 Law of Medical Practices Cases

Respond to the following questions in -depth using paragraph form. Paragraphs must be at least 5-7 sentences.

1. Dr. Webber joined the Gelder Medical Group, which was a medical partnership. Part of the agreement was that if for any reason his association with the group ended, he would not practice medicine for five years within 30 miles of the Village of Sidney, where the partnership was located. The agreement also provided that any member could be required to withdraw from the partnership upon a majority vote of the other members. Dr. Webber’s work with the group turned out to be unsatisfactory to his partners, who felt he was an embarrassment to the group. Dr. Webber refused to withdraw from the association after he was terminated by the other physicians. Two months later, despite his earlier agreement, Dr. Webber opened a medical office in Sidney. The partnership brought suit to prevent him from carrying on his practice. Could they do this successfully?

2. Plaintiff Raymond Vadnais alleged that, in 1986, he visited [a physician] at Beth Israel Hospital’s ear, nose, and throat clinic complaining of ear pain. After antibiotics failed to relieve the pain, [the physician] recommended surgery. However, after [the physician] learned that the plaintiff was infected with HIV, he refused to perform the operation. Should the physician be required to perform the operation?

3. Can federal agencies make their own rules and prosecute those who violate the rules?

4. A patient who has not paid a bill has come to the emergency room for medical treatment. While there, a medical assistant notices a large amount of money in her purse. The medical assistant tells the security guard. The guard stands at the patient’s room and refuses to let her leave until she pays some money toward her bill. Can the patient file charges against the hospital? If so, what will the proper complaint read?

Reflection #1: Research Ethics, Nurse Rivers, and the Tuskegee Syphilis StudyReflection Prompt: Reflect on how your attitudes, beliefs, and values influence your thoughts and feelings about the research ethics associated with the role Nurse Rivers played in the Tuskegee Syphilis study.

Initial Post #1: Putting yourself in Nurse Rivers’ shoes in that time (1932) and place (Macon County, Alabama), what factors might convince you to continue with the study once you became aware that a treatment was available but the men would never receive this treatment? What role, if any, do you think being African-American played in Nurse Rivers’ decision to continue with the study? In the video, we learned that Nurse Rivers received numerous government, state, and local awards for her outstanding contributions to the nursing profession. Do you believe that continuing her role in the study and earning these awards are mutually exclusive? In other words, do you believe it is possible to violatethe trust of the men in the study and still earnthe awards?

Cancer Case Studies

A 21-year-old male noted pain in his right testicle while studying hard for his midterm college examinations. On self-examination, he noted a “grape sized” mass in the right testicle. This finding was corroborated by his healthcare provider. This young man had a history of delayed descent of his right testicle until the age of 1 year old.

Studies

Routine laboratory studies

Ultrasound the testicle

HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) CT scan of the abdomen

CT scan of the chest

Diagnostic Analysis

Results

Within normal limits (WNL)

Solid mass, right testicle associated with calcifications 550mIU/mL (normal: <5)

Enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes

Multiple pulmonary nodules

At semester break, this young man underwent right orchiectomy. Pathology was compatible with embryonal cell carcinoma. CT directed biopsy of the most prominent pulmonary nodule indicated embryonal cell carcinoma, compatible with metastatic testicular carcinoma. During a leave of absence from college, and after banking his sperm, this young man underwent aggressive chemotherapy. Repeat testing 12 weeks after chemotherapy showed complete resolution of the pulmonary nodules and enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes.

Critical Thinking Questions

1. What impact did an undescended testicle have on this young man’s risk for developing testicular cancer?

2. What might be the side effects of cytotoxic chemotherapy?

3. What was the purpose of preserving his sperm before chemotherapy?

4. Is this young man’s age typical for the development of testicular carcinoma?

Website Critique of California Health Insurance Exchange

/in /by

Website Critique of California Health Insurance Exchange

Federal and state governments have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to create a website through which consumers can purchase health care insurance in the open market. The federal government operates healthcare.gov. Some states have opted not to utilize the federal government’s exchange and approach it on their own. This has proved to be a very costly and disastrous undertaking for some states, such as Maryland, whose situation was described in this week’s introduction.

Oregon also discovered that running its own exchange can be a risky and expensive business. “Although the state has spent an estimated $248 million to get the operation up and running, it never enrolled a single private insurance customer online” (La Ganga, 2014). Oregon claims that it was not a failure of policy; the problems were in the building of the website, making the program virtually inaccessible.

With all the money spent to create these health care exchanges, the question remains: do they really work? In your Discussion this week, you will explore this question.

To Prepare for This Discussion

Browse the California Health Insurance Exchange website, Covered California, in this week’s Learning Resources.

Consider that states are supposed to make these websites user-friendly and appropriate for a person who reads at the eighth-grade level (the typical U.S. public health standard). Reflect on your own experiences in accessing the state exchanges. It may also be helpful to get some additional feedback from friends or family members (not in the health care business) to ascertain their impressions of the websites you are evaluating. Consider the following:

  • The average American’s health care literacy; in other words, can they comprehend what they are reading on these sites to make an informed choice?
  • What are your impressions? Is the site user-friendly? Is it easily accessible?
  • What about support for people with disabilities?

As you evaluate California Health Insurance Exchange website, be sure to look at the “2015 Covered California Shop and Compare Tool” section of the site at: https://www.coveredca.com/shopandcompare/

Explain whether you believe the California Health Insurance Exchange website is user-friendly and appropriate for the public health standard and why. Explain whether you think this website could be improved to help users select the best insurance options for them, and how
