Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is poorly understood and potentially lethal form of child abuse. It is characterized by a parent or guardian’s deliberate fabrication or induction of medical symptoms in their child, for the purpose of receiving medical attention (U.S. National Library of Medicine, et al. 2011). While this disorder can involve any primary caregiver, it is usually the child’s mother who’s responsible for the abusive behavior. The children of Munchausen’s mothers are frequently hospitalized for complaints of a group of symptoms that do not fit any known disease or disorder.
the abuse which took place for over a year saw residents being bullied mocked and tormented because they didn't have the mental capacity to remember the abuse. the court was told that a man had his foot stamped on deliberately and another was tipped out of their wheelchair. the victims that were offended was seven men and one women all aged in their 70s or 80s with the eldest aged 85. the court heard that they had all previously been suspended in 2011 by accusations already but they soon returned to work after being handed warnings as a result of internal investigation. it was several months later that the arrest were made after health and safety inspectors were written to. the fact that they all had already been suspended and nothing came from it isn't serious enough.
Violence against Emergency Room Nurses Becky Hetland Western Governors University Violence against Emergency Room Nurses Research suggests that workplace violence is a serious concern for emergency room nurses, because emergency room nurses frequently are physically and verbally abused, not only by the patients but by the patient’s family members as well. Most cases of abuse go un-reported as most nurses feel like they just have to take the abuse. If a person went into the local grocery store and became physically or verbally abusive to the clerk the police would be called and that person would be punished for their actions. One question to be asked is when did it become okay to let a patient or their family be physically or verbally abusive to a nurse? Nurses have let it become part of their culture to accept that it is just part of the job to be physically or verbally abused.
They did allow living the AIDS affected people in society, but they neglected them and stayed away from them. There were bad remoras about AIDS in Bonang society. If anyone shared this thing they lost everything, but if they kept in mind it killed that person gradually. Writer clearly shows AIDS in some characters, but the effect was vague.

Elderly patients mistreated in care homes After investigating some of the mistreatment of elderly people in care homes from news articles on the internet mostly from the BBC there is significant evidence to suggest a lack of certain life quality factors in the care homes written about. The most startling being an elderly woman with Alzheimers and arthritis being physically abused and bullied. The article reported footage (caught on hidden cameras that her daughter had positioned) of the elderly lady (Maria Worroll) being slapped, manually rolled over and hauled into a bed when a hoist should have been used by her carers. The fact that more than one had assaulted her in this way implies that the care workers were conforming to inappropriate norms at the work place, resulting in Ms Worroll suffering considerably. This abuse probably left Ms Worrol stripped of her dignity, privacy, social support, any form of choice or autonomy and undoubtedly made the woman in question very scared and confused.
Juanita W Williams SOC 220 05 August 2013 Heather Davidson Pressing Social Problems We are faced with many diverse social problems in our country alone. We are affected by them in some aspect and need to formulize a solution for them. This essay will briefly talk about three social problems that still exist in our country. Abortion: There are diverse views on the topic of abortion and it has been the theme of controversy for decades. We detest serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer who took other people’ lives but give modest or no thought about doctors festooned in scrubs who saunter up and down our hospital corridors and slay tens of thousands of innocent human beings every year.
A review of the Winterbourne View panorama documentary When I saw on the documentary Winterbourne View hospital this morning, Winterbourne View hospital was a private residential hospital for adults with learning disabilities and autism accommodating approximately about 30 people. A senior nurse named Terry Bryan blew the whistle about the abuse happening in the hospital with vulnerable people.
