What Other Reasons Are Evident For Dr. Johnson's Narcotics Problem

Decent Essays
Besides basic human weakness, what other reasons are evident for Dr. Johnson’s narcotics problem?
Other reasons that are evident for Dr. Johnson’s narcotics problem is the fact that he had complete access to the lock box that the narcotics were in; as well as being the only person who had keys to that lock box. Also, there were no procedures in place to help keep track of the narcotics that were leaving that lock box, and no one was following up with the checkout log to find out who was taking them and for whom they were taking them to. Sometimes he would even take narcotics from the lock box for a patient, but instead keep it for himself.
Does Community Hospital of the West bear any responsibility for Dr. Johnson’s predicament?
I think that

    In my representation of Stepford Hospital, I would make the initial argument that there was a lack of oversight and poor communication by the Principal Investigator, Dr. Ego, his entire clinical and administrative staff, Pretty Good Medical Devices (PGMD), and their trial associates. Also, it has now become evidently clear that all Dr. Ego wanted to do was utilize the hospital facilities for his own gain (Product, Monetary, and Reputation) and that he nor his staff cared about logistical or billing matters when it came to the overall clinical trial. His own statement to Nurse Q. Tam, “Not my problem, Connie, and not yours either. The geniuses over at the hospital can figure this out, and that’s what they’re paid to do. I have no idea how they bill their portion, and I could care less” (GWU Program Integrity Case Study, 2018) is a large representation of that.…

Nothing was done by the hospital to try and learn form this mistake. Rather than investigate the factors that caused the event, such as over worked nurses and similar labels on drugs, the hospital placed blame on the nurse in order to try to avoid expensive lawsuits. Listening to Thao’s story made me fearful as a future nurse.…

    In Addition, Jekyll suffers from alcoholism or some other form of substance abuse in the novel that could have easily been caused by the previously mentioned disorder. According to Lilienfeld, “when Hyde runs into a little girl on the street and then mauls her, his action is judged by Mr. Enfield, the observer, as that of a "Juggernaut." Reed connects the Orientalism of this insult to the continuous imagery of rampant alcohol use among the "undeserving poor," pointing out that temperance discourse named the liquor industry as "the juggernaut." Lilienfeld touches on a subject that many people have noticed within the novel. This alcoholism was also evident in the scene where Dr. Lanyon gave Hyde a disguised Hyde the potion and when Utterson discovered…

    Drug abusers use various methods to avoid detection and obtain prescription painkillers for illegitimate uses. Many rogue physicians facilitate the drug abusers by illegally supplying the drugs. Other physicians do not have adequate training to recognize or address prescription drug abuse. Finally, pharmacists, the suppliers of most prescription painkillers, may be unable to detect potential drug abuse or, in the case of rogue pharmacists may promote it. State PDMPs intended to combat prescription drug abuse have made some limited progress but they do not, and cannot, live up to their potential for the numerous reasons outlined in this Article.…
