There are parents who view that it is unnecessary and not safe for your child to be vaccinated and there are the parents who believe you should get your children vaccinated to make sure they stay healthy and won’t get a deadly disease. My viewpoint on this topic is also kind of sensitive because my almost 5 year old son has been tested for autism and it is hard to research autism without coming up on the opinions that the vaccinations will cause autism. I still stand by my decision to vaccinate my son and still went on with vaccination my second son. My viewpoint is even if it is proven that the vaccinations “cause” autism my child cannot die from being autistic. Whereas if my child gets one of the viruses or diseases from not being vaccinated it can be fatal to not only my child but spread to other children who are not vaccinated.
Bok RR1 In the easy “The Doctors’ Dilemma,” Sissela Bok explans why some doctors told lies to their seriously ill patients, and why doctors should be told the truth to their patients. For example, doctors discovered an old man had a form of cancer that he wil be die during few months. “Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients – to speed recovery or conceal the approach of death?” (337). According to the author doctor, most of doctors are in a dilemma as to whether to tell the patients the truth about their conditions or not. At times, they don’t want seriously ill patients to feel miserable about their conditions.
For example, side effects of appropriately prescribed and administered chemotherapy are an example of adverse events not caused by error (Hoy, 2006). Medical errors should be disclosed to patients for a number of reasons. Because of their fiduciary relationship with patients, physicians have an ethical responsibility to disclose errors to them. To withhold this information undermines the public trust in medicine and damages the therapeutic relationship between physician and patient. In fact, patients may be caused additional, avoidable harm by failure to disclose because they lack information that would allow them to receive appropriate treatment should further complications arise (Hoy, 2006).
Many disagree with it but I personally believe it should be up to the patient and his/her doctor to decide what is best for their life. I would say it would be considered as ethical egoism. I don’t agree with physician-assisted-suicide being illegal. I understand that someone’s death affects many people but I do believe that at the end it should be the patient’s choice. If I were terminally ill, I would not want to suffer just to suffer.
Doctors who lack proper training or those who have impairment problems tend to believe that their patients are honest about issues concerning prescriptions. These may include certain issues such as losing prescriptions, or early refills. This, however, only happens when the doctor fails to identify a drug abuse problem in the patient. Another ethical dilemma in the same field occurs when doctors do not disclose full patient history in the medical file of the patient. This may cause other doctors to prescribe the wrong drug thus putting the life of the patient at risk, either due to possible
For some reason unknown, the nurses and doctor were unable to perform this procedure at the time she arrived. Not knowing that during the time she was waiting in the hospital, her unborn son was losing oxygen. Their son suffered from loss of oxygen to the brain during his birth, and was born with severe and permanent developmental delays, severe and permanent brain damage, multiple physical and mental disabilities, and Cerebral Palsy (Wenger & Rector, 2012). Describe the issues of the legal case. Some issues that arose during this preceding were that the defendant, John Hopkins Hospital, did not think that they were responsible for the child’s brain damages.
Jessica knows somebody that had a cystectomy and is getting this procedure confused with a cystoscopy. Ectomy is a suffix, which means surgical removal, excision, and resection. Why would it be important for a Biller and Coder to know the difference between the two suffixes? Not only is it important for a Biller and Coder to know the differences between suffixes so the clinic is able to get reimbursed properly for services and avoid legal issues, but there are also ethical standards that have been put into place by the American Medical Association. If you fail to comply with proper documenting practices you could cause inappropriate payment increases or false insurance coverage or be skewing information to not comply with state or federal statutes and guidelines.
They believe that it would be better if nurses only practice under the guidance and supervision of the doctor. They believe that allowing them to practice independently would be detrimental to their patients (Mills, 2009). They would be prone to some misdiagnosis, failure to attend to less obvious, but potentially life-threatening problems as well as prescriptive errors. In fact, they maintained that many deaths in the hospital would be realized due to errors made in prescriptions. According to them, nurses however much trained and experienced lack skills to manage and deal with complex living with multi-system diseases.
After being sent to the hospital for having a brain injury, Drew’s family was heart broken but “confident that faith could lead them through crisis.”(249)Not sure on how I was going to take care of a kid while going to school and playing football all at the same time was a huge crisis.

March 7th, 2013 Day One: My diagnoses Why me? I can’t take this anymore. You probably wonder what I am talking about… Well, last night I was permanently diagnosed with tourettes syndrome. I mean yeah, I could have a much more serious disease, but this is really affecting my life style. My family started seeing symptoms a few weeks ago, not that I thought anything of it.
