The doctor was scheduled to perform CT-Guided Biopsy (needle point).
Prior to the day of the procedure, my mother had just completed high doses of CHEMO and radiation treatments. Life for my mother will never be the same. Terrible things happen and sometimes one just moves on, however, this case will not rest until patient care and treatment improves, the involved health professionals are properly trained on how administer general sedation, improved surgery/procedure protocols are better implemented. In addition, my mother needs notification about what types of improvement training will be implemented through research-based practices at Central Florida Regional Hospitals.

Individual issues warrant attention and the whole experience needs to be addressed. My mother has experienced everything from nightmares, falling out of bed, and what appears to be aggressive screaming in your sleep toward the doctor and nurse. I do not understand how or why they could have been so irritated by someone else’s expression of pain. As a doctor or nurse, you cannot alienate or deny a person’s feelings of pain. If someone is hurting and expressing pain during a surgical procedure, then the persons trained to care for patients should understand that movements and comments about being in pain IS A CRY FOR HELP and should not to be taken

    In the case of Mr. L, he consented to the thorough medical examination. It further states, “Mr. L otherwise is in good health and is alert, oriented, and mentally intact.” (Kapp, M., 2010, p.28). Mr. L has also not executed a durable power of attorney for health care. It seems to me that the doctor has broken the HIPAA privacy rules by consulting with the granddaughter about the diagnosis and treatment options without getting permission from Mr. L. By researching the question of, “Does the HIPAA Privacy Rule permit a doctor to discuss a patient’s health status, treatment, or payment arrangements with the patient’s family and friends?”…

    According to Health Professional Council Authority (2015) conduct pathway “allows the council to manage notifications (complaints) that may constitute unsatisfactory professional conduct or professional misconduct”. Furthermore, according to Staunton and Chiarella (2013) “unsatisfactory professional conduct includes conduct that is substantially below the standard reasonably expected of a registered health care practitioner of an equivalent level of training or experience”. Based on the case study of Conyard [2015], the nurse was not able to recognise and respond to the deteriorating condition of the patient when the vital signs were in the red zone, in addition, the nurse was not able to document all the necessary assessments and plan of care. According to the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (2011), recognising and responding to deteriorating patient includes measurement and documentation of observations, escalation of care, activating rapid response system and communicating with the team about the clinical deterioration.
