One of his coworkers had noticed and suspected the possibility of Beckett having AIDS but said nothing. Beckett proceeds to take several days off to find a way to hide the lesions and work on files. All is well in Beckett’s work life until a mistake is made and a paper file goes missing with no digital copy, but is found just in time for court submission. His employers

The patient was initially admitted due to terminal cancer, his family wanted him to have a procedure, but he elected not to do so due to the risk of being in his mid-eighties. Instead, he remained in the hospital for comfort measures because the pain was unbearable without medication.

Mrs. Coleman stated “The children live in

While tragic cases such as these place insurance companies, doctors, legislators and families in an ethical and legal dilemma, it is the lawyers who pursue a common practice known as "ambulance chasing," that causes the root of all of these problems. Having originally acquired its name from personal injury lawyers, this immoral method is applied when a law firm contacts a recent accident victim and pries them into taking their cases to court. In many states, laws have been instilled that ban ambulance chasing - specifically accident victims - however money-hungry lawyers have found ways to outthink the system. Hubbard is a perfect example of such a lawyer. Hubbard and her hired associates have visited hundreds of businesses, which offer services to the public. Prying their way into restaurants, malls, and medical offices, to name a few, they search for deficiencies that do not comply with the 1990 American Disability Act. By law in the state of California, one is able to prosecute for up to $250,000 for "pain and suffering" in addition to the $100,000 in penalty fees. In a sense, many of these cases end up being more like insurance fraud. Since many of these large corporations have insurance that cover potential cases like these, most of

I was disturbed by the article I read on Medscape because many lives were affected by this physician action. Dr. Fata is an oncologist practicing in Detroit, Michigan who became rich administering excessive or unnecessary chemotherapy to hundreds of patients even to those individuals who did not have cancer (Lowes, 2015). According to federal prosecutors, the excessive and unnecessary treatment, which went beyond chemotherapy was part of a massive criminal scheme that netted at least $17 million from Medicare and private insurers (Lowes, 2015). Dr. Fata performed each actions deliberately which was unethical. He took an oath to provide prudent care to the public which he fail short doing by affecting 553 patients. Besides affecting those individuals

The doctor and his patient portray a troubled encounter that is subject to discussion. This short story reflects real or plausible issues comparable in real life. One example of such an event in Brooklyn when a construction worker filed a lawsuit against a hospital for subjecting him to a rectal exam against his wishes. According to his lawyer, the man begged,”please don’t do that’’ as he was held down, and he punched one of the doctors before being sedated and examined without consent. As a result the man allegedly developed post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the experience.(Tsai,1) Given to the poor man’s circumstance and how the medical professionals treated him, you can now see how unfit doctors can be to their own patients.

Dr. Gilbert’s first head position came in the year nineteen ninety-nine as St. Claude Medical Center’s Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Gilbert would have an immense up hill battle ahead as the new leader of his hospital that was extremely poor in it’s ability to take care of it’s patients. Additionally, all but one physician terminated their employment at St. Claude due to all of this the government was getting ready to close down the hospital. This bleak situation would make even a veteran C.E.O. shudder, let alone a rookie C.E.O. However, according to Dr. Gilbert, “I was to stupid to know better to take on a job of this magnitude.” After three long years of treating mainly patients of violent crimes, infectious diseases and effects of extreme poverty St. Claude became a successful hospital and exceeded all regularity requirements while giving treatment to Ninth Ward residents, which is a well known impoverished area filled with high criminal activity. Dr. Gilbert would sell his hospital after his three years of ownership and continue his career as a C.E.O. in Indiana.

“The definition of a health professional is a person who works to protect and improve people’s health by the diagnosis and treatment of illness to bring about a complete recovery from mental, physical and social perspectives, either directly or indirectly (Kurban, 2010, pg. 760).” Nurses in the community today have acquired an increasing responsibility to intervene with medical decisions. In the past, there were clear differences between nurses and doctors. It was more common for a nurse to be supervised directly under the physician. They are not just performing Doctor’s orders anymore. The nurse role in patient care has been widely expanded. Allegations against someone can be one of the most stressful moments of their careers.
