Zmapp is that the World Health Organization is debating on whether to let some participants be placed in a control group that receives only standard symptomatic treatment, despite a mortality rate of around 70%. The other participants would be getting the new drug and possible getting better. This is a major ethical dilemma, whether to let a lot of people die because you did not give them the drug, or give everyone the drug and hope that it cures them and not kill them because of side effects. (Hayden 2014) “These trials will be conducted in a context of fear, distrust, a lack of effective care options, the admission of multiple family members to the same center, and sometimes violence against health-care workers,” says Peter Horby, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, UK. “Scientific arguments cannot tell us what will work in these conditions.” It is a hard decision to make and the United States thinks that every patient should receive the experimental treatment no matter if it’s not any better than standardized treatment.
It took me a while to piece together all the information. Many people are infected by the flu, plagues, measles, and many more illness or diseases per year. There is not much people can do to not get sick; but at the hospital there is, and that would be washing your hands. Even though some don’t, doctors should always be washing their hands because they are the ones carrying diseases from patient to patient (Gawande 344). If a doctor sees a patient who has the flu, and doesn’t wash his before he goes to see his next patient, that patient may also get the flu.
