Individual Negligence Paper Timber L. Keys HCS/478 October, 1, 2012 Lynda White Individual Negligence Paper Despite implementation of the Universal Protocol, wrong site surgeries have continued in the United States and number about 2,000 per year. “Never Events” are events that involve negligence with the healthcare system resulting in serious consequences and should never occur (Levy, 2012). Wrong site surgery is such an event. This paper will introduce the amputation mishap referenced in Season 3, Episode 7 of the Neighborhood newspaper involving Joseph Benson, a 62 year man who underwent an amputation of his leg just below the left knee and only suffered one complication-the wrong leg was amputated (The Neighborhood Newspaper; Season 3, Episode 7, 2012). This paper will differentiate between negligence, gross negligence and malpractice; explain my opinion of agreement or disagreement with the article and related rationale; describe the importance of documentation and ethical principles and describe what ethical principles would guide my practice.
When the doctor performed the procedure on Bruce, an accident resulted in the loss of most of the baby’s penis. The Reimers took their maimed son to several doctors until they ended up consulting medical psychologist Dr. John Money of Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore. Money told the parents that do to Bruce’s young age he could be raised as a girl successfully since a person’s gender was decided by their environment and not by their DNA. Bruce was an ideal candidate for an experiment to prove this claim since he had an identical twin brother to use as a control. Before then, gender reassignment surgery had never been performed on a child who had normal genitalia.

Neuropathy prevented Ian seeing where his body was which is a petrifying feeling; literally Ian was “The Man who Lost His Body”. It took a year for Ian to stand up safely and six months to put on his sock, this sensory process was long and tedious. This documentary taught me how we are fortunate to have sensory abilities; most people take it for granted because it’s natural. It was unbelievable how Ian recovered from this illness.
