Dann Kyte Case Summary

In Nancy Mairs’ article for The New York Times, “Disability”, published in 1987, she expresses her distaste with the media's representation of handicapped people. Mairs, who struggled with multiple sclerosis herself, clearly and sharply conveys this disgust by stating, “I’m not, for instance, Ms. MS, a walking, talking embodiment of a chronic incurable degenerative disease.” (Mairs 13), and that she is actually, “the advertisers’ dream: Ms. Great American Consumer. And yet the advertisers, who determine nowadays who will get represented publicly and who will not, deny the existence of me and my kind absolutely”(Mairs 14). Mairs is greatly upset that disabled people are defined by their disabilities and, therefore, are underrepresented in public media. This might lead to one asking themselves, but why are they? And the answer, according to Mairs, is quite simple, “To depict disabled people in the ordinary activities of daily life is to admit that there is something ordinary about disability itself, that it may enter anybody’s life”(Mairs 14). Mairs concludes by pointing out how this effacement could have dangerous consequences for both disabled people and, as she called everyone else, TAPs (Temporarily Abled Persons) alike. Treating disabilities as an abnormal characteristic (as opposed to viewing them “as a normal characteristic, one that complicates but does not ruin human existence” (Mairs 15)) can cause one of these repercussions, as it makes the

All too often in regards to medical treatment, physicians are taught everything known about the scientific approaches to disease but still fail to realize the important details of how the disease impacts the individual. Many physicians do not show empathy to their patients and instead just focus on the current diagnosis and the probable outcome. This creates a divide between patient and provider and can even lead to negative feelings of the patient that far outweigh the diagnosis itself. A feeling of hopelessness and despair may accompany the empty feeling that comes with failing to explore the patient’s perspective on care. In this essay, Parrish states,

Americans with disabilities make up the largest minority group in the United States. Approximately fifty million people in the United States live with physical or mental handicaps. This minority group is unique in that it is made up of people from all socioeconomic classes, genders and races. Mental and physical impairments do not discriminate. As with other minorities, Americans with disabilities face unique challenges and discriminatory behaviors. For centuries, disabled people had to battle irrational fears and stereotypes due to the lack of medical understanding. The first demand for equal treatment for disabled people came in the 1960s. The struggle for disability rights has followed a similar pattern to many other civil rights movements – first negative stereotypes must be challenged, followed rallying for political and institutional change and lobbying for the self-determination of a minority community. As a result the examples of the African American civil rights and women’s rights movements encouraged the disability rights movement, and after decades of campaigning and lobbying, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Kurland 633 Court Street, Reading, Pa. 19601 (610) 478-6000 was advised of the identity of Investigator Sean P. Brennan and of the confidential nature and purpose of the interview, Kurland, provided the following information:

ii. Unconscious physician bias. Another theme in the reading that related back to class was the unconscious biases of doctors influence their interactions with patients, with consequences for patient outcomes. These unconscious biases affect interaction through the doctor’s communication. Establishing a basic understanding of treatment and diagnosis can foster better patient outcomes. An example of unconscious physician bias was Abraham 's focus on former secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Dr. Sullivan, in chapter eight. Dr. Sullivan’s campaign focused on the individual choice in adopting healthy lifestyle choices from diet to exercise. Skipping over racial disparities, the unconscious bias inferred through his words was that he considered the patient to blame whenever they fell ill.

In Kyllo v. United States (2001), the Supreme Court upheld the sanctity of the home, even in the advent of new technology. In this case the government believed Kyllo was growing marijuana in his home, agents tsed a thermal imaging device, not readily available to the public, and detected hot areas that were consistent with growing lamps. A judge issued a warrant based on the thermal imaging results, informant information, and utility bills. In a 5-4 decision the Court determined that the government cannot mechanically measure the warmth in a home, with a device that is not in general public use, unless it has probable cause for doing so.

In the article “Doctors Should Stop Treatment That Is Futile,” Kevin T. Keith argues that doctors should stop giving useless treatments to patients that won’t get any better. His audience is the healthcare network and the families of patients and he uses a serious tone to get their attention. Kevins purpose is to persuade doctors into stopping ineffective treatments. He uses ethos, pathos, and logos so support his claim.

When you see someone suffering from a disability or some type of disease you might not always think it will happen to you. No matter what the disease or disability is, it’s always going to be an inconvenience for the person that has the condition. Some people are out in the open about their disease, while other are quiet and in the dark about it. I believe that even though people have these issues in their life, they should embrace it and continue to be who they are. They may think why me? Why was I given this burden? Even though this disease may stand in the way of them doing specific things they should come to terms with it and do all the other things that it does let them do.

As a largely a visual world, pictures, television, movies and billboards fill our society; what we read and hear is beginning to not have the same resonance as it once did. This ever changing society presents a multitude of positives and oftentimes, negatives. This is especially true for populations with health ailments that are not discernibly physical. For when we can’t see an ailment, we are not as sensitive to it. Take for instance you are walking down a street and a blind man is making his way towards you. You take notice of him- you can’t help not to. His glasses and walking cane are obvious indicators of his condition. But for someone with ailments that don’t necessarily show on the outside, people are far less sensitive.

Korda is still liable on the mortgage obligation commence bank because while Korda may have dissociated. Dissociated partners remain liable to partnership crediots for partnership liabilities incurred while they were still a partner. In light of this, the fact that Korda and Kim purchased the building to gether while Korda was still a partner and not after she dissociated, she is liable. Furthermore, liability may be eliminated by the process of novation. Which requires two conditions to be met: The continuing partners release a dissociated parter from a partnership debt and a partnership crediots releases the disocciatd partner from liability o nthe same obligation. This is quite similar to the delegation of duties which we studied in Business

The doctor-patient relationship always has been and will remain an essential basis of care, in which high quality information is gathered and procedures are made as well as provided. This relationship is a critical foundation to medical ethics that all doctors should attempt to follow and live by. Patients must also have confidence in their physicians to trust the solutions and work around created to counter act certain illnesses and disease. Doctor-patient relationships can directly be observed in both the stories and poems of Dr. William Carlos Williams as well as in the clinical tales of Dr. Oliver Sacks. Both of these doctors have very similar and diverse relationships with multiple patients

What if I told you that the medication you were prescribed by your doctor, and take on a daily basis is not needed? Would that make you lose confidence in your physician? The first question that would come into your mind would probably be, “Well, then why am I taking this?” Doctors are overzealous in writing out prescriptions for their patients without properly diagnosing them. The main issues on this topic are that drug treatments are not always necessary, doctors are being compensated by the pharmaceutical companies for promoting their products, doctors just simply don’t have enough time to properly diagnose their patients, and the new healthcare act is affecting how doctors treats your issues. This essay will thoroughly prove these statements.

Individuals with serious mental illness are doubly affected by their disease; not only do they experience the often debilitating symptoms of their condition, but they must also endure mundane mental health stigmas and prejudices. Stigmatized attitudes are perceived to be one of the greatest impediments to living a complete and fulfilling life. Stigma has been defined as a combination of three related problems: ignorance, prejudice and discrimination (Rose, Thornicroft, Pinfold, & Kassam, 2007). Ignorance implies a lack of knowledge, prejudice entails negative attitudes, and discrimination involves exclusionary actions against people deemed to be different. Two forms of stigma are commonly distinguished in literature. Public stigma describes the attitudes of society towards people with mental illness, while self-stigma results from the internalization of prejudice by people who suffer from mental health conditions (Corrigan, Powell, & Rüsch, 2012). The World Health Organization announced that stigma was the most crucial obstacle to overcome for a community to functioning effectively and efficiently (Ontario Hospital Association, 2013).

This week’s discussion dealt with Individuals and Disabilities. Over the years, people who have a “disability" have been subjected to prejudice and more. And the first way to diminish someone is through language, by using words or labels to identify a person as "less-than," as "the others—not like us," and so forth. Once a person has been identified this way, it makes
