Sims Experiments: A Summary

Reginald Hollinshed October 14th, 2017 Bad Blood: The Summary 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

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

Vesicovaginal fistula is a tear from the bladder or anus to the vagina that causes urine or feces to leak and can arise from physical complications from the birth of a child. In 1849, the American surgeon James Marion Sims was credited with being the first doctor to successfully repair this condition surgically (Ojanuga 1993). His methods included operations on 14 African American female slaves without the benefit of anesthesia. Many women underwent multiple operations, as many as 30 separate times (Macleod 1999). However, Sims is hailed as a heroic and noble contributor to the medical world and women’s health, yet his work only recently been questioned regarding his controversial operations on slaves. The issues surrounding Sims’ works

Simulation Reflective Journal Look back 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.

For example, the Tuskegee experiment that purposely held syphilis experiments on black men while withholding medications from participants treating them like “guinea pigs”. Another historical event is the eugenics experiment on young African American women through selective breeding and sterilization, just to name a few. She explained that physicians are not culturally sensitive to handle historical event that are prevalent in this mistrust of African American people (Ferrera, 2015), Hence why many African American women do not visit a physician. Another example of patients mistrust was the Deborah lacks story, where her cells were being cultivated by scientist and replicated and sold all over the world without the knowledge of her family. While the scientist reaps the rewards Deborah lack’s family was poor, uneducated and also suffering from illness. These traumatic historical events are enough to doubt the sincerity of physicians specifically if those physicians match the physical descriptions of the oppressor.

After her death in 1951, for six decades, Henrietta Lacks did not exist in the eyes of the society, but her cells did. How? Well, the answer is quite simple. HeLa Cells are the first immortal human cells. These cells never die and multiply every twenty-four hours. After spending 10

Before the Affordable Care Act Exploiting Black Bodies in Advancing Medicine, Pre-Civil War. Historically, the social, legal and religious mistreatment of racial and sexual minorities, amongst others, has been well-documented, and persists across the world today. During the years of slavery, Black slaves were often subjected to excruciating medical experiments. Most famously, between 1845-1849, Dr. J. Marion Sims, the highly celebrated “father of modern gynecology,” subjected three slave women to 30 painful operations to formulate the procedure of repairing the abnormal opening that forms in the wall of the vagina to the urinary tract, known medically as vesicovaginal fistulas, that can be caused by childbirth (Collins, 2006). Although,

Simulation Review Paper Kimberly Roehler HCS 405 September 26, 2011 Sandra DiPietro Simulation Review 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.

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

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.

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.
