Not only did the dentist have possible legal violations, but there is evident failure to follow ethical principles. One of the applications of the

It seems logical that people go to college to earn a degree in the field of study they want to pursue. However, in some rare occasions this not always True. Dr. Cameron Gilbert is a case of a person who has done just that. Dr. Gilbert is currently an owner of a budding neuropsychiatric hospital system. Strangely, Dr. Gilbert’s expertise, according to his degree is in geriatric neuropsychology, yet his career has encompassed mainly management and business instead of the clinical work that his degree entails. I sat down with Dr. Gilbert to try and understand how this doctor of mental diseases found his way into the business world.

In the beginning of the meeting on September 18th the board addressed the investigative reports of CNA, RN, AP license holders due to specific acts these nurses did during practice that disregarded the regulation of the Nurse Practice Act. For example, David Dane Ryer was a RN and AP license holder. He was under investigation because he was prescribing himself different forms of medicine and was practicing outside of his scope of practice. He had a previous hearing with the board to discuss this issue and ended up walking out before the hearing was concluded. This action then confirmed for the board that he lack self-control and ultimately caused the board to revoke

The event that essentially precipitated the criminal charges against Ann Mitchell and Vicki Galle was when they reported the unsafe medical practices of Dr. Ronaldo Arafiles. They stood up for many of Dr. Rolando Arafiles patients and their rights. They felt as if Dr. Arafiles was not providing standard care for his patients. After they filed an anonymous complaint to the Texas Medical Board (TMB), Winkler County Sherrif Robert Roberts requested copies of the confidential complaints and notified Dr. Arafiles. Following this action, the sheriff and Dr. Arafiles a attempted to retaliate against the two nurses (Sack, K). After reviewing the outcome of the case, the nurses were both impacted negatively. They will probably never be hired into the

Dred Scott was a black man from St. Missouri, who sued for his freedom. In 1846, after his slaver master John Emerson died Scott and his wife Harriet a slave woman, whom he met at Fort Snelling filed separate lawsuits for their freedom, with support of their white friends. Harriet suit was put to the side, while they waited for the outcome of Scott’s ligation. Scott and his lawyers claimed in his suit that Scott’s master took him to two free states Illinois and Wisconsin, which should have enable him to be a free man. Scott lost his first suit, but he won his second. He lost again on appeal to the Missouri Supreme Court. The Dred Scott vs. Stanford was the final appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which was led by Chief of Justice Roger Taney

The Plaintiffs felt that since the hospital was licensed and accredited that they should be held responsible for their employees and their actions. It states in the regulations that any infraction of the bylaws imposes liability for the injury. At any time if Dr. Alexander had questions or concerns he could have reached out to an expert in this field to consult

Two experienced nurses had been working at the Winkler county hospital for more than 20 years. In 2009, Ann Mitchell and Vicki Galle became whistleblower in the small town of west Texas. The nurses field an anonymous report to Texas Medical Board regarding to retaliation in the hospital. In the letter, the nurse stated the unsafe practices of Dr. Rolando Arafiles. The nurses were concern about the improper treatment to patient provided by Dr. Arafiles. Since. Dr. Arafiles tried to misuse his connections in order to save himself. Upon receiving the notice from the Texas Medical Board, Dr. Arafiles contacted his good friend and patient-Winkler county sheriff. Dr. Arafiles filed a complaint of harassment by the nurses to the sheriff. The sheriff started investigating the complaint and obtained the copy of the TMB report that clearly identifies that Mitchell and Galle had filed a complaint. Then, the sheriff obtained a search of warrant and seized each nurse’s work computer and found the copy of TMB letter. The nurses were charged with the third degree felony for misuse of official information to cause damage to the physician. However, the TMB disputed with District and County Attorney over the charges asserting that there was no misuse of official information in the state-governing agency. The complaint process allows anyone to report a physician for any unsafe, improper or poor practice including nurses. Since TMB is a government agency there was no violation of Health

The issue is whether the defendant National Institute of Health (NIH) placed the patient JoAnn Goodman in jeopardy while undergoing an experimental isolated liver perfusion ILP surgery to save her life. After the ILP procedure she was prescribed a pain medication called Melphalan which caused a negative reaction. Could this medication and the ILP surgery have compromised JoAnn Goodman’s’ health to quickly decline and eventually expire due to the negligence care of her physician could this condition constitute battery in the wrongful death of Mr. Goodman’s’ wife?

In the case study, there has been fraudulent activity in this office that would warrant criminal sanctions. There have been claims filed in which patients were seen by an NP but billed as though they had seen a physician, at times, even when that physician was not in the office that day. This is a

It is troubling that other clinicians allowed her to continue to practice when her competency was questionable. The clinician is putting the clients at risk and not taking time to care for herself. My concern is that she is using client sessions to vent about her own personal problems. Currently, she has poor judgment and may refuse to refer clients out, which would be reported before things worsen. This situation can intensity her mental state if the board rules against her and considers her incompetent.

The nurses Mitchell and Galle, while working in the Quality assurance department of the hospital found issues with Dr. Arafiles practice that clearly jeopardized patient safety. The nurses possessed an ethical obligation to report the malpractice, moreover, if the reporting of what is presumed to be illegal behavior is performed in good faith then the action is legal per the Texas Supreme Court (Sack, 2010).
