Standard of care was used in Sandra’s case because any other patient that family could not be reached, they would have done the same procedure. This process mainly revolves around trust, meaning that the doctors want to be trusted at this time. Based on her condition, they will do anything to keep Sandra alive and in living condition. I am pretty sure that any other patient that comes in with similar circumstances, will get the same treatment as Sandra and will thank the doctors and his help later. 2.
All of these offenses resulted in fines for Tyson still no imprisonment. I honestly do feel that if your corporation is the result of deaths due to negligence toward safety procedures multiple times then eventually all the money in the world won’t do you any good because your organization is at fault.

LIT1 TASK 2 Situation A Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 According to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, covered employers are required to allow their employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave during any 12 month period. An employee can take the unpaid leave for family or medical reasons to help balance the demands of the workplace with family needs such as the birth of a newborn child, taking a medical leave because of a serious health condition, or caring for an immediate family member with a health condition. Any previous health benefits must be maintained during the leave. Employees are eligible if they have been at the company at least 12 months and worked at least 1,250 hours during those last 12 months of employment. Since Employee A has been with the company for two years, and is taking time off to care for an immediate family member, in this case his children, he meets the requirements to be eligible for FMLA leave.
(Petrick, 2011). The act specifies that employees who have worked for an employer for at least 12 months are eligible to take unpaid, job-protected leave of up to 12 work weeks in a year to care for a child with a serious health condition. (Petrick, 2011). While workplace flexibility is voluntary, businesses are progressively approving the idea to accommodate the needs of single parents and other employees with special circumstances.

In the second part of the "Sicko" video it talks about the people who do have coverage, but when their primary care doctor orders tests, to see a specialist, and even surgeries the person gets told no thats not covered. For some it meant death and the person ended up dying a few months to a year later. Some people started hiring attorneys to get the health insurance to pay or they sued the company. Which lead the video to talk about what the health insurance company does to maximize profits by digging deep into peoples health files going back years and years to find one little thing so a policy could be canceled instead of having to pay out money. One guy got fed up with all of the health insurance coverage issues and posted something online and within a short period of time started getting responses. "
If it is something that comes up unexpectedly, the employee must provider proof from the medical provider (an unexpected family illness). During the unpaid leave, though, the employee is still entitled to their benefits, and once the employee returns from their leave they will be given the same position or an equivalent one, same pay, and same benefits. In 2009, the FMLA was amended. The amendments to the FMLA Act were called the Final Regulations. The Final Regulations put into practice two significant new military family leave provisions for eligible specified family members.
employee’s wife had given birth to twin babies prematurely and she needed him to be present. The former department manager acted legally within the scope of his authority and The Family and Medical Leave Act in granting this leave.

He requested back pay for the 11 weeks of leave and was informed that back pay for this time off was not provided for in The
Lastly, the amount of personal bankruptcies will be reduced. Many Americans file for bankruptcy because of their medical bills, if the rates go down and more people can afford coverage then it would make sense that the amount of bankruptcies would also go down. Even though the pros all help and seem great the cons to this policy also holds valid points. First, “18 million of the uninsured will be forced to go under Medicaid, while the rest will have to accept another government program. Even so, millions will remain uninsured,” (Pros and cons of Obama care June 29, 2012).
Research shows that starting at age sixty-five, elderly drivers are more likely to be involved in deadly, multicar accidents. Although seniors understandably value the independence that comes with having a driver’s license, some people should not be behind the wheel. Should one license last forever, or should elderly drivers be required to undergo periodic reevaluation?” We want to decrease in deadly car accidents, so we should start these evaluations, because there might be many elderly who still have the capabilities to drive but there’re many who aren’t capable. About a month ago I tuned in a local news channel and they were talking about a deadly car accident, two survived but 2 others died and one of the drivers was a 63 year old man, who
