...This was case of Mary Mallon. To her, quarantine meant a life of isolation and imprisonment for a disease that she was asymptomatic for. As a "healthy carrier", Mary was considered by the health officials in Manhattan to be too dangerous to be allowed to continue having exposure to society even though she was only infectious when she was cooking. She was presented to the public as a dirty immigrant from Ireland that was heavy in stature, ugly in appearance, and someone who carried and spread the disease to those who were considered to be "American" (Walzer, Typhoid Mary: Captive to the Public's Health, 13). She was deemed unmanageable due to the temper shown as she was accused of being infected with a disease that one only got if they were...

...Facts: The RFH Company’s controller Mary Sims had questions about what needs to be done on certain items such as the $1,500,000 depreciation timing differences and the bad debt reserve increase from the prior year of $250,000. Ms. Sims also wants to know what to do with the accrued liabilities of $300,000 and a lawsuit of $450,000 which can be paid $500,000 over 3 years. Mary Sims wants to know how to classify these tax differences at the end of the year and I will advise her on some FASB standards that Ms. Sims should follow. Issues 1) $1,500,000 as a result of depreciation timing (Straight Line- MACRS method) 2) What to do with the bad debt increase of $250,000 3) What FASB codification should Ms. Sims look at? Conclusions 1) Depreciation is on taxes and will not impact the total depreciation of the tax expense of deprecation timing. Depreciation is an expense on the income statement with no cash value and can be tax deductible at the end of the year. The methods of depreciation for the end of year for tax purposes really have no purpose except for timing. MACRS will have larger depreciation values at the early years and slide off compared to just straight line where it is constant throughout the whole time....

Thirdly, there must be loss or damage to the plaintiff and finally, there must be a causal link between the breach of duty of care and the loss or damage suffered. Duty of Care Duty of care refers to the relationship which the law recognises as giving rise to a legal duty to take care. A duty of care is a responsibility to take such care and breach of this can lead to the defendant being liable to pay damages to a party who has suffered losses or injury as a result of their breach of care. Therefore it is important for the claimant to establish that the defendant owed them a duty of care. In this case study Donoghue v Stevenson (1932), the duty of reasonable care was established. Mrs Donoghue went to a cafe with a friend. The friend brought her a bottle of ginger beer and an ice cream. The ginger beer came in an opaque bottle so that the contents could not be seen.

Mrs H was moved to an intermediate care centre for treatment after a fall at home, after her treatment she was then admitted to the Elderly Care Assessment Unit of Birmingham Heartlands confused of what was going on around her, Mrs H wasn’t aware where she was getting transferred to or what care procedures has been put in place for her. Whenever Mrs H was in the hospital she had many falls and during one of the falls she broke her collar bone, her niece holds power of attorney for her and is also her only relative and because of this her niece should have been informed of Mrs H’s fall and her injuries that she sustained during this, but her niece received no information of any of the falls never mind her breaking her collar bone. This could make Mrs H less confident in the people around her such as doctors and nurses, she may lose trust towards them and not want to ask them to lift her in case she was to fall again, so in result of this this could lead Mrs H to urinating herself by not making it to the toilet. As Mrs H was given no choice in her personal care this would make her feel disempowered because before her fall at home she was a very independent woman whose appearance was important to her, this could result in Mrs H isolating herself. Mrs H was in no way treated and valued as an individual, during Mrs H journey home she was...
