Husband and wife, Gary and Renna Pehle were infected with HIV at the time they applied for life insurance with Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company. The couple did not know they were infected with HIV at the time. The insurance company ran blood tests from the Pehles. The Pehles then signed a contract form which was given to them by a Farm Bureau agent. A nurse from Farm Bureau watched as the Pehles signed the contract. Blood samples were sent to a third-party laboratory called LabOne. Farm Bureau then sent a notice to the Pehles rejecting them from their life insurance policy, which advised the couple that if they wished to have their application reviewed to contact their physician. The Pehles did not take any action in doing so. Two years past and Renna Pehle is confirmed to have AIDS. The Pehles then sues Farm Bureau, LabOne, and LabOne’s medical director Dr. J. Alexander Lowden for negligence, for failing to tell them they were HIV-positive.

He claimed that a new shift system had caused at least one death and one unnecessary operation taking place, and said that he and a small number of consultants were overworked and patient safety and continuity of care were compromised. The claimant had told the Manchester hearing he raised his concerns about the new ‘Consultant of the Day’ system with the trust clinical director Mr Watson and then the trust medical director Mrs Schram; however, he was reprimanded and told not to voice concerns again. The consultant said he was then investigated over a series of ‘malicious, vexatious and frivolous’ allegations and ‘imaginary deaths and complications had been conjured up’ to create a case against him. He believed that the investigation and the process from the beginning was about punishment for raising his clinical concerns, and he argued that the investigation did not examining the veracity’ of the allegations against

As noted, on February 29, 2016, the patient was nonetheless admitted to the UCR hospitalist. This was a senior member of the UCR hospitalist team who knew or should have known all of the policies and procedures for admission, and should never have admitted the patient as an attending to the hospital. In so doing, he was directly and deliberately interfering with the doctor patient relationship.

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. His son did not accept the fact that his father was dying and this created family arguments about the care of the patient because the family did not believe the patient knew what he was doing by declining treatment.

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

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. Negligence

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.
