    M4 Ethics Midterm Assignment: Terri Schiavo's Case

    The first time the case went to court was to resolve the dispute over her neurologic devastation and how her parents and her husband were interpreting her wishes regarding life support. The courts ruled in her husband’s favor, that Terri would not want continued life support and the decision was made to withdraw life sustaining treatment. Her parents appealed the decision to remove treatment and won, because their physicians stated that Terri was not in a permanent vegetative state.

    Briefly, the summary judgment facts of St. John v. Pope (1995) noted that Pope, who had recently undergone back pain surgery and epidural injections at Round Rock Hospital, went to the Central Texas Medical Center emergency room in San Marcos for back pain and fever.

However, when Round Rock Hospital’s emergency room refused to accept Pope, he went home.

    Summary Of The Long Goodbye: The Deaths Of Nancy Cruzan

    It troubled him that the Judge Teel described Nancy’s condition as “unresponsive and hopeless” with “no cognitive purpose for her except sound and perhaps pain.” If Nancy feels pain then she is not in a persistent vegetative state (PVS). We did not know what was going on behind the scenes, but later it would all come to light. Our case bypassed the appellate court of Missouri and headed straight to the Missouri Supreme Court, with a little assistance. Our case was scheduled for review in September, along with a case that has opposite opinions as ours. In other words, the parents of a young man named Phillip Radar, that was diagnosed as being brain dead, did not want to let their child go, but the hospital caring for him did. Phillip’s heart was beating even though he was brain dead. Both of the cases were scheduled to be heard on the same morning in September, but on August 31st Phillip’s heart stopped and the effort to revive him was unsuccessful. His death left our case as the only one to be…

    Landmark case law

    On the night of January 11, 1983, Nancy Cruzan lost control of her vehicle while traveling down Elm Road in Jasper County, Missouri. Cruzan’s vehicle had overturned, ejecting her from it, and Cruzan was discovered lying face down in a ditch. At the time of discovery, she was found to have no pulse or respirations. However, paramedics were able to restore her breathing and heartbeat at the accident site. She was then transported to the hospital in an unconscious state. The attending Neurologist diagnosed Cruzan of sustaining probable cerebral contusions stating that her upper brain, or the cerebral hemispheres, were too damaged to function. The part of the brain that controls thinking and feeling, the ability to move purposefully, compounded by a significant lack of oxygen, estimating that she was deprived of oxygen from between 12 to 14 minutes. After 3 weeks in a coma she progressed into an unconscious state, but in order to provide nutrition and fluids, with the written permission of her then husband, surgeons implanted a gastrostomy feeding and hydration tube. All other rehabilitative services were unsuccessful, Cruzan was in a vegetative state and the decision to move her to a Missouri State hospital was made with Missouri covering the cost of her care after her insurance run out. Nancy’s husband had their marriage dissolved by a court, and her…

    Informed Consent Case Study: The Brewster Vs. University Hospital

    The Brewster v. University Hospital is a case that deals with informed consent, in this case the plaintiff seemed to be wronged in the sense that their child was not given the best opportunity for a full recovery. The defendant, however, believes no wrong has been done since the professionals are certain that the diagnosis was best for the patient. The argument develops in the sense that the parents of the patient were not informed of all the different diagnosis, and how this illness could affect their child’s brain development. The patient suffered from hyperbilirubinemia, or jaundice, which seems to be of a normal occurrence for many infants, but it must be controlled because high levels of bilirubin causes great damage to the brain. This was part of the information the Brewster’s were not informed of, along with the fact that there is a much more aggressive form of diagnosis for this illness, which is blood…

    For the Roosevelt Dawson case, Dawson a young man who suffered from a viral infection that affected his spine, caused inability to move his limbs and breathing.

Based on past cases in this hospital, the hospital board has granted patient's (or whoever was put as the guardian) assistance for breathing and or nourishment. Looking at the patient's competency does not apply to this case, at least in my opinion.…

    "Persistent vegetative state is a specific clinical diagnosis for a patient who is permanently unconscious. All thought, all memory, all ability to interact with the world around them in any way is gone" (LLP). William H.

    The Feeding Tube

    At first June agreed to the feeding tube but then she became even more ill and didn’t want the tube. The patient bill of rights applies because June has the right to know what treatment options are available to her and what the outcome of all of them will be. The patient has the right to decide his or her own medical care. She also has the right to know about all side effects. June needs to be told what her chances are of living if she does not take the feeding tube like she planned before she became even sicker. June has the right to have her health information kept confidential while only given certain people the right to know her information.
