Third, wherever Germany in Eastern Europe, specialized units called Einsatzgruppen were created to murder Jews and political opponents in mass shootings. Finally, Jews and Romani were ordered to be live in overcrowded ghettos, there they were then transported by freight train to extermination camps. Extermination camps were camps that were built by Nazi Germany, during the World War II, that were designed to kill millions of people by gassing and extreme work under terrible living conditions. The Nazis were not alone in this effort. Parish churches and the Interior Ministry supported the genocide by presenting birth records showing who was Jewish; the Post Office delivered the deportation and denaturalization orders; the Finance Ministry took away Jewish property; German businesses fired Jewish workers and took away stock that belonged to the Jews.
When he answered the phone call it was a patient asking to get a refill on a prescription. This prescription was a controlled substance called Valium. Jerry is well aware that Valium is a drug that can be addictive and the only person who can prescribe this controlled substance is Dr. William’s because he is a licensed doctor. As Jerry is still on the phone with the patient he will have to let he or she know that because the prescription is a controlled substance and there are no more refills Dr. Williams will have to prescribe it himself. Jerry still wants to help the patient but as he still knows that he is not licensed to prescribe any medication to any patient.
When it comes to understanding health doctors and other medical professional’s use what is know as the biomedical model of health. The biomedical model treats illness as strictly something that is wrong with the workings of the body caused by things such as germs, disease and accidents and doesn’t take in to account a persons social or mental factors. The biomedical model also gives doctors a set of basic guidelines in which to work to. These guidelines include some practices that the general public would just take as obvious, for example; putting the care of the patient as top priority, to do no harm to the patient and to provide a cure for the patients ailment. These are all things we expect to get when we visit the doctor as this is why we go there.
Since the steroid therapy document is being made to other hospitals or scientist and there are no other competing instructions, ethos is not as necessary as in the blood transfusion error letter. The main source of ethos in the blood transfusion letter arises from the seriousness of life or death while performing the transfusion. Pathos is also used vastly throughout both documents. Both appeal to several of the audience’s values, including:• Life• Time• Health• Safety• AwarenessFinal ThoughtsBy completing a rhetorical analysis of these two documents, I have better knowledge with the structure and purpose of creating a memo out of external information such as an instruction document or an error letter. I noticed that these documents are highly important to performing medical tasks and procedures that allow patients to feel comfortable and in the blood transfusion case, to live.
Ethical Healthcare Issues Paper These current healthcare issues that are affecting our society are blood transfusion, the ability to receive medical treatment. There are many ethical health care issues that are currently affecting our society. This issue affects our society because it enables patients to receive blood transfusions in many situations that can save lives. Therefore, many reasons behind blood transfusions performed for injury, major surgeries and related blood disorders. In this paper, we will discuss the importance of blood transfusion and reasons why it is a current ethical health care problem.
“From an ethical viewpoint, if a rational adult who has been fully apprised of the consequences of not receiving this treatment persists in a refusal, the decision should be respected” (Effa-Heap, 2009). Even if the patient has a life threating illness, in which blood transfusions is the rational and quickest way of treatment. It is the health care team’s duty to investigate another course of action that the patient might find suitable, such as medications. This paper analyzes the ethical principles surrounding blood transfusion in Jehovah’s Witness patients. Ethical Principles “Respect for humans as a function of human dignity is the primary ethical responsibility for nurses in practice” (Chitty & Black, 2011).
Enhancing Patient Safety by reducing Medical Errors I chose the topic of “Enhancing patient safety by reducing medical errors” because it is a topic that I am very interested in. No matter what area of nursing I choose to go in, patient safety is always going to be a crucial part of the healthcare system. I know that when I work with the different patients, I am going have to provide a safe quality of care, be aware of the different risk factors that can affect a patient’s safety. I understand it is going to be a challenge to keep patients safe because errors and mistakes happen every day, and they can happen at any time. I feel like my job as a nurse would be to make sure that no errors occur, and that the patient is safe at all times.
It is very important that a patient trust their doctor. The origin of privacy between doctor and patient dates back to the Hippocratic Oath, which was written about two thousand years ago. H.I.P.P.A. (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) passed regulations in 1996 to further protect privacy due to the possibility of breach by insurance companies. There are several important reasons why patient confidentiality should be respected.
Doctors prescribe the medication and the patient administers their own death. Euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide are topical arguments based in morality. Within a medical community, arguments based on morality are extremely important as they define the ethics doctors are bound to professionally. Morality is foundational in medical sciences, as it should be when treating humans, who in turn, are guided by these morals. Physician
The elements of conformed consent are Reasonable alternatives to the proposed intervention, the relevant risks, benefits, and uncertainty’s, the final step is acceptance of the intervention by the patient. I do not believe that Mrs. Sparzas consent was done properly. In the beginning it is mentioned that Mrs. Sparza spoke poor English so an interpreter should have been present when she reviewed and signed the admission paperwork since Their is no mention of her sons ability to speak English. Mrs. Sparza was asked to sign the surgical consent for after she had already been medicated for the procedure which means that she may not have been in the proper state of mind so sign the consent form. The surgery that she was to receive was to here right eye yet the surgical consent form stated that she was to receive surgery on both eyes.
