Introduction

The House of God is a hilarious novel with information on everything doctors do not want patients to know. The author based the story on his experience at the Beth Israel Hospital. The novel caused a scandal when it first appeared. The work glamorized traits of dehumanizing and unprofessional attitudes towards ailing patients, which are a set of very unethical issues. Such include a sadistic and dark humor such as how to “turf” patients to other specialties. Another idea is that GOMERs go round.
The text promotes a detachment from the patient, which causes them to act in ways that may prove unsafe ...

Compared to other developed countries, it also spends the most on health (Barr, 2011). However, despite the high health allocation, the US has “the most costly system by far, with forty-eight million people uninsured, high infant mortality rates, decreasing access to care, quality of care issues, long waits in emergency rooms, [and] insurance premiums escalating faster than the cost of living” (Weinberg, 2007, p.3).

What Makes Nurses so Important

Nurses are a vital component of the health care system. Whether considering the past, present, or future, the positive effect that nurses have on the physical and emotional health of patients is indisputable. In fact, statistics show that the more patients one nurse must care for, the higher the mortality rate in those patients.

Looking back at history, during the Civil War, nurses provided much of the care for the wounded soldiers. The number of soldiers wounded during the Civil War was overwhelming. Nurses were vital to the care of soldiers by taking care of ...

In the 2010 film Shutter Island, Leonardo DiCaprio plays Det. Teddy Daniels, a US Marshal investigating a disappearance at an isolated psychiatric facility. However, the truth of the investigation turns out to be far more complicated than he could have imagined; Daniels is, in fact, a man named Andrew Laeddis, who murdered his wife after she killed their children in an act of mania. The grief from this caused him to separate himself from that identity and become Teddy Daniels, a completely different person.

Teddy, as a character, is intelligent and high-functioning; he behaves well socially and emotionally among his peers and with his ...

Background

The hospital has the potential to be a dangerous place for health care practitioners. Among healthcare workers, nurses, interns, technicians, residents, and housekeeping staff face the greatest risks of exposure to various injuries (Shriyan, Roche, Annamma, 2012). Back injuries, allergies, radiation exposure, violence, and stress are but some of the potential injuries that healthcare workers face.
Chief amongst the potential injuries that nurses face are needlestick injuries. Needle stick injuries commonly occur during subcutaneous injections, during the drawing of blood samples, during intravenous cannulation, and as a result of repeatedly replacing a cap onto an already used needle (Goniewicz, 2012). Needlestick ...

Introduction

As myriad of changes continue being experienced in the health sector, several challenges prevent effective implementation of healthcare services. These challenges include limitation in healthcare services, inefficient skills, unskilled personnel, poverty and huge gap between the number of skilled healthcare providers and number of patients seeking services. These problems further intensify in rural areas whereby the distance between patients and healthcare facilities prevent timely access to healthcare. This explains why several federal policies target problems facing the rural poor. Studies further show that more than 15 percent of healthcare beneficiaries reside in rural areas (Thrall, 2012). These patients depend ...
