A surgical site infection (SSI) is an infection that occurs after surgery in the part of the body where the surgery took place. About 300,000 SSIs occur each year. While most surgeries do not result in infection; about 1-3 patients out of every 100 who have surgery currently develop SSIs. Certain preventable surgical site infections (SSI) will no longer be reimbursed according to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Effective October 1, 2008, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) selected high-cost or high-frequency events from the National Quality Forum's list of “never events” for inclusion in this reimbursement change (Brown, Doloresco, Mylotte, 2009).
Dose Creep In the medical imaging field there is always a concern about the radiation exposure patients receive for each exam. Radiation safety and protection is always a controversy topic each year in the radiology field about over exposing patients. It is the technologist and management responsibility to ensure the x-ray equipment and technologist are giving the least amount of radiation exposure possible also known as ALARA: as low as reasonably achievable. With the equipment getting better every year, it has led to in some aspects decrease in patient dose. When using computed radiography or digital radiography, underexposed films will usually have leave noise on the image.

When people are very sick and have to lay in bed for months without showing a bit of progress, as in the majority of the cancer cases, they are in agony.“The Doctor believed that life must be extended as long they have the means and knowledge to do it” (Huttmann 114). This was a very scientific method of thinking. Doctors did not consider the emotional impact of the disease on the patient and the family members. Physicians are supposed to know when a person can have a chance to recuperate from sickness. In Macs case, the Doctor did not get emotionally involved and chose to endlessly approve resuscitation efforts.
A person cannot survive without a heart, kidney, or liver, and if any of these organs would start to malfunction, the only hope is that an organ would become available through organ donation. “Every year, nearly 190,000 people suffer an injury or infection that causes their kidneys to stop working” (Marsa 1). Waiting for an organ can take years; some people do not have that much time to wait for an organ. Generally, assigning a person to the waiting list means the most severe medical cases are at the top. Continuing down the list, people will find patients that are at less of a risk for waiting.
Medical care for the elderly Medical care for the elderly is one of many major issues currently under discussion by congress. Currently, Medicare is set up to help the elderly receive health benefits, but talks have risen to cut off the benefits once the person reaches the age of 70. The issues that the current health system for elderly is currently being contested by many with good arguments on both sides. From our group’s perspective, we say that cutting the benefits off at 70 will cause many seniors after the age of 70 to suffer greatly. Many seniors are able to keep themselves physically healthy until late 60’s, but for the seniors that suffer from disease or are hurt due to injuries will suffer from this once they hit that age.
