Evidence shows that apparently Sims had purchased a few enslaved African women of his own in which he performed his experiments/operations on. Although this does seem prejudice in Sims part, it has been confirmed that some of these enslaved women were some of the very first patients that participated at their own will. They agreed to Sims experiments with the sanguineness that the their condition would be palliated. They were aware of how many surgeons before Sims had failed in the success of ever finding a cure for their condition; they still took their contingencies. One of the enslaved women, Anarcha, acquires the amalgamation of the vesicovaginal and rectovaginal fistulas. She withstanded thirty of Sims operations until he successfully
This is a stimulation review of a cardiac care unit that is facing working capital shortages. As the lead financial consultant brought into address the financial indicators and evaluate to bring working capital back to in order at the Elijah Heart Center (EHC). The other financial analyst will focused around addressing issues as they relate to this particular cardiac care unit; what funding can be acquired to garner medical equipment; what funds can be used for capital expansion; finally a summation of findings and a conclusion of what the overall stimulation showed, in regards to how through the analyst were.
In 1932, in the area surrounding Tuskegee, Macon County, Alabama, the United States Public Health Service (PHS) and the Rosenwald Foundation began a survey and small treatment program for African-Americans with syphilis. Within a few months, the deepening depression, the lack of funds from the foundation, and the large number of untreated cases provided the government’s researchers with what seemed to be an unprecedented opportunity to study a seemingly almost “natural” experimentation of latent syphilis in African-American men. What had begun as a “treatment” program thus was converted by the PHS researchers, under the imprimatur of the Surgeon General and with knowledge and consent of the President of Tuskegee Institute, the medical
In the chapter ‘Under the Shadow of Tuskegee: African Americans and Health Care”, focuses on the relationship between African American and medical community due to The Tuskegee Syphilis Study. Even though the original study was projected to last only 6 months, the study actually last about 40 years. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study took place from 1932 to 1972. Researchers informed the 699 men infected men and 201 uninfected that they were doing testing on “bad blood” (LaVEIST, 2002), a term used to describe illnesses such as anemia, syphilis, and fatigue. The men were promised free meal, burial insurance, and free
His response includes the question “What do you know of African-Americans and science?” (50). She describes the Tuskegee study, in which black men were allowed to die with syphilis for research, if not infected intentionally. She recounts the history of hysterectomies that were performed in Mississippi on poor black women without their consent. How do people face that such malicious acts were aimed at their race by a society in which they must continue to
Regardless, the unconsented medical experimentation of African Americans has been active from the colonial times to present day. In his book, Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Experimentation on Black Americans From the Colonial Times to Present, Harriet A. Washington captures the beginning of this abuse to as early as the times of slavery. Malcolm Mills, a journalist wrote a review on this book and comments on how Washington “paints a powerful portrait of the medical establishment's abuse of power by exploiting prevailing racial politics beginning in the era of slavery. When medical transgressions often included painful procedures on men, women, and children who had no legal protection and could not object”. He continues saying how it went through to the 20th century when the dangers of certain procedures and their side effects were kept from test
Despite the age and immensity of the Universe, we have not been visited nor been contacted by extraterrestrial beings because we are a part of a computer simulation. According to the Simulation Hypothesis, theory provided by Nick Bostrom, humans are unaware of being part of this computer generated simulation. The most compelling piece of evidence that supports this hypothesis is the fact to one can consider a sequence of possible situations which an increasing fraction of all people live in simulations becomes more accurate. (Bostrom 1)
Have you ever wondered where a doctor’s method came from? Or so much to even, think who came up with the original idea? America has an interesting medical history, or as I like to call them experiments. Some of those experiments were a positive asset to the history, but others were horrifying. One of those horrifying events would be Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. James H. Jones, the author of “Bad Blood: The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment”, covered a book on the historical event. The study was for how the African American male is affected by untreated syphilis. But through the evolvement of the experiment, it became about the neurological aspect. It also depicts the American Government for its untrustworthiness in the health care world.
First, the passage claims that Yellowstone fires cause tremendous damage to the park`s trees and other vegetation. However, the professor refuses this and says after the fire of 1988 the firs advantage was the proliferation of the vegetation. In the time of the fires the park was colonized with only a few kinds of plants, after 1988 fires the plants became diverse. For example, the trees that have been destroyed got replaced with another smaller plants that required open and unshaded area. She further explains, that some seeds required very high temperature in order to germinate.
Though Columbus is credited for discovering America, he did enslave the native people of Hispaniola while Dr. Marion SIms, being known as the “father of modern gynecology”. practiced on female slaves without anesthesia.
Jacobs Industries is a company with a single factory and warehouse in Calopeia that manufactures and sells air conditioning retrofitting kits. Its only products, a light-weight foam, is an industrial chemical that can be mixed with air to create an efficient thermal acoustic insulator. Jacobs Industries produces chemicals in batches and loads the drums to be shipped by truck to the warehouse. If Jacobs Industries cannot fill the order within 24 hours of receiving the order then the business is lost.
The Mississippi Appendectomy study started taking place in the 1920’s. The experiment consisted of excessive hysterectomies on many women mainly in the Deep South. Poor Black women were the main focus of the experiments as well as disabled women and women that the physicians thought were not worthy of reproducing. Young, less experienced doctors were told to perform the sterilization process so that they had “a chance to practice the procedure” (50). The experiment was unnecessary and served no true, ethical purpose. The doctors believed it was in order to perform the hysterectomies because the women seemed unfit to have children and to give the younger surgeons practice. In detail, while the women were having an appendectomy (removal of the appendix), the doctors would perform the hysterectomies which were unrelated to the problem with the patients appendix. Therefore, the hysterectomies were uncalled for since the women had no knowledge of the additional procedure and didn’t give consent (University of Maryland, “Mississippi Appendectomy”, par. 1). These procedures resulted in the women deprived of their right to reproduce and no significant benefits to science. The Mississippi Appendectomy had no significant effect on medical history either since no major laws

"What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I understand."
To maximize net worth over the course of module 6, I focused on completing orders as fast and efficiently as possible. Using a combination of timing, effectively ordering materials and prioritizing orders, I maximized production and turnover. During the simulation, I found bidding on contracts that allowed the longest time frames for completion with the highest payouts was the most effective strategy. I was able to bid on contracts I knew I would secure and order materials during the same turn. I was able to be even further ahead and I had a lot more leniency while manufacturing each order.
We were four in our group and we were given a scenario of a patient who was having an anaphylactic reaction from bee sting venom. The group agreed that I will be the primary nurse. As the primary nurse, I knew that I had to lead and supervised our group in responding to the emergency situation at hand. Having played the role of a primary nurse in this simulation, I have gained meaningful experience, which I can use in my future nursing practice.
