Medical prescription

I didn’t know what kind of doctor; all I knew is that I wanted to be a doctor. Later on, I decided that I wanted to be a surgeon. I started watching YouTube videos of surgeries, Greys Anatomy, Stories of the ER, and anything that included the medical field. After watching these programs, I decided that I didn’t want to be the one cutting into a body, I didn’t want to be in charge of making life or death incisions and carrying out risky procedures. However, I still longed to be part of a,…

Robert Frost’s poem explains my journey to medical school best. Medicine has been my plan since 3rd grade. Looking back, I can see myself standing at a crossroad debating which path to take. I chose to take the path most medical students do not – a less “traditional” path that led me to this point. I’ve encountered many challenges, experienced many setbacks, but ultimately persevered until I’ve achieved success. Through my experiences, I’ve developed many skills like service, leadership, and…

In healthcare, the decisions around patients should be utmost to the benefit of the patient. Beneficence is the ethical principle that underlines that. As Edge & Groves stated, it is the practitioners’ obligation to promote decisions to better the health of a patient while not inhibiting a patient’s right to autonomy (2006). Any decisions made available to patients should be for the good. John Cutler, the study doctor of the Tuskegee group, stated in Deadly Deception that the withholding of…

“2BR02B” is a short story by Kurt Vonnegut that describes a society where a strict policy of population control has abolished human afflictions like war and disease, extending life expectancy and eliminating virtually all involuntary death. The law, however, dictates that to maintain the population, every newborn infant must die unless someone voluntarily undergoes euthanasia and dies in its place. Thus, suicide is ethical and state-sanctioned; people who no longer wish to live can call the…

Suffer, Pain, Death: Animal Experimentation Would you like to see innocent animals suffering for you? No right because a lot of animals die and get tested for a lot of things such as for medical reasons, cosmetics products,and other things. For example, people who wear makeup they’re using products that are being tested on animals. They get tortured and suffer when they get tested, animals feel pain just as we humans do. Animal testing/experimentation is not necessary because it leads to…

Many of his thoughts and scientific research is still the basis of our modern day medical field. Every time a medical student graduates they swear to the oath of, “I will give no deadly medicine to anyone if asked, nor suggest any such counsel,” and this exact oath was formulated by Hippocrates. In all respects, the Father of Medicine was against euthanasia…

Belshaw (XXXX-1) argues that death is a misfortune when it cuts short a live that one wanted to live. He agrees that death can be bad in absence of this requirement, but only bad in a way that does not matter. That is, death can be had as rust is bad for a tractor. The rust deteriorates the general condition of the tractor, and in that sense, it is bad for the tractor. However, the tractor does not suffer this badness, and thus it is not harmed by the rust. Consequently, the rust is bad for the…

Introduction The case of Terri Schiavo brought attention to the debate over the right-to-die. On both sides of the debate, people from around the world, including the Vatican, weighed in with their opinion and viewpoints. There was no correct answer and no easy answer about if Terri Schiavo should live, with the requirements of extensive long-term care, or if she should die, presuming her informal conversation she had with Michael Schiavo about life-saving and prolonging were enough to make the…

And the phone call” altered from the beginning of chapter 1 of “Medical Law and Ethics” inscribed by Bonnie Fremgen, it exemplifies how a…

In this paper, I will address Singer’s argument on his belief that we are morally required to donate money to charity to save people from poverty related deaths. Many people die every day due to poverty and their deaths go unnoticed; their lives could be saved with a small donation from people who can afford to do so. Singer proposes a valid argument as well as a sound one, and therefore we ought to trust his conclusion on donating money to save people from poverty related deaths. I will break…
