Assisted Outpatient Care Pros And Cons

Drug addiction discriminates against no one. Drug addiction is often close to home. “Even people with no baseline genetic risk can become addicts if their environment is stressful.” Drug addiction is a complex problem that is often misunderstood and difficult to address due to the high illicit drug use. According to the 2012 Lancet Series on addiction it “estimates 200 million people world wide use illicit drugs each year.”

Alan’s therapist, Crystal Mangir, also said “If Alan were in a wheelchair, or had a cast on his leg, people would understand that something happened… but no one can see a broken brain” (Crimmins 199). This mentality would show why after Alan regained his ability of movement, the insurance companies decided not to pay for Alan’s rehab therapy since he was no longer in need of therapy. After a traumatic brain injury it is very important to relearn the daily bases activity and in most cases physical therapy is the final step to complete physical recovery. This misunderstanding of brain injury was what Cathy Crimmins hoped to shed light on throughout this

Since 1960s, some U.S. states have maintained old rules or tightened them, while others have granted more rights. Today, people actually sitting in prison lose the right to vote in 48 of the 50 states (all except Maine and Vermont). Denying the right to vote to an entire class of citizens is deeply problematic to a democratic society and counterproductive to effective reentry into being a human with ‘civic duties’. But current prisoners only represent about one-fourth of the 6.1 million disenfranchised. The rest are either probationers under supervision in their communities, or people on parole after serving their prison sentences from soup to nuts.

Multiple Sclerosis is a real life disease, that effects real life people, so why is it not portrayed on television? Nancy Mairs life with Multiple Sclerosis was one thing she could not control. Showing people what living with MS can be like was something she might be able to change. Nancy Mairs makes a point in her essay about advertising companies, that just because the person in the Coke commercial is in a wheelchair doesn’t mean they they’ll lose business. People with disabilities are real and live day in and day out just like “normal people”, they shouldn’t be excluded from what’s shown in the media.

(DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services) In Davidson v. Cannon, a case heard immediately after Daniels, the Court reiterated its newfound belief that "where a government official is merely negligent in causing the injury, no procedure for compensation is constitutionally required." (The Battered Child 8) The future impacts of Joshua DeShaney’s case will last a long time, and effect many future cases.

Earlier, the word “Senility” was used for Alzheimer disease and it was thought that Alzheimer is a new kind of mental disorder. According to Schmid (2008), a German Psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin first time used the term of Alzheimer disease in his famous book. In 1974, NIA (National Institute on Aging) was established by Congress to support the researches related to Alzheimer disease. During the era of 1976, Robert Katzman was a neurologist who found that Alzheimer disease is a prevalent form of Dementia. Katzman’s finding shows the world that Alzheimer disease is not because of aging.

Linde also states, “The recipient 's health insurance incurs the expense of the donor 's pre-op, surgery and post-op recovery, as well as any unanticipated complications in the following year.” (Linde paragraph 11) This means that if people have a problem after being matched up with an organ health insurance pays for everything else so they could help with payments for the alive organ. In his article, "Brain Death and Organ Donation,”James DuBois, a writer for the magazine “America” confirms, “An organ that has been deprived of oxygen sufficiently long will die, and it is medically impossible to change dead brain cells to living brain cells.” (DuBois paragraph 7) Basically, DuBois is emphasizing that an organ that does not have much oxygen left to live on, will die, so by using living organs will be a beneficiary.

While Americans were enthusiastic about the establishment but instead of the 2,00 centers, only 754 were in place in 1980. Despite

Cons of Organ Donation states that a patient can leave the hospital with 10 or 15 prescriptions. Also a factor people don 't think about is how much time off work they will miss recovering. Legally, a donor is not allowed to receive any money for their organ donation. In this case the remaining balance after the recipient 's insurance, prescriptions, treatments, and any long term effects on your body come out of your pocket. There are some religious views that are against organ donation.

There are on average 52,404 deaths in the US each year. This should be eye awakening, but yet the government doesn’t care. Required drug screenings would help lower the use of drugs. Senator David Vitter argues, “Requiring screenings would give addicts a key incentive to seek help so that they can once again be healthy, support their own families, and make positive contributions to our society”(Welfare drug testing 2). If people are truly concerned about getting the help they need, welfare, than they need to be serious enough to get help from drugs.

In a most recent research Poll done by Andrew Dugan in May of 2015, 81% of individuals from the ages 18-34 believed that Physician Assisted suicide should be allowed. 65% of individuals from the ages 35-54 believe that it should also be allowed and 61% of individuals ages 55 and up believe that it should be. It is believed that conservatives are against Physician Assisted Suicide because they believe it is “immoral and unethical to deliberately end the life of a terminally ill person”. In different, liberals see is as the opposite. They see it as, a terminally ill patient should have the choice to end the pain and suffering.

Life and Death in Assisted Living Facilities Assisted living facilities are one of the fastest growing industries in the United States. Unfortunately, assisted living facilities have a history of being problematic. Specific cases from the movie Life and Death in Assisted Living Facilities indicates that assisted living facilities are often under staffed, poorly trained, and often admit elderly patients who are not qualified candidates for their facilities (Byker and Thompson, 2013). When taking this in to account, it is important to consider why families may admit their loved ones in to assisted living facilities.

Addiction treatment can be handled through many methodologies. The important thing is getting patients into treatment before an addiction has the ability to destroy their lives. One reason why people avoid treatment is because of the presumed restrictive nature of residential treatment. In fact, many top drug and alcohol treatment centers, Beaches Recovery of Jacksonville, Florida included, will offer a larger range of treatment options. Outpatient care could certainly be a viable option.
