The Gallagher v. Cayuga Medical Center case was then appealed by the plaintiffs. Facts: This is a civil case. The Plaintiff of this case is Timothy W. Gallagher, the parent of Jack O’Bannon Gallagher (deceased). Jack was sent to the emergency room after his high school nurse believed he might have abused a substance in which he was acting strangely and had elevated blood pressure. The decedent was omitted into the hospital and was seen by multiple medical professionals who evaluated both his physical health and mental state.

It would have been helpful to have his signature on the consent. Physicians can get too relaxed with consents and risks and benefits and documentation in the medical record. It goes by unnoticed until a patient has a complication and the physician is unable to prove what they did. Or maybe sometimes, they really did not get informed consent. The plaintiff would have still have an injuries caused by the procedure, but would likely have been considered an unfortunate bad outcome, but not negligence.

In April 2016, Oregon and the physicians it employs within its Department of Corrections were sued for medical malpractice when an inmate’s unchecked kidney stone caused an abscess and ultimate removal of her kidney which occurred in 2013 and 2014. (Peterson, 2016) In 2015, an inmate was awarded almost $16 million in damages due to paralysis. In November 2006 the physician employed by the state facility failed to recognized the severity of the inmate’s spinal injuries and send him for the proper neurological evaluation and treatment.

After two pictures, one at ninety degrees and one at zero degrees, my mother was able to conclude there was a bullet lodged into the right side of the temporal lobe. With the two pictures Mrs.Frederick was able to identify the bullets location and depth within the skull. Quickly making copies of her pictures she raced to the landing site of the helicopter where the now stable patient would be loaded and transported to a major trauma hospital. Where they would immediately be able to start surgery due to the stable condition of the patient and the x rays my mother had conducted. That day a small back country hospital nurses bought precious extra minutes to that man’s life, because without those nurseries that man never would have made it another hospital with his

In regards to case ‘The Court Was Appalled’, I have to agree with the ruling of the court’s decision. The physicians’ obligation to properly examine his patients such as in the case of Tomick’s breast the first time was complete negligence. The physician did not complete a thorough examination, and then the patient had to wait months to be reevaluated again. The Ohio Court of Appeals made the right decision in favoring the patient. If the proper care was given early on the mass size potentially could have been prevented.

After reading this case I was terribly shocked about the fact that something like this could happen in our medical history. I couldn’t believe how a patient could be neglected so much. Based on the material that we have learned the lack of ethical theory of deontology in Dr. Evan was disturbing. As a doctor Dr. Evan’s role is to care for patients, keep them away from harm and prolong their life. Though in the trial he stated as if he didn’t care.

In the case of Donald (Dax) Cowart, one can determine that the conflict is between Beneficence and Autonomy. The doctors were morally right in choosing to treat Donald despite his autonomy by using the principle of beneficence. Firstly, doctors entire training is about how to save lives, so in a sense it is something they are morally obligated to do. Patients go to hospital in the hopes of being treated.

It It f It frustrates me what Dr. Anna Pou had to go through with the lawsuits of the Memorial Medical Center incident. As Healthcare professionals, being sued for making the rightful decision for the patient and the hospital is unjust. Healthcare professionals like Dr. Pou, have taken the Hippocratic oath, and one of the promises made within that oath is “first, do no harm”. Hospital’s should not be so quick to make such an important decision of pressing charges to their faculty; more trust should be placed in them. In addition, she made it clear her intentions were just to ‘‘help’’ patients ‘‘through their pain,’’ on national television.

For my literary essay topic I am writing upon is ‘some critics believe this novel illustrates the strength of the human spirit, cite two instances from the story to support this idea and examine their action in light of this claim’. Human spirit is considered a component of humanity that only human beings are capable and entitled of feeling. It is a mental feeling of awareness and understanding. It differs from psyche components such as emotion, personality and memories that are comprised of ones self. Human spirit in relation to this novel is going through the actions and events that the characters within the novel ‘Hiroshima’ had undergone and experienced.

In a casual manner, a high school freshman strolled off the brick path into the damp turf directly towards a basketball court located on the other side of the field. Slowly, he passed a brash orange basketball from hand to hand, as he waded gingerly through the wet grass, not eager to get grime on his navy blue shoes. The autumn breeze swept the aroma of petrichor, along with the maroon and gold maple leaves dancing around him, until they pirouetted into the park’s muddy grass. In the distance a glowing ball of yellow light hung, rising slowly from the horizon.
