But if Patch was too attach to the patient, he could also make a totally wild off the chart procedure and could cause more damage or be fatal to the patient. The same can go for Dr. Walcott’s method of practice. If Dr. Walcott is treating a patient and did not understand the background of a patient to the lack of attention given to him/her, then he could prolong the sickness or disease and could cause serious injury or even death to the patient. At the same time, if Dr. Walcott is not emotional attached to a patient, he is capable of making a better decision since there will be less emotion in his decision making
After watching this film, it was clear that medication helped Alex. They took a mixed approach with mixed results. Even when medication does work, no one knows why. Still, any parent, teacher, or professional will gain a better understanding of all sides of this controversial issue from this program. Frontline also gives ADHD a human face.
He realises this and sees how he can relate to the patients and accepts who they are. The play go’s ahead and is a great success. Lewis learns that even though the mental patients are mad, they are people who he admires and takes a genuine interest in their views. Lewis becomes happy with who he is and learns that even though the play was a success it won’t be the difference in the patients going from being “mad” to being “normal”. Louis Nowra uses alliteration in the last line of the play “time to turn out the lights”, a nice way to end Lewis’
Emotional support for Mr. Thomas may help with his depression, and make him feel better about caring for his wife during her illness. Emotional support for their two children may help encourage more time spent with the whole family, and hopefully getting all of the family members more comfortable with the disease process that really effects every member of the family, not just Mrs. Thomas. The second strategy is to provide medication teaching for Mrs. Thomas. With end-of-life medications, there can be a lot, and it can be very confusing and quickly become overwhelming.

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.

He discovered curing a client by positive suggestions such as “day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better.” Coue discovered that hypnosis will only be successful if the client believes that it will work. Those that are sceptical will not benefit. Sigmund Freud was impressed enough with hypnosis to adopt it into his treatment of neurotic disorders. It enabled the clients to remember events that had been forgotten and buried. However, he was developing his own psychoanalysis system and coupled with the difficulty he experienced hypnotising some patients, he abandoned hypnosis and concentrated on free association.
According to utilitarianism, the most happiness would go to the person suffering from the disease and their family and friends, this is because even though the family and friends would be sad that the person had passed away they would also be happy because the person they love would not be suffering. The only unhappiness in the situation would come from the government who would claim that anyone who helped

Finding the positive outlook in situations is Anne’s way of staying true to who she is, which helps her to stay optimistic during tough times. Unlike Anne, the chiming of the clock is unsettling to her fearful family, whom become neurotic and panicked. Marie Forgeard, a psychologist at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School -- who has done extensive research into post-traumatic growth and creativity -- explains, “Because adverse events force us to reexamine our beliefs and priorities, they can help us break out of habitual ways of thinking” (Forgeard).

If the patient passed away from complications of taking the refill then that opens the door for a wrongful death lawsuit. Jerry could lose his license as well as Dr. Williams if Jerry calls in the refill and the patient has an adverse reaction. When it comes to problem solving for this situation, Jerry just need to weigh out the pros and cons of him calling in the refill without consulting Dr. Williams.
