Clare And Suicide Case Study

Decent Essays
If I find Clare, in a very gorgy state with a empty bottle of anti-depressants, first I would take the bottle of her hand. I would assume she tried to commit suicide and I would call ambulance at once. Because Clare is still conscious, I’ll try to keep her awake until help arrives, with talking to her. If she starts losing consciousness, until the vehicle arrives I’ll liberate the breathing paths (I’ll take off prothesis or other foreign body if she has some, scraps of food from the mouth), turn her on side, take care her mouth and nose are free, and the tongue in the normal position (to prevent tongue swallowing into throat, I’ll turn her head maximally back, holding her chin).
To safe someones life it is essential to call the medical professional

    Did They, Didn’t They?: A Question of Suicide in the 1800’s Evansville, Indiana has changed drastically over the past 130 years, and as the city, along with the rest of the world, changes, so do the structures of many occupations.

    Suicide rates among the AI/AN population age fifteen to thirty-four years is almost 250% higher the general population and suicide is now the second leading cause of death for AI/ANs (Gray & McCullagh, 2014). Gray and McCullagh (2014), report that mental and behavioral health problems, stressful life events, and substance abuse are directly related to an increased suicide risk and unfortunately many AI/AN communities are affected by these risk factors in combination with more (drug and alcohol use, violence exposure, and limited resources). One theory as to why there is such a high suicide rate among AI/AN youth, as stated by Gray and McCullagh (2014), “is that there is a disconnect and a sense of loss of belonging to both their culture and…

    Should we let die, or let live and suffer is a moral dilemma that arises when it comes to the case of Jahi McMath. Jahi McMath is a thirteen-year-old female who was declared dead by doctors after having a tonsillectomy in an Oakland hospital in California in 2014. After what was supposed to be one of three routine surgeries for sleep apnea, Jahi suffered post-surgical complications after a tonsillectomy which left her brain dead, and on mechanical life support. Doctors at the hospital determined that Jahi’s cerebral cortex had stopped functioning, and that her brain stem was destroyed after she endured her complications, and in their opinion, she should be left to die. In the 1980, Uniform determination of Death Act, death is defined as “the irreversible cessation of all…
