Observation Of Hardman's Struggle
On Sunday 08/27/17 at 1319 hours I was dispatched to an obvious death at 2304 A ST SE trailer #90 in the City of Auburn, King Co, WA. Dispatch advised the reporting person, Heidi Hardman, stated her 88 year old father, Edward Hardman, was obviously deceased, and she was no giving him CPR because he had standing "do not resuscitate" (DNR) order. Dispatch added that Heidi stated the last time Edward was seen awake was 2300 hours the night prior.

I met with Heidi at the above address with Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA). VRFA checked Edward, and stated he was obviously deceased.

After they married in the summer of 1990, the couple, including her young daughter Angela, moved into her home in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. By all outward appearances they seemed to be the picture perfect family. Robert received a promotion at his job as a foreman for the chemistry laboratory he worked for. As a family it appeared they had a bright future ahead. Everyone was happy and in love, or were they? Soon after, Robert fell ill for the first time in August 1991 and in less than two months he rapidly deteriorated until his death on September 27, 1991. Robert’s sudden death was a shock to everyone including medical staff. At first doctors could not figure out what had caused Robert to become so severely ill. Was this an accidental work related illness, something genetic, or the deliberate acts of something more sinister?…

    Ed Gein Research Paper

    Ed Gein was born 1906, in Plainview, Wisconsin. His father was a violent alcoholic, and his mother an obsessive Lutheran. His mother kept Ed, and his brother Henry, from any outside influence. Allowing them only to go to school, and return home. His mother often told them bible stories, and preached about how evil alcohol and women were. Ed Gein’s first murder could have been his brother, Henry, because he started to resent their mother. Henry didn’t share his mother’s opinion of the world, and even became worried about how close Ed and their mother had become. In 1944 during a wildfire on the property, Ed ran to the police stating that he had lost his brother in the fire. After alerting the authorities, Ed led them directly to where the body was. Henry was lying on the ground with blunt trauma to the side of his head, his clothes were also unburned. Police dismissed this evidence, and coroner said he died of asphyxiation. Gein was never formally charged with his brother’s murder.…

    Red Badge of Courage Dialectical Journal

    "Near the threshold he stopped, horror-stricken at the sight of a thing. He was being looked at by a dead man who was seated with his back against a columnlike tree. The corpse was dressed in a uniform that had once been blue, but was now faded to a melancholy shade of green. The eyes, staring at the youth, had changed to the dull hue to be seen on the side of a dead fish. The mouth was open. Its red had changed to an appalling yellow. Over the gray skin of the face ran little ants. One was trundling some sort of bundle along the upper lip.”…

    Dnr Pros And Cons

    A Do Not Resuscitate, or DNR order is a written order from a doctor that resuscitation should not be attempted if a person suffers cardiac or respiratory arrest. Such an order may be instituted on the basis of an advance directive from a person, or from someone entitled to make decisions on their behalf, such as a health care proxy; in some jurisdictions, such orders can also be instituted on the basis of a physician’s own initiative, usually when resuscitation would not alter the ultimate outcome of a disease, and is designed to prevent unnecessary suffering.…

    Compare And Contrast Uniform Declaration Of Death Vs Medical Death

    New technological advances allow for patients to stay alive in situations that they normally could not survive. This causes an increasingly problematic conflict between medical and legal systems. The Uniform Declaration of Death Act allows for a somewhat reliable definition for death in both systems. However, some situations still challenge the universally accepted definition of death. Lia’s situation is a perfect example of how a medical definition of death conflicts with legal conditions. Lia’s complex medical situation showcases how death challenges both the medical and legal systems in America, making it very difficult to offer a concrete definition.…

    Dr. Kevorkian

    Dr. Jack Kevorkian, this is a very controversial debate, is it right to kill someone who is already going to die; or they suffer out their last days as nature takes its course? I personally do not think it’s a crime to take someone’s life who wants to die due to medical conditions. Some people say he should have never been released from prison, others differ. Should euthanasia and the right to die be made legal? This is a debate that will go on for centuries as Dr. Jack Kevorkian launches euthanasia for humans in the 1990’s.…

    Do Not Resuscitate

    . “Previously physicians were only able to allow patients to die, now they could resuscitate them with relatively simple protocols and procedures” (Bishop, J., Brothers, K., Perry, J., & Ahmad, A. 2010). The history of the DNR started with CPR. CPR was first introduced in the 1960’s to save many people lives. CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary resuscitation; it is a lifesaving technique that is used when someone stops breathing. This technique involves chest compressions, mouth to mouth blow or electric shock. Every time someone would stop breathing the medical team would be call to perform CPR. That’s when the DNR came into play. In the 1980’s the DNR was introduced. This gave people the choice to not have CPR if they wished to not be saved. “The do-not-resuscitate order was beginning to be perceived as part of the patient’s right to claim back self-determination in the face of paternalistic doctors on an implicit quest for technologically mediated immortality” (Bishop, J., Brothers, K.,…
