The Mysterious Roses and Cold Feet

Woodroof shouted at the FDA during a town hall meeting “People are dying. And y’all up there are afraid that we’re gonna find an alternative without you.” This was Woodroof’s way of saying that the FDA only backs up the pharmaceutical companies because they will give the FDA incentive to put the stamp of approval on their product. “You see the pharma companies pay the FDA to push their product. They don’t want to see my research. I don’t have enough cash in my pocket to make it worth their while” he explained. This is the error the patients see in the American healthcare system, the FDA was hesitant to license new drug therapies and also didn’t want to let patient’s tryout with their own medications. AIDS patients felt like they were denied access to life-saving drugs by an insensitive federal government. Author of the book, HIV and The blood Supply, Lauren B. Leveton suggested that “The evaluation of policy decisions and actions taken over a decade ago is a problematic enterprise.” Even Woodroof’s doctor has concerns about the pharma company that makes AZT when she asks another doctor “Doesn’t it drive you a little bit crazy to see these guys talking about curing the sick while flashing their gold

The twenty-first century has seen pharmaceutical companies grow in unprecedented size and strength. Due to the unprecedented growth the larger pharmaceutical companies have gained leverage and power in the prescription drug industry, but they lack innovation to market and they seek ways to help the business continue to increase its profits. The pharmaceutical industry was once ethically sound and was a valuable player in the development of human health. However, overtime with the lack of innovation pharmaceutical companies are becoming an unethical market that exploits patients, doctors and anyone else it can to increase its profitability. With eyes only on profitability this can create a hazard for patients because there

The Mysterious Roses and the Case of the Cold feet were two simulation that present different issues with different solution. The Mysterious Roses dealt with a sexual harassment incident with Gayle Dornier a worker

What principles would you need to be aware of when dealing with the ethical dilemmas in this case study?

When looking at ethical dilemmas in human services one must be able identify and address the dilemma properly. Within the module for this week I am to evaluate three different dilemma scenarios and describe how I would approach each. In addition, I will be identifying what steps in the evaluation process I have used to make my decision on each ethical dilemma.

In August 2016, I sat down for a discussion with one of the attorneys at Hotze Runkle, Justin Dunlap. Mr. Dunlap had just joined the firm a month earlier as part of the firm’s expansion into pharmaceutical litigation, an area of practice that he has had years of experience prior to joining the firm. He graciously took the time one afternoon to sit down and allow me to conduct an interview with him.

The case of the Mysterious Roses is the responsibility project chosen by me. As the Director of Sales, I am expected to make decisions that will impact the reputation of the company I represent also individual persons within the organization. In the project, I will be required to make several ethical decisions through a practical and repeatable decision model with the desired outcome of understanding how the ethical lens works. In addition, the ethical lens uses separate perspectives for each dilemma. This is done by using different perspectives with the desired outcome of establishing a proper ethical situation for the proper situation.

Everyday individuals are faced with issues associated with ethical dilemmas. Ethical dilemmas involve an individual’s behavior toward a moral standard, which may have been established from previous generations and passed along. In upholding the standards taught individual may be forced to take a particular action involving a decision when a behavior is considered non-ethical is when an ethical dilemma occurs. It can become difficult at times in making the correct decisions or solutions to the situation, which is why a code of ethics is established in the workplace. The code of ethics in the

This paper will research the Product recall involving the Drug Company known as Merck, who produced the drug Vioxx use to treat osteoarthritis, and acute pain in adults. Looking at the relationships Merck had with government and lobbyist one can see what actions the drug company may have taken to lead them to this recall. In Addition, This paper will look at the actions Merck took in the approval process and recall of their drug. Using all information provided on this case this paper will decide whether Merck was ethically correct in bringing the drug to market and if they took the right steps in recalling it. Finally I will discuss the other stakeholder responsibilities and provide solutions to prevent this from happening in the future.

Utilizing justice as the foundation when reviewing the reactions by Johnson & Johnson to the Tylenol catastrophe illustrates that Johnson & Johnson acted fairly and without prejudice. Stockholders may have perceived a lack of consideration due to the financial impact of the actions of Johnson & Johnson in response to the Tylenol tragedy. However, given that the burden suffered by the families who lost loved ones, and the fear of society in general was far more burdensome than the financial loss of the shareholders, justice prevailed in this case.

As an advanced practice nurse (APN), a primary function is facilitating pharmaceutical interventions. The APN is legally responsible for providing safe, appropriate, and cost-effective drug interventions. Before writing prescriptions, the practitioner must take a thorough history and perform a physical examination of the patient, followed by a diagnosis, disease review, selection of the most appropriate first line therapy available, and lastly, evaluation of the patient?s response to the treatment. Some questions that come to mind are, is this the best drug for the presenting problem? What drugs does the person currently utilize? Does the patient have allergies to any medications? Can the patient take the medication? What is the cost of the drug? (Arcangelo & Peterson, 2013, pp. 6-10). The scenario I chose for this week?s discussion is number four. The APN is questioning whether the expensive drug therapies given to some of her patients are the most efficient in managing the patient?s health condition and improving their quality of life. The purpose of this discussion is to explore the ethical and legal implications of the above scenario, and strategies to ensure that the APN is providing the most legally and ethically competent care for your patients.

The ethical game simulation is designed to provide insight to ethical dilemmas faced in business organizations and the lessons learnt assist those in the management positions, employees and other partners to make critical decisions that if taken lightly could lead the business down the drain. The decisions reached are to be ethical in that they have to follow the standard conduct governing the organization that is morals and values and ensure increased ethical awareness ADDIN EN.CITE Schrier20109(Schrier & Gibson, 2010)996Schrier, K.Gibson, D.Ethics and Game Design: Teaching Values Through Play2010HersheyIGI Global9781615208456http://books.google.co.ke/books?id=vKFdDHDFNmoC( HYPERLINK l "_ENREF_1" o "Schrier, 2010 #9" Schrier & Gibson, 2010). In the following discussion, we look at the process through which one undergoes to make decisions by weighing options and the best alternative endorsed in a repeated and experiential manner.

While concerns have been raised about direct and even indirect financial relationships between pharmaceutical companies/drug representatives and physicians, it has also been noted that physicians can

Costs of the decision included negative public perceptions of the firm and denial of treatment to economically disadvantaged and uninsured consumers. the decision was ethical because the benefits of new life saving drugs outweighed the costs of denial of treatment to the few. So GSK regarding to its primary stakeholders was social responsible.

Ethical dilemmas are virtually impossible to avoid if you are a participant in the workforce. The definition of an ethical dilemma stands as a situation that challenges two or more “right” values that arise in a conflict (Treviño & Nelson, 2014). As ethical persons, how may we overcome ethical dilemmas and finish on the “right” side? The research mentioned in Trevino’s and Nelson’s book, “Managing Business Ethics: Straight Talk About How to Do It Right,” suggests that preparing for specific ethical challenges before a situation occurs can adequately prepare the workforce to better handle real-world applications when an ethical situation transpires. The notion that ethics is teachable inspires the following case analysis. The case analysis involving chemical safety will discuss the facts and issues, stakeholders, decision alternatives, and real-work constraints. Focusing on each of the previously mentioned topics, I will describe the applications using Utilitarian, Kantian Ethics, and Rawlsian Justice Analysis’s.
