It played off a common superstition of the time: a snake that had been cut into pieces could come back to life if you joined the sections together before sunset.

For example, the Boston Gazette recreated the snake with the words "Unite and Conquer" coming from its mouth. 1774 Franklin's disjointed snake continued to be used as symbol of American unity, and American independence.

Physician Assisted Suicide Why is it only ethical to die “naturally”, after a long illness filled with highly “un-natural” life extending medical procedures? Over the last twenty years, physician assisted suicides have become a sensitive issue in governmental offices as whether to legalize such an option. Even though many religions prohibit suicide and the intentional killing of others, and some believe it violates a portion of a doctors’ Hippocratic Oath, Physician Assisted Suicide should be a legal option for those with terminal diseases or conditions because reasonable laws can be constructed which prevent abuse and still protect the value of human life. Physician assisted suicide is the voluntary termination of one's own life by administration

Introduction A hospital setting should always be one to help or facilitate the process for a patient to feel and heal better. Never event is a serious and costly health care error that should have not happened in a hospital environment. (Colorado Business Group on Health, 2012). Falls and Trauma Fall and trauma can be prevented.

History of Injury: Professional medical treatment should be had quickly after any believed dislocation. For the most part, a dislocated shoulder is kept in its current position by use of a splint or sling. A pillow placed between the arm and torso can be of use for support and comfort. Strong analgesics are needed to calm any pain of the dislocation. Emergency department care is for rejoining the shoulder to its natural state with procedures called reducution.
The study of medicine dates back to early 6th century BC, mainly coming from India. From those studies and the several studies continuing after that, remedies and concoctions were made in the hopes of treating and curing diseases and discomforts. Whether it be from a philosopher, medicine man, apothecary, or chemist, the study of pharmaceuticals has been a long and ever advancing journey. Much recorded pharmaceutical knowledge has been recorded around the world since these beginning times. In ancient Egypt, there was the Kahun Papyrus of 2,000 BC filled with veterinary medicine.
“Never events” and hospital-acquired conditions are two terms used to identify highly preventable and substantially serious medical errors or conditions that occur during hospital stay. Error reduction and improvement of healthcare systems remain a top priority of many national organizations and agencies that aim to decrease and prevent such incidences from happening. Consequences of these errors are high and can affect patient health, hospital accreditation, and nurse licensure. As a result, hospitals and nurses are continually implementing and practicing evidenced-based safe practices in a nationwide effort to reduce, minimize, and ultimately eliminate “never events”. “Never events” are also known as “serious reportable events” (SREs), an official term adopted and used by the National Quality Forum (NQF).
Introduction. The title of this assignment; ‘The Importance of Infection Control for the Individual, Community and the Workplace’ in itself requires little or no explanation. If infections are not prevented and/or controlled they will spread and as a result the consequences are quite undesirable; people can get very sick indeed and in some cases they may even die. In our workplace, which is a healthcare environment, the importance of infection control is even greater and cannot be understated. We care for patients, be they elderly and weak, sick or both.
