Chiropractic Proposal: Rhetorical Analysis

In the essay, The Devil’s Bait by Leslie Jamison, Jamison emphasizes her paper about Morgellons Disease. Throughout her essay, Jamison introduces the urgency of the disease by going to a location that is known to have many people asking the doctors to believe them. The reason Morgellons Disease is an urgent topic that must be discussed is because many people feel like their voices are not being heard and ignored. Many have a disease whom they see as needing emergency treatment, however they are being told it is their brain playing tricks on them. The rhetor is compelled to speak about this issue for it gives those whom she interviewed a sense of voice and a call out to doctors to be more understanding of their patients.

This book incorporates a myriad of ethical violations, the majority occur when the character assumes that they know best how to avoid them. This is what I found most amusing about this story, those that wrote the book about ethics were the ones that violated them most. Sometimes intentionally, other times after intense justification of their actions. Of the main characters in the book, I figured that Ernest Lash would be the one to cross the line with Carolyn through his new course of treatment; transparency, and disclosure. A clinician revealing too much of oneself in a counseling session, as evidenced by the book, can be very dangerous territory.

Having power can be great because people feel the power and take on new challenges to better their lives, life without a risk will not get you very far. * An example of trust that affects communication is like when we are social workers we have to gain the trust of our clients.

Accepting an objective theory of wellbeing would allow you treat the patient because it says the patient is not the ultimate judge of what is good or bad for her. Varelius stats that “if the autonomy this person had if she continued living is objectively good for the person to the extent that it overweighs other competing values, then the patient’s decision not to be treated should be obeyed” (p.167). Analysis Varelius’ argument hinges on the idea

Chiropractor needs to be a good listener and good at communicating Your chiropractor should know his job perfectly and if he is not able to communicate effectively and understand from you exactly what you wish, then he is not good at his job. The first thing a chiropractor needs to remember is that he needs to be an effective communicator and should be a good listener, so that he is able to give the right treatment. Pre and post analysis: Identify a chiropractor who understands x-rays, thermography tests and muscle tests, so that he is able to identify and also suggest corrective measures for vertebral subluxations.

I believe that the characteristics of the model must have a set balance across the healthcare field to prohibit practitioners from neglecting some sides of the BPS model. There are some doctors and psychologists who claim that the model ’s weaknesses cannot be fixed, such as it being impractical due to the large amount of information that must be understood by practitioners and the confusion over how to balance the three facets of the model. While there are weaknesses, the benefits of an overall health model could aid mental health practitioners with understanding their patients in ways that they never had before. This benefit must be weighed against the possibility of using an impractical model that may not direct courses of

Symbolic interactionism is placing a meaning on an object and behave based of that meaning which might not be necessarily true. This theory is present within the novel because the Hmong ascribe a stigma to doctors and by doing so this causes them to interact with them differently. Another example of symbolic theory within the novel is the placenta that the Hmong symbolize. The placenta is symbolize as the passage for the soul and they were upset with the Western medicine for not being able to keep the placenta after child birth, however Dr. Fife did allow this which caused more interactions with Hmong for Dr. Fife. Also, even though doctors warn against the handling of the placenta because it may transfer disease, they ignore it because of the symbolic importance it have to them.

Although “some people think that euthanasia shouldn’t be allowed…because it could be abused and used as a cover for murder” (BBC- ethics-euthanasia: Ethics…, 2014), the Hippocratic Oath obliges the doctors to preserve life and uphold specific standards. According to the article written by Gorman, the constant demand for euthanasia by many patients, states in America, such as California, Oregon, and a few other states, have proposed bills and passed laws that allows doctors to assist in euthanizing and be protected from any lawsuits that declares the action to be a misuse of authority and privileges. It has also been debated over that it is not giving the patient the right to die but instead allowing the third party the right to kill. In a biblical perspective, some may also consider it as unethical and sinful because “all life is sacred and it should be kept at all cost” (Argument for euthanasia, 2013). Therefore, many disapprove since it goes against the religious belief of a natural death.
