Physician Impairment: University Hospital 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

The situation happened during the author’s last day of orientation as a new medical-surgical nurse. The author was passing medications and administered aspirin to a patient as ordered. As the author approached the nurses’ station, she stopped in disbelief as the charge nurse started yelling at her, saying, “Why are you not checking your orders? Why did you give aspirin when there was an order for no anticoagulants? Do you know the patient is having a procedure tomorrow? New grads.” Several physicians and nurse practitioners, along with the author’s coworkers, witnessed

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.

A comatose patient has the same rights as to that of a patient that is fully conscious, therefore, should not receive more or less treatment because of their condition. It is fact each patient has a unique situation but that should not hinder them from the care they rightfully deserve.

Can A Patient Be Forced to Take Medication If There Is No Medical Emergency? In this case, the patient John Rennie, a former pilot, had been in and out of mental health facilities in the state of New Jersey since his twin brother died in 1973 in an airplane accident.

Given the scenario about the diabetic patient, the obvious ethical situation in what the physical therapist did is essentially steal from the hospital. They gave away inventory without billing the patient, thus shortchanging the hospital financially. Also, another important ethical dilemma is that special treatment was given to one patient that is not given to all. Both of these ethical shortcomings, left unattended, would ultimately lead to employees doing as they wanted and at their own discretion. This could result in detrimental impacts to the hospital's logistics, and even more serious, inconsistent patient treatments. In any professional environment this should not be tolerated, especially in the medical field. To fix this issue, I would take two major steps; the first dealing with the patient and the next dealing with the physical therapist.

Especially since she was just trying to know that her husband would not be hurt by mowing the lawn. Based on what I have learned thus far in the class, I know that no matter how ridiculous the concern may sound I need to respect the patient and allow them to voice their concern. I would have listen to the wife of the patient and would have reassured her that while I know that she is worried about her husband he should be okay to mow the lawn and then I would have ended the conversation by letting the patient’s wife know that if she or her husband have any other worries or questions that they could contact me. The ethical lesson that is to be learned from Dr. McKee’s unethical error is that patients and their family members need to be treated with dignity because they are trusting the physician with their life and that should not be taken for granted.

During my first day of clinical, I encountered an issue that I believe is very significant. As a student nurse, our duty for this day was to follow our health care aide around the ward and assist in completing resident care. The resident required assistance in many of her daily tasks. The health care aide asked if I would perform one of those and do perineal care for her. I turned down her offer because I did not feel comfortable with my skill level. The resident had a bowel movement during the night. There was a significant odour in the room that overwhelmed me. I really wanted to leave the room because it was so unpleasant, but I stayed in the room so that the resident would not be embarrassed. This feeling of embarrassment, I assume,

Two days ago, another student of UC Fanta Gooze was sent to the local hospital, she was diagnosed as a heart-attack. According to related reports, the on-call doctor told us that female student probably had a huge pressure from Fanta Gooze’s final week. The hospital staff declaimed they had accepted that girl and did a series of emergency treatment at the first time. But after that, they also admitted they had to send that girl out of ER, only because her personal insurance could not fully cover her later bills. Seven thousand dollars, it is a big number, but no matter how big it is, it should never be bigger than people’ lives. The local hospital made their right choice at first, but did not hold their doctor’s mercy heart until the last
