Janet Watson: A Case Study

Decent Essays
Janet,

Your mother’s physician treated her and her family with compassion the way human beings should be treated. I am so glad she had a doctor who really cared about her by trying every way to get her better before having to make her comfortable. I am sure he had to get his thoughts together before he spoke with your mother and the family because he really cared about her. It is hard watching a parent go through illness but she did not go through it alone she had you and her family.

    Such decisions regarding patients with severe and deteriorating illness should be processed with respect to the patient’s condition becoming worse with time. Having an ethics board or a medical community to alleviate the pressure of a single doctor making a decision for a patient who is not able to act autonomously would allow for a treatment plan to be determined earlier. In Mary’s case, the court ruling prevented the doctor’s from acting to save her…

    But was he really making his decision based on his own intrinsic values for moral goodness? Had this same event occurred in today’s medical community, the physician would be bound by HIPAA. Violation of it comes with substantial fines, imprisonment, or both. The expectations of HIPAA laws are taught to all healthcare employees annually at a minimum. Examples of violations: accessing a patient’s chart when you aren’t directly caring for that patient, running into someone at Walmart and giving them information about who is being treated in the hospital, faxing information regarding a patient’s health to someone not authorized to have it, and the list goes on.…

    1. The most important thing that I learned was the fact that UCs and CSUs accept 70 units as the maximum transferable units opposed to 60 units like I thought.

I also learned more in depth about the pass and no pass options for classes, although she did emphasize that you can only use this strategy for 12 units in total and that it isn’t advised to use it on major requirements such as math and English.…

    I came across a report Racial Bias in Health Care and Health penned by Dr. David R. Williams and Dr. Ronald Wyatt which discusses racial and ethnic disparities from a health care perspective and why steps should be taken to address it. He shares his experience when confronted with implicit and explicit bias as a patient at a local hospital. Implicit bias is behavior that results from subtle implicit attitudes and implicit stereotypes that often happen unconsciously and without any overt intent. I personally connect to this article as I recall several instances where my mother, grandmother and I were involved with medical personnel who we felt treated us negatively due either to biases, microagression, lack of cultural humility/sensitivity,…
