Well all this is all happening to Ernest Lee Johnson; ABC news stated that in 2008 doctors removed part of a brain tumor found in his head. They also stated that scar tissue and the remaining tumor could cause seizure’s with Missouri’s use of midazolam and pentobarbital in lethal injections.…

The issue I want to talk about is whether or not medical professional especially doctors should be involved in the execution of prisoners. This paper does not evaluate whether or not lethal injection should happen but whether or not professionals should be involved. Before even writing this paper my current stance is that medical professionals should be involved. But my stance is not backed by any true fact but just a gut feeling. The importance of this issue falls within the practical issue…

The most common and considered the most humane method of execution used today is lethal injection.

The court ruled that the three-drug cocktail at issue in Baze did not violate an inmates Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishments. This…

The topic I chose to do research on for the brochure and the position paper was the controversial issue of lethal injections; if it goes against the Constitution or not. The most interesting thing I have learned throughout my research is that one of the drugs used in the lethal injection, sodium thiopental, is commonly used for general surgery. It puts the prisoner into a medically induced coma. The two other drugs used are pancuronium bromide and potassium bromide. Pancuronium bromide stops…

“Lethal injection is the practice of injecting a person with a fatal dose of drugs, typically a barbiturate, paralytic, and potassium solution for the express purpose of causing the immediate death of the subject.” (Lethal Injection Law) The main reason that this is used is for capital punishment. It first puts the individual to sleep, followed by stopping the breathing and also the heart. The Supreme Court is confused if the sedation is constitutional and is it cruel and usual punishment.…

under discussion here is should healthcare professionals continue to aspirate during intramuscular (IM) injections. Administering injections is a basic nursing activity and can be a great source of anxiety for the individual on the receiving end. Can we change that or help to relieve the pain and anxiety by changing our practice? Aspirating during IM injection leads to increased duration of injection time. Does this lead to more pain and anxiety? And will we be able to maintain patient safety…

believable to really outrageous. Diabetes is Contagious: Diabetes is not contagious like a catching cold or the flu. Diabetes develops when a person's body does not produce enough insulin, or cannot utilize the insulin that is produced. Insulin Injection is Necessary in all diabetic patients: Insulin shots are only required to patients suffering from Type 1 Diabetes.

Using the memory of last year's meningitis outbreak attributed to contaminated steroid injections still fresh in lots of back pain patients' recollections, a brand new study out of Johns Hopkins suggests that steroids may not be a necessary ingredient in pain-relieving injections. For many years, steroids happen to be thought to relieve spinal pain because they work as powerful anti-inflammatories. Research performed into their effectiveness in relieving spinal pain have yielded combined results…
