    Case Study Approaches to Ethical Dilemas

    The case study I chose is that of six-year-old Tavion Robinson who was taken to Methodist Hospital by his father for a broken arm and abrasions. There were a couple of things in this case that could insinuate that the broken arm and abrasions were not an accident. The father being hesitant to leave Tavion alone with hospital staff was the first red flag that something could be wrong. Secondly, Mr. Robinson’s request that he be notified prior to releasing Tavion’s records to anyone. Thirdly, informing the Emergency Department that Tavion’s parents are divorced and that the mother the non-custodial parent may not access Tavion’s records without his consent. In retrospect not leaving him alone with staff could be the actions of very concerned father, releasing his information to just anyone is also understandable to protect his son’s privacy but to not allow the mother to access his records without his consent sends up a red flag immediately.…

    Ethics Case Study

    Dr. Williams assistant Jerry does have the training but does not have the ability to make a call for a patient because if he prescribed the wrong dosage amount then there will be in trouble with the patient and also with HIPAA. It will not be in the best interest of Jerry to make this call for Dr. Williams without making a call to Dr. Williams first. In order for this to happen without breaking any laws, Jerry needs to have communication with Dr. Williams. To keep the integrity of office Jerry should ensure that the proper medication and make sure that it is the patient’s correct prescription if Dr. Williams gives the okay for jerry to provide the Valium for the patient.

    When the Levees Broke Rhetorical Analysis

    Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana on the morning of August 29, 2005. The storm produced sustained winds of up 125 mph when it hit that morning. On that same day Katrina caused 53 different levee breaches in greater New Orleans, spilling the waters of Lake Pontchartrain into the city and flooding an overwhelming majority of New Orleans. The floodwaters destroyed countless homes and lives along the way. Some estimates of the cost of Katrina were up in the 200 billions but according to Kimberly Amadeo, “The actual cost of Hurricane Katrina's damage was between $96-$125 billion, with $40-$66 billion in insured losses.” This statistic makes Katrina one of the most expensive natural disasters to ever hit the United States. Money wasn’t the only thing that was lost; the storm killed roughly 1,500 people in Louisiana alone. Floodwaters stayed in New Orleans for weeks leaving many people stranded and fighting for their lives. Post-Katrina New Orleans was a war zone with looting, shootings, robbery, and people desperately needing help from the government. Help was slow to arriving though. People went days and days without food or any kind of help at all. Many people died from all sorts of different causes. Deaths ranged from heat exhaustion in attics to drowning in the street and even in the victims own home. The majority of citizens of New Orleans’ ninth ward feel like the government did not take the right measures in getting help to the victims of the storm and they also feel like the destruction altogether could have been avoided had the levees been built correctly.…

    Ethics Case Study

    Medical laws have been put into place to protect not only the patient, but also the physicians, nurses, and medical office staff. The laws were put into place to ensure that these professionals follow the correct procedures and steps that only qualified persons follow. The definition of practicing medicine has also been clearly explained. Those professionals who do not abide by these set laws are therefore subject to punishment by law (Baxter 2005).…

    Trouble The Water Analysis

    Trouble the Water is not solely about Hurricane Katrina and its calamitous aftermath, but it is an honest, raw footage that displayed how America treats its poor and displaced citizens, particularly in time of dire need. Given U. S impressive response to humanitarian crises, and use of the top of the line gadgets to combat enemies in war-torn zones, the disappointing non-governmental response in New Orleans begs to question the capability of the U.S to response to disaster within its own country. A closer look at the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina will reveal the unfortunate truth of negligence, overt racism and insensitivity. Though all encompassing, this essay examines the documentary from the lens of structural violence as it relates to the general poor and African American.…

    Unpreparedness: The Three Main Causes Of Hurricane Katrina

    Danny Glover once stated, “When Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf and the floodwaters rose and tore through New Orleans, it did not turn the region into a Third World country…it revealed one” (Glover). As the winds reached speeds of 100 to 140 miles per hour, water crashed against the levees, breaking them, and flooding 80% of Louisiana. Hurricane Katrina’s peaked at a category five, but disintegrated into a category three. The third deadliest hurricane is what Hurricane Katrina achieved. In the wake of a dark time, Hurricane Katrina proved to America how crucial preparedness is and three reasons Hurricane Katrina proved unpreparedness include; The New Orleans poorly built levee system, the prolonged displacement of hundreds of thousands…

    Effects of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans

    As tropical storm Katrina formed into a category five hurricane, all gulf coast residents were warned. “By August 28, evacuations were underway across the region. That day, the National Weather Service predicted that after the storm hit, “most of the [Gulf Coast] area will be uninhabitable for weeks…perhaps longer.” After the evacuation plan was announced, those that were able to leave before the storm did. Poor and less fortunate residents had to stay put for the horrible storm brewing just miles away. There were also the stubborn elderly that insisted on staying just because they survived “Hurricane Betsy” in 1965, but what they would soon come to realize is they would be putting themselves and their families in danger.…

    The Devastating Tragedy Of Hurricane Katrina

    Hurricane Katrina was a devastating tragedy that changed the lives of many for worse. New Orleans was not prepared for the magnitude of such a disaster that would impact not only the city, but the people forever. The federal system was slow to evacuate people and did not emphasize the potential severity of the storm. In all “... Hurricane Katrina killed nearly 2,000 people and affected some 90,000 square miles of the United States”(Later). People did not expect for Katrina to be this deadly in thinking so they did not leave their homes and as a result many of them died. The Morial Convention Center was only capable of hosting a couple of thousands of people leaving the rest of the city to fend for themselves. Up to “tens of thousands of people…

    Hurricane Katrina Environment

    Hurricane Katrina made landfall in the Gulf Coast on August 29, but first touched down in Florida a few days earlier. In Florida the storm was only a Category 1 and caused minimal damage to people and the environment. However, the well documented damage caused in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana was one of the greatest natural disasters to ever strike the United States. While much of the Gulf Coast was adversely affected by the hurricane, the majority of damage to human life and the environment was in and around New Orleans. While the hurricane was only a Category 3 when it touched down it caused the destruction of levees in New Orleans. When the levees broke water rushed into the city causing unprecedented amounts of damage. The initial flooding destroyed residential neighborhoods as well as businesses. The debris caused from this destruction, as well as the stagnant water in the city, would pose tremendous health risks in the coming days and weeks.…
