Diagnosis Analysis

When the doctor meets his patient, a young girl, he first addresses the symptoms that were present. For instance, the doctor notes her flushed face, rapid breathing, and high fever. However, he then veers off track and proceeds to describe her in a manner that is unbecoming in a doctor-patient relationship, where he almost comes across as pedophilic. In fact, the doctor at one point states that he has fallen in love with the girl. And while doctors are supposed to care for their patients, there is a line between care and love.

Giving myself time to read up on nursing experiences, attending more clinical practice labs, participating and watching these duties in the health care setting will allow me to develop a secure level of confidence the next time that this type of situation may occur. Staying in the room allowed me to experience the feeling of support while looking past social norms and how they are challenged. I met my personal values, and I believe that one should respect another person`s privacy. This understanding allowed me to be there to support the resident during her time of need. In the article `starting out` by Jane Schulz, a nursing student shares her experience of helping her colleague assist an elderly patient with daily care. Observing the compassion and care between nurse and patient from fundamental tasks, she took away a valued lesson of how our support and caring methods affect an individual. My relation to this story allowed me to reflect on the effects my care and supporting actions had on our patient.

Regarding access to healthcare, transgender individuals often face the most obstructive barriers when attempting to receive care. Whether they are seeking access to hormones, therapy, general health services, reproductive healthcare, or specialty healthcare, transgender patients typically cannot get what they need without jumping through many hoops or hiding their identities. This occurs especially so in cases of intersecting identities -- where an individual is not just transgender, but is transgender and a person of color, disabled, gay, indigenous, undocumented, poor, etc. These intersecting identities interact in multifaceted ways to produce even more barriers for trans individuals seeking healthcare due to healthcare provider bias, insurance requirements, and doctors’ general unwillingness to help coupled with inaccessibility founded on racism, transphobia, homophobia, mental illness stigmatization, etc.

Despite his lack of a medical license or ability to practice medicine, everyone goes to him when they need help. They do not have the luxury of finding a real doctor or going to an actual hospital, so they full-heartedly accept what is available to them without question. Accepting what is available without question is a common theme seen throughout the story.

The patient's idea of the physician is in contrast to the narcissistic patient's contempt, and disregard for the physician, who is keeping a sense of superiority over illness. Only the most senior physician in

The second most likely diagnosis is dehydration. According to Arant and Canavan (2009), the diagnosis can be determined by if there has been vomiting, diarrhea, or decreased oral intake. The patient has had decreased tear production, a capillary refill time of more than two seconds, and decreased skin turgor (Arant & Canavan, 2009). All of this points to dehydration.

First, the relationship between a doctor and patient is a valuable asset in today’s medical environment. In this case, Merry didn’t understand that her diagnosis was worsening after refusing treatment, her autonomy was to have control of her own life decisions. As a result, Merry’s family chose to deny

Sounds good. Can you also send as email if possible. This way is more faster for everybody. Here is the information I will need.

Even in the case of the Phan family, when the father stated that the mother had taken the child’s medication, he should have asked why she had taken the medication. He would have quickly learned that because of their culture mother often times did this to protect their children. Had he asked more question, he could have used this opportunity to educate the family on the dangers of taking medications that aren’t prescribed for the individual. He could have taken the time to build up the Phan’s trust in Western Medicine, and established a good rapport with this family and their child. Instead, both families left his office in a worse situation than when they arrived. Now, because of his actions their trust in Dr. Williams and Western Medicine may cause them to not visit him or any other Doctor again. The lack of trust could lead to a further delay in the treatment of the children and cause them to come sicker. As far as his interaction with Ms. Reese, he assumes that because this family has private insurance that she understands and will comply with instructions. But Nurse Rita has a valid concern.

These studies were published in response to the growing visibility of individuals who cross dressed, gender disguised, or to use the twenty-first century umbrella term, transgender. As a result of these studies, professionals concluded that such individuals suffer from mental disorders. Reports like these were published into the twentieth century. While these studies were conducted and written by doctors who were not and did not identify as gender nonconformists. One of the first known transgender persons to publish during this time was the British doctor, Michael Dillon. His 1946 work, “Self: A Study in Ethics and Endocrinology,” defends transgender people identify as a gender that is different from the one assigned to them by doctors. Dillon has undergone female-to-male sex change surgery. He also argues against doctor’s claims that transgender people suffer from mental disorders. This book failed to reach a broad audience and as a consequence, the 1950s and 1960s also brought numerous studies about transgender individuals by doctors who continued the tradition of claiming transgender people are

They did not see morality as part of the medical equation.” What Maslin means is that doctors, rather medical students, care about science and finding cures more than the person they are treating. Not only are people’s lives at stake, but their sense of freedom of living their lives the way they want to. Doctors are just now beginning to realize that their patients are human. Meaning that if someone dies, their family will resent the doctor because they feel like all doctors care about is the next treatment and what the next course of action is.

I completely agree with you when you said having Diagnostic teams is important in providing quality healthcare. A holistic approach should be taken in treating patients instead of just independently working to find the diagnosis. It is important to acknowledge every profession that is involved in caring for a patient. In the ever changing world of health care, it is becoming very difficult for one individual to properly treat and care for individuals independently. These is because of the complex nature of some treatments.

Medical practitioners have a history of not accurately reflecting the understandings of people who trans gender, dating back to the 1800s when they upheld the sexually dimorphic model that states that everyone has “one true sex” (Enke, lecture 2/18). Even in the early 1900s, medical professionals advised trans people to take hormones more closely aligned with their designated sex at birth, as it would help them “feel better”. However, medical treatment of people who trans has improved dramatically over the years. Now, in the 21st century, there are laws in place to prohibit discrimination against people who trans. In order to get from that point to this point, it took growth in both the trans community and the medical community. Medicine mimics society just as society mimics medicine, and as the trans community grew more forthright and educated from those within its community as well as the medical field, the medical field grew more understanding of people who trans. It is all a cycle.

Classic interactions between patients and doctors rely heavily on medical competence. The doctor, the supposed superior in the arrangement, acts as a symbol for scientific proficiency while the patient exists as a sponge. While extensive knowledge is nonnegotiable in the field, empathy is a key component in ensuring proper diagnoses and sustaining healthy, impartial interactions. Margaret Edson 's play W;t employs dialogue and discontinuous juxtaposition in order to draw attention to the inevitable disconnect between patients and providers, which endangers successful medical engagement and outcomes.

It has been identified by the Royal Commission (2017) and by Michael Vita (2015), that staff training for both NT Detention Centres must be a priority. In both reports there was a large amount of data collected regarding the incident levels, behavioural management and staff training. As a result, data collection for the NT Youth Detention Centre Staff Training change management plan is required to be focused on detention centre staff’s current level of recorded formal training and to identify the needs of the centres to ensure an appropriate analysis for the development of a successful plan. It is therefore assessed that data collection well be composed though
