(Name) (Subject) (Name of Professor) (Date) There is no denying that X-rays are a potential threat to a person's health, but that threat also applies to the Radiologic Technician. X-rays are performed on a patient as directed by a Physician to find the cause of the physical malfunction in the body. This is so the patient does not have to go through life with the same pain day after day. However, a careful balance must be struck because of radiation. The health of RadiologicTechnologists and the patient are at risk when concerning X-rays because of the gamma radiation rays, yet X-rays are vital to finding out what the medical issue is.
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
My theory also is that eventually people will start bidding on artificial organs and the richer people will have say over a family that doesn't have a lot of money. If doctors wanted to replace original organs with artificial ones, it would take a lot of perfecting and obligating a clean bill of health for the patient. Who, if anyone, should be a prime candidate for these types of artificial/synthetic replacements? Do you feel that anyone should have access to them? Even a life-long smoker or alcoholic who knowingly subjected themselves to harmful substances?
Argument for Change Stacy Powell Kaplan University College Composition II Argument for Change "Rules in the healthcare setting are very important to ensure proper care of the people being treated there by the healthcare staff responsible for their well being while they are being treated. " Some people would argue that some of the rules set in a healthcare facility are ridiculous and refuse to follow them. Such as cell phone use or taking excessive smoking breaks or longer breaks than assigned. These rules are set to ensure the safety of the patients that live there. If someone is on their phone they tend to ignore call lights or other duties they are supposed to attend to.
As companies have tried to tighten the budgets, benefits have fallen victim. Employees who once paid little for medical care are now paying more out of pocket. It is likely that this shift has required medical providers to rely on payments from patients who may have trouble paying their share. Until recently, employers did not focus on medical insurance programs that required those covered under the plan to take any type of accountability for their health. Therefore, employers need to establish wellness programs that promote prevention instead of merely giving insurance that covers illness and disease.
Abstract Ever wonder the purpose of the “The Good Samaritan laws” and who is protected? The purpose of this law is to protect an individual that assist in providing aid during a medical emergency. This law may vary from state to state. Some state laws protect anyone who provides aid while others may not. Becoming aware of these laws would be ideal, but not knowing the key points of each law where someone may encounter an emergency should be protected if they act reasonably.
Most diagnostic tests conducted in a Radiology Department expose patients using ionising radiation that are considered to be generally safe. There is no doubt that any radiation dose implicated could produce some form of effects on such individual. Hence, the purpose of radiation protection and safety programmes aim to prevent such unnecessary radiation exposures and to control the amount of exposure dose whenever is required. Even though it is necessary to reap the benefits on the use of radiation in the diagnosis of certain illnesses, it is still imperative to maintain the level of dosage to be at its minimum. This helps in reducing the patient’s lifetime risk of developing cancer while undergoing the different types of x-ray examinations.
Compliance plans are used to find, correct, and prevent fraud and abuse in medical care facilities. Compliance plans correlate to different medical records by helping prevent mistreatment of a patient’s sensitive personal information. Compliance plans also help prevent fraud and abuse by a medical care facility’s staff. It is important for every member of the medical staff to properly follow the facility’s compliance plan to prevent civil or criminal litigation. If a facility fails to comply with the compliance plan they could face lawsuits from patient’s or fines from government agencies.
It is accepted that medical students need to train on cadavers before moving on to living patients. The neomort could allow this medical training to extend much further. I think it would be easily justified to do more experimental procedures on the neomort in order to bring more confident skills to procedures on the living. Gaylin also extends this experimentation to the testing of drugs on the neomort. This experimentation could be attack as unreliable.
The capitalists or pharmaceutical companies are in it to make a profit. They come up with chemical cures so we need to rely on doctors so they can make money. Marx would say Capitalism is making us sick. The conditions of work and the alienation of the workers is making them sick. Therefore we need to rely on the doctors and we pay back to them what we earn from them to make us feel better.
