The Health Care Provider Must Report

“Automobiles are not ferocious.... it is man who is to be feared,” as Robbins B. Stoeckel remarked, enumerates a simple, yet fundamental concept- a vehicle in itself is a relatively safe, that is, until you put a person behind the controls. Further adding to the danger is the ever prevalent risk of a fellow driver being impaired by the usage of alcohol; perhaps the only thing that may make such a situation even more difficult and dangerous is one who is under the legal alcohol drinking age. Fewer situations are more life threatening than when an underage driver has been illegally consuming alcohol, yet persists in the belief that he or she retains the ability to drive safely. Thoughts along this line are foolish at best and deadly at

Drinking and driving is said to be the primary contributor to automotive related deaths. “By law, a driver is considered to be impaired by alcohol if his or her blood alcohol content is 0.08 percent or higher” (Holzmueller). As a matter of fact, “in 2010, about 86 percent of all fatalities alcohol-involved crashes were in cases where a driver or pedestrian had a BAC of .08 or higher” (“The Economic and Societal Impact of Motor Vehicle Crashes, 2010” 147). Laws and penalties have been created and applied in recent years that make it more difficult to get away with drinking and driving. If drivers are charged with alcohol-impaired driving, “they face suspension or revocation of their license” (Holzmueller).

“In the hands of an impaired driver, a vehicle becomes a murderous weapon.” ( ) Everyone can think of someone who has driven impaired, or even maybe you have done it yourself. The fact that one can think of someone who has driven impaired is a problem. Too many people are getting behind the wheel after drinking, smoking; or are not paying attention while they drive. Impaired driving continues to a problem although strides have been made to make a difference. There are many different types of impaired driving, each that have their own consequences. These types, and consequences will be explored in this essay.

There had been a rule in Australian legal history which demanded a lower standard of care for inexperienced drivers after the case Cook vs. Cook. However, this anomaly of variable standard of care to reflect the relationship between inexperience drivers, driving in supervision of experienced drivers was overruled by Australian High Court after the case of Imbree vs. McNeilly.

1. I would like to start by just stating a few statistics related to drunk driving.

An authorised driver must notify the department if there is a change in their medical condition that makes the driver continuously unfit to safely drive for more than one month.

Although these tests are not 100% accurate, they give lead to the officer in which other test can be performed. Therefore, these tests do help in determining whether or not impairment exists in an individual. According to the finding, the female driver was infect intoxicated to the point that she could not properly operate a vehicle at the time of the traffic

Adam Bauman and Joel Wise presented an update to the Physician Contracting project (attachment V).

Visually impaired people who are categorically denied licensure in many jurisdictions are those with homonymous hemianopia or quadrantanopia. Ophthalmologists and neurologists commonly recommend driving cessation for their patients diagnosed with these conditions. Homonymous hemianopia or quadrantanopia are relatively common consequences of brain injury. Preventing a person from driving has potentially serious consequences for quality of life in that it has been linked to depression, social isolation, employment challenges and increased placement in long-term care. It is important for policies that deny licensure be evidence-based. Few previous studies have examined the impact of heminopia and quadrantanopia on driver performance. Up to two-thirds

DUI is one of the biggest causes of car crashes. Every year, Americans take around 230 billion car trip, and around 1 out of every two thousands of those trip are taken by those that are DUI. DUI doesn’t only put the driver in danger, but also all

The issue I will be investigating within this report involves the number the level of licence held by drivers and how this influences the overall number of fatalities within Queensland. This issue is paramount due to it intertwines with the health and safety of Queensland motorists. I will display the key points of this issue through the use of data such as box plots, tables and scatter plots which I will then conduct an analysis through statistical calculations and assumptions made about the data. Will this information I will then make

There are many regulations healthcare providers face in challenges. One is HIPAA which governs how providers disclose protected health

Granny, I know you’ve never been in an accident, but Lord knows how many you’ve caused! Although I love my grandmother dearly, I must admit that a few of my grey hairs are courtesy of her driving. As the years passed, my grandmother’s driving progressively got worse. However, there is no test administered to the elderly which determines whether or not they are fit to drive. While my Granny was creating mayhem on the streets, I realized how much a drivers’ test for the elderly was needed. Elderly drivers impose possible threats on others, as well as themselves, and could also be paying excess money on unnecessary insurance.
