Cultural Differences In Health Care Essay

When Jeannette explains to Rex Walls what Erma did to Brian, he starts to shake and cover his ears and pretend like he couldn’t hear them. After Lori and Jeannette talk, Jeannette thinks, “You’d be weird, too, if Erma was your mom... it would explain a lot… Why he drank so much and why he got so angry.” Rex Walls tried to escape from Welch and its people for a better future, but in the end couldn’t escape from his problems because he focused too much on his past and never gave the future his complete attention. When the mines started to shut down, many people turned to alcohol and drugs to keep their minds off of their problems in life.

Our healthcare providers would impact Native Americans and healthcare by showing them that we respect them and want to be there to help them anyways that we can so

I do believe that generational differences can have an impact on patient care, but it does not necessarily mean that impact is bad. Our ATI book focuses on some of the standout characteristics of each generation such as the baby boomer tendencies toward accepting authority and being loyal workaholics versus the gen Xers who place a higher priority on work/life balance and are more likely to leave a job but adapt more easily to change (Sommer, 2013, p. 37). These attitudes can result in conflicts as younger generations may be viewed as self-centered and lazy whereas older generations may be viewed to blindly follow protocols that are no longer valid and supported by scientific data; working hard rather than working smart. I tend to think of

Anti-abortion protestors are instilling fear in the doctors and all those around them. Bill O 'Reilly has said some harsh comments about Dr.Tiller on the air referring to him as a killer. We have freedom of speech but when it hurts others there is a limit to it. This movement to make abortions unavailable is working. Abortion providers and those around them are terrified.

Beneficence the action that protects and prevents harm of others and improves their situation (Pantilat, 2008). By changing the code status of this resident with treatment that is futile can improve the resident’s situation. The health care providers can concentrate on pain control and comfort management verses forcing treatment on the resident that will not improve their situation or relieve their suffering. Giving CPR and breaking her ribs to an actively dying resident could be considered doing physical harm which does not not result in improving the resident’s condition. Fidelity is loyalty, fairness, truthfulness, advocacy, and dedication to our patients.

This happened because the Americans were frightened for their country, family and way of lie, so they thought that they would be safer if the Japanese weren’t free. The Japanese Internment Camps were very similar to the Salem witch Trails because neither the accused “witches” or the Japanese Americans weren’t given the opportunity to defend themselves against persecutions. The Japanese were forced to go to these camps regardless of whether they were born in Japan or the US. They were presumed guilty of being a threat instead of being presumed

It is obvious that medical treatment can be very helpful for the patient and would provide results. However simple companionship may also help as they could simply talk about their problem. Counselling might actually help more than medical treatment which may have more of a negative effect emotionally on the patient. Medical treatment aims to heal the patients so they can return and function properly in society however this is not the case in ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ written by Ken Kasey. In his novel the mental institution serves as a method to keep the patients away from society and doesn’t function to help the men but to keep them passive.

They felt that their freedom was being suppressed by the government. The government puts several bans on drugs and made censorship a more widespread regulation. The new generation wanted to be as free as possible and the government and social norms stopped them from that. Thus, resulted in a brand-new generation of a rebellious minority. Hippie rebelled in music, drugs, clothes, and beliefs.

In this incident, if I told any incorrect information to my patient, she would start to suspect whether I am a medical student or not and start not to believe me. Hence, our relationship would be destroyed. It is important for us to stand from patients’ point of view to think about their thought and ensure the information shared must be accurate before starting any conversation with the

Personally, I support Miss Chanwalee’s claim as increasing lawsuits against doctors may lead to medical industry

Would you be willing to turn your back on your family in order to be the person you knew you were meant to

Family and group solidarity are important to the Hmong, yet they were forced to split apart during their journey to America. The Hmong also partook in ceremonies, dances, and sacrifices that were important to them and their religion, however, the doctors and other people were wary of these practices and didn’t condone them, especially when it came to patients such as Lia Lee. Lee’s doctors were constantly giving her shots, medicine, and feeding her through tubes. Her parents didn’t approve of this at all and thought that the medicines they were giving her was what was killing her.

Alejandro 's story shows that immigrants want to get away from the danger that is evident in their country. By Alejandro staying in Honduras, his life would have been at stake. The New York Times article relates to The Bean Trees,as the issue of immigrants fleeing their country out of danger applies to the characters Estevan and Esperanza. Both Estevan and Esperanza are Guatemalan immigrants who fled their country out of the danger that was their government. Estevan was involved in a teachers union which the Guatemalan government was against, which led the government to go as far as to kill family members and to take Estevan and Esperanza 's child.

What has distinguished Vietnam veterans from most of their predecessors is that the public 's detestation of the war seemed to be directed onto them, as if it was their fault. Thus they did not return as heroes, but as men suspected in participating in shocking cruelty and wickedness or feared to be drug addicts. The combination of society rejecting them, the government ignoring them, and their families not understanding to them, caused Vietnam veterans to self-destruct both mentally and sometimes physically.

As previously described, the United States is the country that spends the most money in health care in the world. For example, just in the year 2008, it spent 16.2 percent of its gross domestic product on health- care (Gaydos 700). Through the population health model, investment and policy decisions in areas such as education, income transfer, civil rights, macroeconomics, employment, welfare, housing, and neighborhoods would have a significant effect on improving a population’s health than increasing the spending on medical services. (Jonas & Kovner 92). Through this model, there might not only be a decrease in what is spent by the country in health care services, but also an improvement in many other areas that would improve the economy of
