In the Darling v. Charleston Community Memorial Hospital case, the plaintiff went to Charleston Community Memorial Hospital after breaking his leg. The unqualified physician, Dr. Alexander, incorrectly placed the cast on the plaintiff’s leg. The ill-fitted cast restricted blood circulation and resulted in a significant amount of necrotic tissue. Ultimately, due to negligence of the medical and nursing staff at Charleston Community Memorial Hospital, Darling’s leg was amputated. (Darling, 1965).

When I arrive to the Trauma ICU 4800 unit, all of the nurses were already being followed by other students. The nurse in charge had me follow several different nurses, so I was able to observed several different patient cases. The first patient had received a triple bypass open-heart surgery. The patient had received a creatinine blood test. The patient had a dialysis machine next to them, which was used to function as the kidneys since the patient’s kidneys were not functioning correctly. Also, the patient’s body temperature was lowered from having a taken cool liquids so the nurses were keeping him warm with a bair hugger, which was a machine that helped regulate the patient's’ body temperatures.

On January 19th, 2009, Ian Andrews was given a seven-month suspension from the nursing profession. A year prior, Andrews was working as a full-time practical nurse at a mental health and addictions hospital located in Ontario. The client affected by Andrews ' actions was an elderly individual, who was diagnosed with autism and presented occasional periods of rage and fury. The client’s care plan involved managing periods of aggressiveness through staff support and the use of restraints, as necessary. On the day of the incident, staff nurses noticed that upon the client’s grunt, Andrews punched the client in the face several times, as the client tried to cover his face. Andrews then took the client into the bathroom where thudding noises were heard. Upon arrival, the nurses noticed Andrews standing over the client uninjured, with the wall covered with traces of blood and a broken faucet resting in the sink. Later in the evening, Andrews ' left a progress note within the client 's chart which described that the client had injured himself due to a period of restlessness. Upon patient assessment, a wound was noted on the client’s bottom lip along with minor lacerations present at the back of the client’s head.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Habersham County, Tom was feeling slightly nervous as he exited the staff lounge and entered the hustle and bustle of County Hospital’s ER to begin his first shift as an RN. The first few hours of his shift passed slowly as Tom mostly checked vital signs and listened to patients complain about various aches, pains, coughs, and sniffles. He realized that the attending physician, Dr. Greene, who was rather “old school” in general about how he interacted with nursing staff, wanted to start him out slowly. Tom knew, though, that the paramedics could bring in a trauma patient at any time.

The purpose of the study is to bring awareness about the seriousness of concussion injuries. Examining the severity of high school athletes who suffered sport related concussions is critical to determine the short term/long term damaging effects. When athletes’ concussions go undiagnosed, the risk of further damages increases since they are not fully recovered. This means that athletes will return to participation unknowingly since the injury goes undetected. In addition, when parents, coaches, doctors, and athletes are aware about the dangers of concussions, they can have a conversation and discuss the best options to ensure the safety of athletes. This means that injured athletes will not be allowed to participate under any

As both an Athlete and a sports fan the ACL injury is devastating. I’m a huge fan of the NBA, Go Cavs! Growing up watching games I have seen many players injury themselves, for example, Derrick Rose. Derrick Rose was a fantastic player in Chicago; it was so great to see the Bulls win again. Then the injuries came and tore apart the Bulls chances to win. ACL injuries to any person can be disappointing because of the extensive recovery time, but an ACL injury to a sport's star is also disappointing to all their fans watching. The worry as you watch your favorite player lay on the court in agonizing pain. The nervousness for your favorite team knows that the most valuable player, for that team, is out for the rest of the season. The despair of

In Herodotus’ The History and in the Mike Webster Sports Injury Series articles, both Croesus and Mike Webster are significant examples of being a “horrible warning”. The characters become fixed on something they believed defined them; for Croesus it was being king and for Mike Webster it was being the face of football.
