Fanta Gooze Case

How quickly the sufferer was transported to a hospital was heavily depended on the education of the people surrounding them at the time. In Mr. Miele’s case, he was accompanied by friends who immediately recognized the symptoms of a heart attack, and were able determine that calling an ambulance was the smartest thing to do. In Ms. Gora’s case, she was not aware she was having a heart attack, and initially refused to allow her husband to call an ambulance out of fear that it would cost too much, and hoping that her symptoms would go away. Lack of education is not limited to a person’s individual level of education. The level to which doctors educate their patients about what’s going on with their body, or what their different treatment options are, also effects the aftermath of a heart

After working under these horrendous conditions, including lack of sleep, lack of electricity to keep the newest technology machines working, shut-down elevators and air conditioning, and an unsanitary working environment, the remaining staff members at Memorial did what they could. The reason and quantity of the medications that were found in patients’ bodies were unquestionably incorrect with the justification by Dr. Pou that she was simply trying to reduce their physical suffering and relieve their anxiety. In this case, Dr. Pou’s situation was considered malpractice, because people argued that there were other ways to help these patients. Rodney Scott, one of the last patients to leave the hospital stated, “How can you say euthanasia is better than evacuation?..If they had vital signs, then get ‘em out. Let God make that decision,” (Fink, 28). It is anticipated that nurses will experience challenging working conditions, including an environment of fear, and too much responsibilities or things to focus on. To prevent faster burnout and secondary trauma, nurses will need sufficient rest periods, emotional support especially from the hospital facilities and

Maria Niceforo, a 75-year-old woman receiving in-home nursing care, had died of infection due to numerous pressure wounds (Le May, 2016). She was admitted to the hospital presenting with a bleeding pressure wound across her back and legs that had penetrated through the bone (Le May, 2016). It was also observed that the wounds were soiled with urine and dried faeces (Le May, 2016). She was receiving in-home support from registered nurses, who according to her son, were not consistent nor reliable in their care of Mrs. Niceforo (Le May, 2016). Another contributing factor to her death was inadequate communication and documentation of her treatment (Menagh, 2016). For example, one of the nurses had reported not providing treatment to Mrs. Niceforo's bottom as she was not aware of it (Menagh, 2016). I was quite

Every one of us has relied on a medical professional at least a few times in our lives. When we get seriously ill, or suffer a serious injury, we put our health in the hands of doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, fully expecting to be treated with a certain degree of professionalism and safety. Unfortunately, sometimes the expected care is not given, or not given to the extent which the ailment requires. In these situations, we can feel blindsided, confused, even taken advantage of.

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.

His actions were unexplainable to the relatives of the patient and unacceptable in care industry as this controversy raised issues and concerns about the care/nursing homes on how they treat the residents and this only put doubts and worries on the patient’s relatives about the work being done in a care/nursing home.

University Hospital is a well known hospital with a level 1 trauma treatment center for the tri-county area of a northwestern state, the hospital enjoys the fact they are known for their promising reputation among healthcare professionals and the public they serve. Jan Adams is an OR supervisor that has been working there for ten years, as a professional she makes surgeons follow protocol as required and enjoys working with trauma patients. One Friday night, which is the busiest day of the week for the trauma department; the unit was notified that a helicopter was on its way with a 42 year old man who had been in a car accident. Shortly after the patient arrived to the trauma center, the resident and other medical staff noted that he was in very bad physical conditions, needed immediate surgery or otherwise he was going to die. The issue was that the on call surgeon had to be present during the surgery and had not yet arrived, but regardless of the matter and protocol they proceeded with medically treating the patient immediately. The concern is that in doing so they violated medical procedures and put the patients safety at risk, this lead to a long list of ethical issues for example, patient well-being, impaired healthcare professional, adherence to professional codes of ethical conduct, adherence to the organization’s mission statement, ethical standards, and values statements, management’s role and responsibility, failure

Any hospitalization is a stressful situation for all parties, the patient and family. In this scenario it is even more stressful because it is a life and death decision. Mr. Y’s brother is diabetic with a history of high blood pressure. Mr. Y has to face the ethical issues of quality of life versus quantity of life in deciding to follow his brother’s wishes or not. Mr. Y most likely did not understand a lot of what was happening and may have felt that it was too heavy a decision to let his brother die if no heroic measures were taken. Mt. Y asked for his niece’s opinion, indicating Mr. Y’s inability to make a decision.

“An ethical dilemma exists when a choice has to be made in which the consequences may have a potential positive or negative outcome.”("Topic 4: Contemporary Ethical Dilemmas (How do managers evaluate beginning-of-life dilemmas?). ", n.d.) The given scenario presents a patient named Jamilah Shah, who is of Turkish descent, 90 years old and collapsed at the side of her bed in the extended care facility in which she resides. The patient suffers from Chronic Pulmonary disease and diabetes mellitus. The patient was rushed to the ER were the EKG and lab tests revealed she suffered a heart attack and she was started on anticoagulants. The patient has no advance directives and a communication barrier exists, the ER department contacts the emergency contact, one of the patient 's sons Bashir. The patient 's family arrives at the hospital and her son states that he makes the decisions and the wants a do not resuscitate order for his mother and no medical intervention other than comfort care. The social worker handling Jamilahs case is concerned by her family 's lack of support and that the family 's wishes are at odds with the patient 's request for help and her expressed desire to live. Furthermore if the patient does not receive a cardiac catheterization or is considered for a coronary bypass, she will surely die.

The good that came out of the situation was that the care plan for the last days of life had been met. The patients and the family's psychological, social and spiritual needs had been addressed, and the patient was comfortable and free from pain (Kemp 1999). The care that was carried out protected the patients' dignity and respected him as a human being, with his family being involved as much as possible with his care.

In the health care system, a multitude of errors occurs on a daily basis. Doctors, nurses, orderly’s, etc., everyone in health care settings has responsibilities that warrant careful attention. This was exhibited in the case study titled ‘An Extended Stay’. In this case study, we are introduced to a middle-aged man in his 60s named Mr. Stanley Londborg. He presented with several health conditions, including a seizure disorder, hypertension (also known as high blood pressure), and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Londborg was no stranger to the hospital and was known fairly well by faculty members. Londborg paid a visit to the Emergency Room at the hospital complaining of wheezing and breathing complications. The physician that examined Mr. Londborg yielded his symptoms as an acute worsening of

Wow, I would have never thought about a student cause a situation like that, but then again, it could happen. “Warning sign often come from those have an ongoing relationship with the organization, like customers, donors, and suppliers” (Hackman & Johnson, 2013, p. 416). In your case the warning sign came for the patient.

Joanna multiple attempts to report that something needs to be done to evaluate the cause of Mrs. Kelly pain was ask to calm down. However nobody took patient symptoms series and the next day patient died.

Wanton hospital is long renowned for its health care which is the best in the country. It’s the very first multispecialty hospital in the district. Being a nurse in this hospital, I have come across lots of experiences where some of them were very rewarding while some of them were just sad. But that is the life of any nurse. When I think of some good experiences, I am reminded of a very peculiar case which took place in the very same hospital. One day a very critical accident case was brought in. The man’s name was George. He suffered from brain hemorrhage and doctors were not sure about his chances of survival. But in the few weeks that passed by he made a steady improvement. Due to unknown reasons, George wasn’t able to get his eye sight

Only thing that came into their mind was about their children future and dream. Umesh was determined to go through the surgery as soon as possible but as for Sita Devi she had no idea what was going to happen her. They requested for the doctors to provide some concessions on their treatment cost. Though the doctor did not showed much of the positive hope in full financial support but gave mouthful of assurance to provide the best treatment in minimal cost. There are many cases where fake victims gets the aid in the name of poor economic status, even the recent case of earthquake aid where fake earthquake sufferers claimed the money provided by the government. These stories are not so unique in our society where the real victims and sufferers suffer more and more and make them questionable when they genuinely ask help with honesty. Same situation was applied to Sita Devi and Umesh, doctors were not sure whether they were the real sufferers or the fake ones. But their tears made doctors to rethink about the financial support. After multiple interviews and documents, social service department of Patan Hospital agreed to give them 60% discount on their medical
