Harry's Recovery Case Study

I stepped off the bus and to my surprise, my mom was not there. I looked around and spotted my brother Paul waiting for me. He told me my mother was in the hospital with my oldest brother, Jason, who had just been in a car accident which left him with a broken neck, shoulder and forearm. The experience of his recovery inspired me to look at life differently. I believe everything happens for a reason, I spend more time with my family and I look up to my brother.

Recovery from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco is something not a whole bunch of people can do. Either they don’t have the support or willpower to do it. Then there’s some people that just don’t want the help even if they have the support. Recovery is something that could really help and benefit a person. It seems to me like recovery is a way of giving someone a second chance at getting their life together. They went through rough times and that’s why they turned to all those bad things. Then they recover and it’s like they are in a brand new world. The whole recovery process needs support from the person friends, family , and anyone else that the person needs to help support them. When they get the support they have the willpower to recovery from

On Chapter 28, The Myth That Correctional Rehabilitation Does Not Work mainly discussed about how most of Americans would believe punishing the offender is a way of justifying what the victim endured. We rather to balance out the harm between the offender and the victim to achieve justice is known as retribution or simply, deserts. Over the time, politicians slowly leaned more on the “get tough” approach which produced mixed results. However, not all criminals need to be toughened and punished severely over a crime that is not even violent such as marijuana charges. This one of the several reasons why the word, Rehabilitation, were brought up. According to Cullen & Jonson 2011, “rehabilitation is a planned correctional intervention that targets for change the factor known through scientific studies to cause crime.” Unlike the get tough stance, which is sending the inmate to prison to reduce the recidivism rate, but studies showed that it does little to reduce; its goal for rehabilitation is to reduce recidivism rate and improve other aspects of the offender’s life. According to the studies Martinson conducted in 1974/5, he discovered that “recidivism actually reduced when there are some sort of intervention

He does not smoke or drink. He is married with two children. There is no cancer within the family. No known drug allergies. Current home medications are Omeprazole 20 mg 1 tablet daily, Ondansetron 4 mg 1 tablet daily, Oxycodone 5 mg 1 tablet p.r.n. for pain. He was recently started on FOLFOX with chemotherapy. Currently patient has been on Hydrocodone, morphine IV for pain, Ondansetron IV for nausea, and Lovenox SC for DVT prophylactic. Patient has been not taking any blood pressure or diabetes medication as per hospital record which may lead to raise in blood glucose level and blood pressure (due to pain) postoperatively. Close monitoring of vital signs, pain scale and CBG will be the important in patient’s care. Due to his extensive metastatic condition, obesity and being prediabetic makes his overall prognosis poor with high chance of having complications postop including fistulas, bowel injury, infection, slow wound healing and

Haughey says he called the Medical Oncology department and told them to discontinue the chemo therapy drugs. The treatment was stopped for one round, and then continued at the direction of the medical oncology unit. Two to three weeks later, the patient was having problems tolerating the chemo treatment and was vomiting. He was admitted and developed bleeding. Haughey was called almost 36 hours after the patient was admitted, and the bleeding started. By the time Haughey became aware of the issues, the patient had

Harry Houdini was an amazing entertainer who went through many obstacles and performed amazing stunts that changed his life. When Houdini was younger, him and his family moved to New York but remained poor. Houdini had to go on the streets and create different tricks. A trick he did was hide coins all around him, so when people shook him money would fall off of him. Houdini also had a passion for magic, as a teen he performed in the circus.

"Chemotherapy is employed as part of a multimodal approach to the treatment of many tumors" (Copra, 2016, pp.1). During the process of chemotherapy very potent anti-cancer drugs are used to interfere with the cancer cells ability to produce new DNA. There are approximately fifty different forms of chemotherapy that can be intermixed to provide the most efficient treatment of the cancer cells. They can receive chemotherapy medication orally or through an IV. If an IV is used, the patients are physically stuck with a needle during treatment, but due to the repetitive sticks, the veins cannot withstand that process for any length of time. In those cases, the patient can choose to have a life port place on either side of the front

Recovery is quite a complex concept, as people have different perceptions of its meaning and what it looks like, which is why there are two recovery perspectives in mental health, which is personal recovery and clinical recovery. Clinical recovery is described as a cure to symptoms due to medical treatments (McCranie, 2010). Clinical recovery was the main approach mental health professionals used in the 1980s not only in New Zealand, but also around the world. This is due to people’s perception that people with mental illness were ‘lunatics’, something of the devil, related to witchcrafts and incurable. According to Brunton (as cited in Ball, 2010), New Zealand’s first ‘lunatics’ drew the general public’s attention as they were seen as

John Doe is a 57-year-old male who was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer in January of 2017. He attended the St. Bernards Cancer Center located in Jonesboro, AR for consultation and treatments. His initial consultation was February 9, 2017 with one of the oncologists. At the first appointment, John met with the registrar personnel to complete all required paperwork, met with a nurse, nurse practitioner, cancer navigator, and oncologist. After his initial visit, the treatment plan was completed by staff members and he would begin treatments in the following weeks. John received both radiation and chemotherapy to treat his diagnosis. He began radiation and chemotherapy treatments on February 27, 2017 and finished on April 6, 2017. His radiation treatment was scheduled daily and his chemotherapy treatments were scheduled twice weekly for six weeks. He has a two-week follow-up appointment scheduled for April 21, 2017. At this follow-up visit, John will meet with a nurse, cancer navigator, and oncologist. This visit is solely

To date, Patient C has had approximately 91 IVIG treatments, 6 rounds of chemotherapy, 5 years worth of steroid shots, 9 spinal taps, numerous x-ray swallow studies, CT scans, and MIBG scans, and he just finished having his 3rd porta catheter placed (S. Berkley, personal communication, December 1,

The acute complications of will resolve within two to three weeks after completion of radiation treatment.

Canine chronic enteropathy (CE) is a term used for a group of chronic diseases with unknown etiology in small and/or large intestine that may also involve the stomach [1, 2]. It causes chronic gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, tenesmus, hematochezia, decreased appetite and weight loss [1, 47]. The diagnosis of canine CE can be achieved by histologic confirmation of an idiopathic chronic inflammatory process and the response to treatment trials such as diet change, antibiotic treatment, and anti-inflammatory drug treatment. Treatment trials in dogs with CE start with using diet change (hydrolyzed protein diet or a protein restricted diet); and if they respond to diet change alone, they are classified as having food responsive diarrhea or enteropathy (FRD or FRE). If nonresponsive to dietary changes, antibiotic treatment starts and in case of clinical response to metronidazole/tylosin therapy, the CE is classified as antibiotic responsive diarrhea or enteropathy (ARD or ARE). Canine patients with CE that failed to respond to diet change

The patient is a 59-year-old female who was recently in a nursing home after having completed some IV antibiotic therapy at St. Joe's. The family took her out on a leave from the nursing home to celebrate her birthday and she refused to return. She was brought to the ED and after spending over 24 hours in observation window until a reasonable plan could be devised for her continuing care. She was admitted inpatient. The patient is known to have a rectosigmoid carcinoma. She has been quite noncompliant with her therapy. She had exploratory lap, sigmoid resection and colostomy. She was unresectable diagnosis. She has had neoadjuvant chemotherapy, she is noncompliant with that and she has had progression of disease to her liver and lung.

Heffner, a real Southern gentleman. He treated me in the kindest, most respectful way, and I am forever grateful to him. The course of treatment was four infusions of Rituxan over a four week period. I had dialysis Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and Wednesday was my day to go to the oncology clinic at Emory and receive the Rituxin.

f recidivism is the measure of success, I am disheartened. To "rearrest" an individual in hopes of deterring them from committing additional crimes seems like a second sentence after they have already paid for their sins. Studies show that even controlled focus strategies like remote location monitoring and intensive supervision yield few positive results. (Schmalleger & Gmykla, 2015). However, when treatment strategies are combined with controlled focus strategies the success rate is increased but not by much. There are seven principles to effective rehabilitation. These are target criminogenic needs, intensive services for high risk offenders, collaborate offender personality to service style, stick to principles of social and behavioral
