Law And Order Episode: The Harvest
In the Law and Order episode, “The Harvest” the decision that is made in court, is my decision as well. Both Dr. Cosgrove and Elias are completely guilty. In the beginning, Nancy O’Neal is riding home with her husband, Marty, in the car on the passenger’s side. Not intended as the target, Nancy is shot by an unknown shooter. This wound ultimately puts her in the hospital unresponsive. Detectives Briscoe and Curtis easily track down the shooter known as Elias Camacho. Elias stated that he just intended to scare her husband, and not actually shoot anyone. Unknowingly, Elias’s actions have really put Nancy in a medical conundrum. A situation that did not really look suspicious, until Jamie Ross discovered an anomaly. The time of Nancy’s death …show more content…
Cosgrove had a financial motive. He wanted the money and the power. There was this new job that was offered to him. This job had a significantly higher pay wage, so of course Dr. Cosgrove would take this job. There was a catch though, he had to have a heart lung block. He had to receive a heart and a lung from an eligible donor. Nancy just happened to fall right into his lap. Dr. Cosgrove has a power hungry personality, with slight sociopathic tendencies. He does not care about someone’s emotions or consequences as long as he gets what he wants. Looping back to the third APNEA test, it was falsified. Not only was Dr. Hsu supposed to be present, but also Marty said, “I could see her breathing.”(“Harvest”) Nancy failing that third test was next to impossible. Nancy might have been like a corpse, but her brain was very much alive. “It doesn't matter. This was not a mercy killing. It was murder for profit." (“Harvest”) Dr. Cosgrove did this just to obtain her heart and lungs for his own personal gain. He murdered Nancy O’Neal just to harvest her organs. Nancy was not targeted like most victims are. Dr. Donald Cosgrove would have taken another poor soul’s organs, if they too had fell right in his lap. This poor soul just happened to be

    On Monday February 29, the custodial staff at the Middle School Building at St. George’s Independent School called the police station to state that they had found a dead body lying face down in the office of room M223. There was no evident cause of death: no obvious trauma, no gunshot wounds, no puncture wounds, but blood was found on and around the body. There were cups of dr. pepper and a sticky note pad along with some other evidence found on the crime scene. An officer interviewed the Middle School Director, Mrs. Lori Williamson, and was informed that Felix Navidad was hired to evaluate the efficiency and productivity of the seventh grade faculty. He would make recommendations for salary adjustments and staffing decisions. I believe that Tara Mae Mulroy should be charged with the murder of…

    The Henrietta Lacks case brings up a lot of different issues, most of which have to do with ethical dilemmas. First off, Henrietta is an African American woman who came from a poor part of Virginia and was poorly educated and, unfortunately, so was most of her family. Where she grew up was mostly full of members of her family and ended up marrying her cousin, Day, now that is a heavily frowned upon in mainstream society but where she grew up it was normal. She and Day eventually moved to Baltimore, Maryland with their children. Baltimore, at the time, was heavily segregated and racism ran rampant. When she went in to John Hopkins medical center for her first treatment of her misdiagnosed cancer her doctor, without her knowledge, cut a small sliver of her tumor off and gave it to George Gey. Gey then took that sample and produced the first continuously reproducing human cell culture and culture medium to keep them going. After she had died, Gey sent an assistant to get another sliver from her corpse which ultimately failed to produce the same results, but after she had passed Day had only given permission for an autopsy. Eventually,…

    Dr. Linda Reynolds of Brooke Street Surgery in Hyde reported to the coroner in March 1998 that she and Deborah Massey from Frank Massey and Son’s Funeral Parlour both had concerns about the high death rate of Harold Shipman’s patients. A particular area of concern was the number of cremation forms for elderly women that needed to be countersigned, and Dr. Reynolds believed Harold Shipman was responsible for their deaths. The matter was brought to the attention of the police, but they were unable to find enough evidence to press charges. The Shipman Inquiry later blamed the police for assigning inexperienced officers to the case, the first failing of the authorities which led to a further 3 people being killed before Shipman was eventually arrested and convicted.…

    Death investigations around the United States vary greatly, depending on the structure of the presiding Medical Examiner or Coroner’s office – if one exists for the area. The International Association of Forensic Nurses website states, “Every state/county has different needs and resources, and every state/county may run death investigations with a different approach. What matters is that every effort be made to ensure a thorough, accurate, and timely investigation. A faulty cause of death determination can significantly impact surviving family members, agencies responsible for planning public health policy, civil or criminal action, and even public safety.” (Schindell, 2006)…

    The author of “The Ethics of Grey’s Anatomy”, Mandy Redig, has a valid point. Even though I am a fan of the show, I agree that it should be more accurate to real life, and this is her main point. From personal experience I know people who just because they’ve watched the show think they know what they have to do in case of an medical emergency, and if people think this way, inaccurateness and ignorance can lead to bigger issues. Depicting inaccurate scenes in a hospital could give the wrong idea about how hospitals actually work. I think her evidence is reliable because the drama they use in the show is clearly unrealistic and she went to med school so she has first hand experience. I thought it was funny when she said, “Not to mention what goes on in those call rooms. I’ve slept in them and trust me, sleep is the only thing that crosses anyone’s mind in the middle of the night during a 36-hour call.” I’ve seen the episode in which the chief says “Screw the DNR!” and to be honest I never gave it a second thought, now that I read this I realize how wrong and messed up that was, you can’t just forget someone’s death wish. The author talks about a few specific things about the show, but there are a lot of things that I’ve watched that are inaccurate to real life hospitals, these doctors make mistakes several times and I am sure that if that happened in real life, they would not be still working at the hospital, you can’t just forget and ignore procedures. When medical shows like these depict imprecise medicine practice it makes you wonder if real hospitals do illegal and unethical things on a daily basis, I understand it’s just a drama show, but because it’s such a popular show they shouldn’t take life and death matters so lightly and be more reliable and honest.…

    Upon arriving he described her as distraught and extremely upset. Her original story said that she left her baby with a sitter when she left and returned to her deceased baby; however, when asked what happened in detail she changed her story. This second response said, “I remember making airline reservations for my trip. Then I tried to find a baby sitter, but I couldn’t. I knew that I was leaving Alison alone and that I wouldn’t be coming back for a while, but I had to get to California at all costs. I visited my mother and then left.” The information provided by Policeman A provided valuable information and was certainly credible. The defendant was negligent of the child and clearly stated that she knew she was leaving behind her daughter even though she could not find a sitter, which also showed she knew from right and…
