The mission of the Neuroscience Service Line is “to provide excellent comprehensive and innovative patient care and access for all Neurological and Spinal Disorders.” The Vision is “to be the premier Neuroscience Center in the Southeast and nation leader in innovative Neurological and Neurosurgical care with global recognition and timely access.” The NSICU offers innovative, comprehensive care for patients with neurological disorders while advancing treatment and mechanisms of neurological diseases, disorders, and injuries of the brain and spinal cord. An integrative approach is used that combines multiple clinical disciplines and extensive research to provide the best possible, evidence-based, health care. Tim Porter-O’Grady mentions, "not only must we close the door on the old models of health delivery and clinical work, but they must turn around and face the future, viewing the entire landscape to develop a workable vision", (Porter-O’Grady & Malloch, 2015, p. 11) this concept is evident at

The social context influencing Edith’s diagnosis and care began in the emergency room. Depending on the hospital and the time of day there is not always a radiologist available to read CT scans for the emergency room doctors so often they are left to interpret the scans themselves. Unfortunately, this may have been the case for Edith’s scan, therefore eliminating a positive social influence to help check for errors (pg.97). The ER doctor would have benefited from getting another perspective on the scan. Another physician may have focused more on the basal ganglia infract and less on the deterioration of Edith’s white matter of her brain.

Three years later, she became a director of neurosurgery at the children’s hospital. Under her guidance, the department was soon seen as one of the best in the country. In addition to her work, Canady conducted research and taught as a professor of neurosurgery at Wayne State University. She maintained a busy schedule until her retirement from the Children’s Hospital in 2001. After retiring, Canady moved to Florida. When she learned that there were no pediatric neurosurgeons in her immediate area, she began to practice part-time at Pensacola’s Sacred Heart Hospital.

Oliver Sacks, M.D. is a physician, a best-selling author, and a professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine (Oliver Sacks, 2016). Dr. Sacks is best known for his collections of neurological case histories and contributed the essay for Payne’s book. His historical narrative of a time when American institutions provided the best and the worst of care bring a new perspective to Payne’s images. Dr. Sack’s overview of the asylums of that time sums

The Hospital’s internal communications, which have not been provided to the Practice, appear to lend support to the existence of the Practice’s claim of an oral modification of the recruitment agreements. In an April 25, 2014 internal memorandum from Debbie Daniel, the Hospital’s Controller, to Kenneth Shafer, the Hospital’s Assistant Administrator at the time, Ms. Daniel states:

We all have role models present in our everyday lives. In the healthcare world it is best known as “health care heroes.” Health Care heroes possess personality traits such as: values, morals, ethics, integrity, and trustworthiness which makes communicating with workers and patients a pleasant experience. In the vast history of healthcare professions, there have been a plethora of health care hero examples. One important figure in healthcare history was Elizabeth Blackwell. With the help of biography.com, hws.edu, nlm.nmh.gov I was able to recieve insight on Elizabeth Blackwell’s proffesonal and personal life.

So after her family was stable, she decided to move to Henderson, Kentucky, as a teacher, and then to North and South Carolina, where she taught school while reading medicine privately. Then, when Blackwell was in her mid 20’s, her friend became sick with a terminal disease. This friend was extremely embarrassed to go to a male gynecologist doctor. Blackwell felt concern, realizing women might not get the medical attention that they need because of the embarrassment caused by needing to see male gynecologists and obstetricians. Blackwell was interested in medicine before she talked to her friend, but was even more sure of her career choice after the incident.

I have always been a firm believer in self-exploration and diversification. Though I started my medical career in Pakistan, I moved to US to learn and experience the medical distinction. I started appreciating the value of evidence-based medicine and best practice guidelines in the western medicine. I always desired to be a critical care physician. I got chance to learn and experience Neurocritical Care for the first time at UNM. This experience facilitated my special interest in Neuroscience. Recently, I completed my basic training in Neurology and am one step closer to my fundamental goal of getting the best available training in Neurocritical

“Qui tam pro domino rege quam pro se ipso in hac parte sequitur” is Latin for meaning “Who brings the action for the King as well as for himself” (Blumenreich, 1999). An abbreviated form, “qui tam” is a current writ in the United States under the False Claims Act. This act allows a private individual or “whistleblower” with knowledge of present or past fraud committed against the federal government to bring suit on the government’s behalf. As a student embarking on a new career in anesthesia, I feel it very important to have an understanding of a lawsuit brought by the Minnesota Association of Nurse Anesthetists (MANA) against Allina Health Systems, several Minnesota hospitals and a number of anesthesiologists. It is one in which has kept the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) profession thriving and has also been instrumental in bringing about regulatory changes regarding reimbursement of anesthesia professionals.

It is Hard to believe that this man was the first in his entire family to graduate college. A man who started out with almost nothing has built his medical empire that specializes in taking care of patients who are teeming with illness along with severe mental diseases. People who had nowhere to turn to before can now receive help and treatment. The man who is responsible for this, Dr. Cameron Gilbert. What many people including myself find very odd is that Dr. Gilbert didn’t go to college in the hopes of becoming what he is today, but a neuropsychologist. In an interview with Dr. Gilbert there were many things I could have asked; however, this profile is on how a man with a P.H.D. in geriatric neuropsychology finds himself the captain of not just a vessels but an entire fleet of ships.

None of the activities cited by Dr. Stout rise to the high level necessary to support a UDTPA claim. Moreover, the statements allegedly made are insufficient to support an UDPTA claim because they are opinion or “mere puffery.” General statements of comparison or superiority are puffery and are not actionable as a matter of law. See, e.g., Longman v. Food Lion, Inc., 197 F.3d 675, 685 (4th Cir.1999); J.I. Case Threshing Mach. Co. v. Feezer, 152 N.C. 516, 67 S.E. 1004, 1006 (1910). Dr. Stout could not have reasonably thought that these statements were more than opinion on the part of the Hospital’s CEO. This is especially true in light of the

California business law offers considerable freedom for workers to work where and for whom they wish, effectively voiding nearly all noncompetetition agreements in the state. While this may seem like an onerous burden on businesses, the corporate law attorneys at DPA Law Group explain that this eliminates legal ambiguity while offering enough protection for businesses concerned with their trade secrets.

Over spring break, I chose to apply anatomy and physiology outside the classroom by accompanying my grandpa, Dr. James Allen, on an independent medical examination. He continues to practice neurology, even at age 81, through a business he created with my mom called I.M.E. Inc. She coordinates with a handful of older neurologists to create flexible schedules that accommodate their age and availability. Mr. Gene Girard, the husband of Minnehaha’s well-loved substitute teacher Mrs. Deb Girard, owns a similar company. My grandpa’s role in I.M.E. Inc. is to provide a client with an objective evaluation of a claimant, the injured party, based on a record review (such as medical history, X-rays, and MRI reports) and physical examination. He doesn’t treat the injury, but instead determines the claimant’s stage of recovery and what treatments can

Tony Fields enjoyed a 27-year tenure with the Engineering and Computer Development Program at the University of California Los Angeles. His career saw several ground-breaking advances in the diagnosis and treatment of neurophysiology related diseases. Sadly, personal circumstances forced him to retire at what many suspect was the height of his career; something that he was admittedly not quite ready for. The institution faced a serious problem because when Tony retired, a wealth of information walked out of the door with him. As everyone feared, Tony retired without a suitable replacement chosen and once a new one was hired, he was tasked with finding a path forward

Typically, it is thought that doctors and the rest of the staff at health care facilities are trustworthy. However, Robbie’s neurologist, Dr. Abbasac, proves this thought wrong. Robbie’s condition got worse while being under her supervision, because she kept changing the treatment and increasing the dose of the medications. Due to the doctor’s actions, Robbie’s seizures became more frequent and lasted longer. He also started getting skin rashes, and his behavior was dramatically changed.
