After declaring Jahi McMath brain dead, the doctors at the Children’s Hospital ordered her to be taken off mechanical ventilation. Her mother, Latasha Winkfield, refused to accept that her daughter was dead and incapable of recovering (du Toit & Miller, 2016). Winkfield believed her daughter was still alive because McMath was breathing and her heart was still beating (du Toit & Miller, 2016). McMath’s family disagreed with the doctors’ report and filed a lawsuit to prevent life support from being discontinued (Paola, 2014).

The appellant of the Cruzan v. Missouri case was the parents of Nancy Cruzan, Joe Cruzan and Joyce Cruzan. The Cruzans argued that when they made the decision to hook Nancy up to a feeding and hydration tube they were unaware that Nancy would be in the vegetative state permanently, they thought she would make it (Cruzan by Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health. (n.d.). Oyez. Retrieved December 8, 2015, from https://www.oyez.org/cases/1989/88-1503).

Many comedians have been talking a great deal about politics and the government as a way to spread a variety of messages to the community expressing how they feel about how things are going for America. Therefore many comedians have become more popular in this past election season and with Trump 's new presidency. Stephen Colbert an American comedian, television host, and author uses his spotlight in media as a way to attack President Trump and his administration within his comedy. Colbert uses Juvenalian satire and satirical techniques while discussing politics to reveal his opinions as a way to spread messages to society about the Trump Administration and uses his comedic platform to do so.

Judgment was passed on the 29th May 2003. The plaintiff, the Public Advocate of Victoria was a limited guardian of BWV, a woman aged 68 years old, who suffered from fatal and progressive dementia. The plaintiff was appointed the guardian of BWV to make medical decisions on her behalf, due to BWV’s unconsciousness with no brain activity or bodily functions for 3 years. BWV received fluid and nutrition required to keep her alive by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). BWV’s brain stem functions normally but her cortex is damaged. She has no prospect of improvement, hence making PEG medical treatment pointless (as witnessed by 3 medical practitioners – Dr. Michael Ashby; Professor Malcolm Horne; Dr. Michael Woodward). Consulting medical professionals led to the conclusion that upon treatment cessation, BWV

Based on the information provided, Oliver’s allegations were not supported with documentation, but merely opinion and hearsay. In Oliver’s affidavit, she stated that she “read” in the discharge summary that Dr. Brock was consulted and assisted with treatment. Although the supporting documentation of the previous statement is important, the more pressing issue becomes whether a doctor-patient relationship was formed in order to support the allegations.

In “How to be a ‘Woman Programmer,’” first published in The New York Times, Ellen Ullman argues that there is great prejudice against women in the workplace. Specifically, Ullman thinks that such prejudice exists in the deeper parts of the more technical fields such as computer programming. While encouraging women to avoid confronting men who show their prejudice against them, Ullman nevertheless points out the idea that women should stick to their passion for their work. For Ullman, it is the next best thing that women can do, apart from being a practical solution. However, I think that women should not be afraid to call their male coworkers out whenever women experience sexual prejudice in the workplace regardless of their position. Today, there are laws that equip women with the power to bring erring male coworkers to justice. After all, if the point is to make the genders equal, women should learn to assert their rights.

I believe that the hospital should take the blame for the damages and suffering that Kelly Niles endured. This decision reflects the quality of care that Niles received while he was at the hospital and also correlates to his physical status. The neurosurgeons stated that his status would have been better if they got to him sooner and were able to treat him in time, but due to the negligence throughout his whole treatment he is left with the ability to only move his eyes and neck. The fact that there was doubt that Kelly would survive the next few days after his surgery supports my decision that what the court ruled was reasonable and appropriate. Kelly “remained in a coma for 46 days before gradually regaining consciousness.” Kelly is totally disabled and his condition can’t ever be improved with medical attention or surgical treatments which furthers my final decision (“Niles v. City of San Rafael,”

The beneficiary was an 87 year old woman. She went to the doctor “… for the

With regard to Ms. Green’s claims against O’Brien, it is apparent that Ms. Green was O’Brien’s client, and that O’Brien owed Ms. Green a duty. Should this case proceed to trial we do not anticipate that we would argue to a jury that O’Brien did not neglect this duty. Rather, there are serious questions as to whether “the negligence resulted in and was the proximate cause of loss to the client.” Kendall v. Rogers, 181 Md. 606, 611-12 (1943). Indeed, the estate will have to demonstrate that Ms. Green would have prevailed in proving that one or both health care provider defendants committed medical negligence that caused her to fall into the diabetic coma.

Cruzan V. Director, Missouri Health Department is a case involving a young lady, Nancy Cruzon, who became incompetent and in a vegetative state following an automobile accident in the State of Missouri in 1983.She was being kept alive by artificial feeding via a gastrostomy tube. As it became apparent that she will not recover her cognitive functions her parents requested the hospital employees to terminate the artificial feedings

The Coddling of the American Mind, basically means cleaning campuses of words, ideas, and subjects that might cause someone discomfort or that may be offensive. Many authors have written about this occurrence with others having to face lawsuits for having not followed the written code in their writings. In Jeannie Suk’s article for the New Yorker, she asks her fellow professors at Harvard not to teach rape law or even mention the word violate because it could make the students become distressed. Laura Kipnis, a professor at Northwestern University, had a complaint filed against her for writing an essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education talking of campus politics of sexual paranoia. The coddling of the American mind has led to the oversensitivity of students who cannot take a non-threatening joke and whose professors have to be careful of the words they use in their lectures.

The Cruzan verses Director, Missouri Department of Health was a United States Supreme Court case involving a young adult, Nancy Cruzan that was deemed incompetent. The case caught widespread attention as it was the first case ever heard by the court that discussed how and when families could decide to withdraw nourishment or medical treatment in order to bring about the death of an incompetent family member. (Wold, Judith & Demi, 1991). For 8 years, Nancy Cruzan had been in a vegetative state showing no sign of improvement. After being in the hospital for over a month, Cruzan’s family went to the courts to request the artificial feeding and hydration be terminated so that their daughter could die a dignified

In today’s entertainment industry, whether it be books, films, advertisements, or television shows, white people are depicted terribly. Likewise, in her essay, Judith Ortiz Cofer tells of her struggles of being a Puerto Rican woman. Men sing songs to her, like “La Bamba” or “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina,” just because she is Hispanic. They think she is promiscuous based on the way that she dresses, but it is really just because it is hot in Puerto Rico.

15). Vickie Sorensen rashly applied a substance down the baby’s throat while Sorensen’s daughter sought an oxygen bottle. The first oxygen bottle was broken consequently Camille Wilcox ran to find another bottle. Sorensen was going to use a suction device, ‘“However, Bleak said, the grandmother stated that the device was too large to accomplish suction on a newborn”’ (Scott, par. 18). In the end, they could not find any equipment to help the struggling baby. The twin’s grandmother, a pediatric nurse, said, “she was shocked by Sorensen’s lack of equipment and preparation and said she believed that, with proper equipment, she could have kept the baby boy alive” (Scott, par. 20). Additionally, Sorensen was seen “using a technique that was 12 years out of date” (Alberty, par. 17). This was reported by a medic after a call was made to 911, and an ambulance arrived to the scene. The baby boy was reported dead once the mother was transported to an actual hospital (Scott). Furthermore, Vickie Sorensen did not have a medical license to practice. The first step in suing a doctor, everyone must take them up against the licensure board; however, Sorensen did not have one. Clearly her actions matched those of an unlicensed nurse. Midwives are a little different since they rely on years of experiences rather than actual medical
