...HCM 388-3 Legal Aspects of Health Care | Who are the parties? The plaintiff in this case is Barbara Helling. The Defendants are Dr. Thomas F. Carey and Dr. Robert C. Laughlin. Who brought the action? Barbara Helling brought the action. In what court did the case originate? The case originated in a Washington trial court. Who won at the trial-court level? The defendants won at the trial court level. What is the appellate history of the case? After the plaintiff lost the judgment at the trial court level they also lost a trial at the Court of Appeals. After the Court of Appeals decision, the plaintiff took her case to the Supreme Court, where both previous rulings were reversed. What are the relevant facts as recited by the court? The plaintiff is suing the defendants for liability of undiagnosed glaucoma. The court stated evidence indicating that the rate of glaucoma for persons under the age of 40 is about 1 in 25,000. The test for glaucoma is a simple, inexpensive pressure test that is not routinely given to persons under 40 due to the miniscule rate of glaucoma in the age bracket. Because of the low risk and cost of administering these tests along with the massive consequences of undiagnosed glaucoma, the court believes it is their duty to decide what is required to protect patients under 40 from glaucoma. Are there any facts that you would like to know that are not revealed in the opinion? I would like to know what kind of measures the court took in...

...The government should pay for people's education and health care. to waht extent do you agree or disagree? Healthy and well educated citizens are the backbone of a strong society. I strongly agree that governments should take the responsibility of providing free education and health care to people. However, private education and medical service, to some extent, can be provided as a supplementary. First of all, education and medical treatment are largely considered as a basic right, without them a country will face severe social problems. Imaging the chaos that would be ensue if people do not understand how to read, write, and calculate; imaging what will happen if patients can not afford medical fee. Further, education infulence public’s awareness of health care. It is interesting to note that bad habits such as prostitution, substance abuse, alcoholism, smoking etc are often find in those individuals who were inadequately educated. Yet, perhaps the strongest argument in favor of governments providing free education and health care is that of taxes. Remembering, it is the entire nation that paying taxes. Therefore, it is by no means for education and medical care exclude form any other services. Admittedly, public service cannot meet all the demands. E.g. some students wish to attend private schools or some patients want to purchase high level medical service. Then, I think private profit-making companies should be encouraged to private these services to public. On one...

...To What Extent Are Policies and Ideas Between Labour and The Conservatives Similar? Labour and the Conservatives are without a doubt the two biggest parties in our political system however there is not as big of a divide between the two parties as it is visible that they do both share some ideas and policies between them. For example, one area in which the two parties are in agreeance is on the monetary policy which is currently set by the Bank of England and this is the process by which the monetary authority controls the supply of money and they often target inflation or interest rates to ensure that the price and general trust in the pound stays stable. The way that both parties are in agreeance here is that they both agree that as parties they are better off leaving the duty of care over the monetary policy to the Bank of England and both parties agree that it is entire up to the Bank of England to set the monetary policy in the UK meaning that if a looser monetary policy is put in place the two parties will reluctantly accept. That is not the only topic related to money in which the parties are similar as the parties are also in some agreeance on the European Economy with the two parties having some different views on the European Referendum they both do agree that it is best to attempt to resist letting the UK be draw further in to the European Economy and also to eliminate the possibility of joining the Euro for the foreseeable future. So the two parties are in agreeance...

...Professor Hicks English 1301- section 44 13 October 2013 RAE As a guest editor I was asked to review and analyze Raina Kelley’s article “Beauty is Defined, and Not By You”, and either recommend it or not for publishing in The Shorthorn. After considering all rhetorical appeal in Kelley’s writing, I concluded that it would be read at large by the UTA community. Therefore I must recommend the publication in The Shorthorn, due to the fact that the article shows great potential to appeal to the readers, particularly the women in the UTA community. Taking in consideration the integrity of The Shorthorn, as the editor appealing to the readers is a priority; and this article is likely to peak the UTA community’s interest because it emphasizes that beauty is not essential for success. Although Kelley shows an aggressive tone in her writing, this article should be published because she establishes her credibility as a writer by sharing her personal experience, as well as her logical structure when stating facts about beauty products, and once more strengthens her credibility by addressing her counterargument, that although not a priority beauty matters to a certain extent. Kelley’s primary claim is that trying to keep up with the beauty standard should not be as important, whereas education and merit truly define standards. She supports her main claim with three well developed reasons, first one being that as an African-American women she managed to be one of many women that succeed despite...

...101 Sep 28, 2012 Reflect on Noddings’s Care Basically, Nel Noddings poses a disagreement on the liberal education of how schools provided a dangerous model of education with standardization on fulfill the text materials on achieving its academic levels. Apart from academic standards in school curricula, she strongly encourage that education should be mainly focus on “growth of competent, caring, loving, and lovable people”, in her words, which are more suitable for today’s schools in 21 century. It was very impressive that at the first part of the article, Nel Noddings raise a question of “What do children need for education”, follow on the national answer of children need more on the “academic training” which will benefits for both satisfying countries’ needs and safe them from “poverty, crime, and other evils of current society”. Ironically, this is my third college year and I forgot most of what I have learned from my mathematics and sciences teachers, of course, I have no contribution to the society, and my country doesn’t has a strong need on me. Moreover, I am not in that kind of poverty which needs someone to save me from an impoverished situation, I did no crime, and not that evil to the society except sometimes I do not pay quarters for parking. With Nel Noddings idea, she against an ideology of “control that forces all students to study a particular, narrowly prescribed curriculum devoid of content they might really care about”. Her words go deeply into my heart...

...couldn't hear her as the dog was barking. He tried to pet the dog and then tried to move out of the dog's range when the dog bit his hand. Prior to this incident, the dog had never attacked, bitten, or lunged at strangers, and there was no evidence of complaints from neighbours or friends. Lewis brought an action for damages, but his action was dismissed. For Discussion 1. Why did Lewis bring an action against the defendants .

The defendants would argue that Lewis was a stranger on their property, that he was asked to identify himself and didn't, and that Salach...

... Issue Analysis 1. What are some of the strengths associated with the Pro side of the issue? What are some of the weaknesses? Pro “Opting Out” The YES side (Pro side) of the subject matter convinces women to resolve to “opt-out” because of bringing up child and family obligations. The most noteworthy strength of the YES side (Pro side) is that it will be advantageous to the children who would otherwise be using up a lot of their time in child care centers or with a babysitter. In relation to Debate Pedia (2010) “As early childhood is the most formative period of development for a child it is important that a mother has as much time to devote to her children as possible.” In the early years of childhood is critical in the enhancement of a child, whichever the reason women prefer to take a principal role all through this essential phase of the child’s life. Additionally to be at hand through the first part of childhood development, women who opt out take xcare a positive outlook for humankind by supporting in optimum development of the child in order that the child obtain the best potential favorable circumstances in the distant future. (college, career etc.). At hand are weaknesses related with “opting out”. Women may happen to be indignant against their husbands or children for the reason that they gave up their professional ambition to take care of the family.

This video is downloaded on my computer along with other short patriotic emotion evoking videos that I have stumbled across over the years. Regardless of the political views and the affiliations that Jeff Daniels or the other members and producers of The Newsroom have this video brings up very enlightening points regarding the path that the United States has taken since its creation in 1776. I am part of the same generation that the college girl speaking in the video is associated with, and I agree to some extent with the remarks made in the video “None of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student, but you, nonetheless, are without a doubt, a member of the WORST-period-GENERATION-period-EVER-period.” This is a strong statement to agree with but I do. Over the recent thanksgiving break I we fortunate to hear stories from my father about growing up as well as from several elder members in the community. It made me consider what the past generations have contributed to this country and each generations “mindset”.

These individuals sacrificed food, aluminum, rubber, and other things so that they could be used in the war effort. You had the Baby Boomers who lived...
