Driver Smith's Medical Certificates: Case Study

However, this study was proven to be unethical due to the fact that Wakefield paid children at a party in exchange for blood samples involved in the study. Ultimately, though the study was retracted, it had already sprung an increase in vaccine hesitancy, which is defined as the “delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccines despite the availability of vaccination services” (World Health Organization). False claims towards vaccinations such as Wakefield’s are what spark a fear in parents and lead to the misconception that the harms of vaccines outweigh the

Start by providing a short 4-6-line synopsis of the key elements of the case – and discuss what kind of incident occurred (week 1). In this case, “Medical error kills Hopkins Cancer Patient” by Erika Niedowski, the error was the failure of a planned action to be completed or intended and the use of a wrong plan for instance overdosage of potassium to achieve an aim. These errors were preventable and may not have caused the harm. Preventable adverse drug events and their causes and contributing factors had caused stopped Brianna Cohen's heart.

There were 127 medical malpractice cases in Pennsylvania last year. An example of these cases could be an exploratory surgery to diagnose a patient and the incision became infected because the patient failed to clean the incision sight properly. Seems to me that the doctor was just doing his/her job but in the end, he/she got sued. Medical malpractice can be described as an act or omission by a doctor or physician that lead to the harm of a patient (Kindy). Certain laws and bills have been put in place to discourage people from suing doctors for problems that are completely out of the doctor’s hands.

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.

I spent a long time talking to Tina about a third-party action, possible recovery and our contribution to that recovery. This happened as a result of a motor vehicle accident and has some pretty bad injuries. I think we are paying his wife for home health services. So I went over the fact we have no lien on the first $50,000.00 but our lien as of today is about $228,000.00 The claimant’s third-party attorney is calling and asking how much we have paid but they haven’t been asking for consent to any third-party.

With all these factors and influences taken into account and determination of Ms Holmes the

I feel with some funding we could find cures for these diseases because everyone should donate or become a donor. I also feel the government not funding the labs and doctors so these breakthroughs can happen and more and more people are dying because of it. The government also needs to help raise awareness for organ donation and encourage people to become a donor. Because one donation saves 8 lives think about the number of people that are on the waiting list for a transplant. What if every person was able to become a donor?

But, after the accident the plaintiff reported back pain, so he went to Dr. Gulish. Years after the accident he was still experiencing pain. Dr. Gulish found some signs that could have caused him pain, but an anonymous call said that the plaintiff was selling his prescribed medicine. But, no real evidence was found. The plaintiff did this because he wanted the judge to think it caused major injuries to him so that he would win the case.

I think Julie's behavior is unprofessional and unethical due to the fact being medical assistant only and not a doctor. For that reason any medical staff including Julie face ethical issues in a medical office on the daily basis. There are some guidelines Julie should follow while working with any patients: -Provide services with full respect for human dignity -“Aspire to render great service” to patients -“Dedicated to the care and well being of patients” -Respect confidential information unless required or authorized to disclose in a legal manner -Seek to continually improve knowledge and skills -Participate in services aimed at improving the well-being of the community and so on. Medical assistant should not diagnose and discuss a patient's

There is a list of reasons which are important to receiving a certificate in medical assisting. Imagine putting challenging work into classes and exams but having nothing to show for it. That is how most employers will see a MA over a CMA (certified medical assistant). Being employed and getting a job is of the most importance in becoming a nationally credentialed medical assistant. After employment comes the pay rate and how likely it is to keep the job.

The Medical Assistant’s Creed is a collection of formal statements that reflect the morals and values that a medical assistant should adhere to daily. Each line holds its own meaning and together they reflect the different areas of responsibility that a medical office assistant has regarding patient care, self-betterment, daily practices, and ethics. “I believe in the principles and purposes of the profession of medical assisting.” This line means that one should wholeheartedly adopt the ethics of a medical office assistant and strive towards providing the best quality of care to each patient, as well as completing every assigned task to the best of one’s ability.
