We should conceptualize the relationship between a doctor and patient strictly as a partnership, that is, where health care professionals and their patients are partners in the pursued shared value of health. This model of a relationship is the best suited because it makes the values of the doctor just as important as the values of the patient and they come to an agreement of the best possible path to take. The most important component of this model is its attention to the patient. The physician helps the patient realize their own ends. As a participant of this model, the patient and physician have to have approximately equal power, the both have the mutual need for each other, and they both have to engage in activity that will in some ways be beneficial and satisfying for both.
One of the other models is the paternal model in which moral authority and discretion is assigned to the physician because of their competence, skill, and ability to keep the patient in good health. This model is seemingly corrupt because the autonomy of the patient is overlooked when the physician is in control. In a case where they physician and patient disagree about the meaning or a value that they each have, the patients values and understanding will not be taken into consideration. Paternalism is understood as a normative model, which tries to determine what is morally right and wrong with regard to human action. Though in some cases paternalistic action is needed sometimes especially in cases where the patient is not in a position to make their own decisions, i.e. their competence is ineffective, all paternalistic actions are not justifiable.
Another model is the rational contractor model in which the relationship between physician and patient is based on the obligations of the doctor to perform in the best interest of the patient but where they have differing goals. Both

Writeing Errors Job Aplacation

...“Writing errors, such as those identified in the readings for this week, may influence the way a reader interprets your writing.  A résumé that is marred by grammatical errors, for example, may prevent a job candidate from progressing to the interview stage. Do you think it is appropriate for people to be judged based on their writing? Explain your answer.” In the case of a resume that is marred by grammatical errors, to a point it is appropriate to judge the individual as it can be considered an indication of his or her professionalism. However; if the resume is for a position that does not require any ability to communicate through writing it should considered only as it relates to the position. I believe this is not the way that most potential employers feel as I have written before that I believe that any resume that is written with grammatical errors will at the very least end up at the bottom of the pile. This is because most employers believe a resume that is marred by grammatical errors is not on an indication of unprofessional grammar; it is also an indication of the individual’s ability to communicate. Some may even believe it is an indication of the individual’s intelligence level. I have written before that I believe most individuals believe that if one has gremial errors in there writing , so too will there be errors in there speech. For example if one were to write “I am submitting my resume”. The reader may believe the individual that wrote the passage would...

A Room of One's Own

...A ROOM OF ONES OWN [* This essay is based upon two papers read to the Arts Society at Newnharn and the Odtaa at Girton in October 1928. The papers were too long to be read in full, and have since been altered and expanded.] ONE But, you may say, we asked you to speak about women and fiction--what, has that got to do with a room of one's own? I will try to explain. When you asked me to speak about women and fiction I sat down on the banks of a river and began to wonder what the words meant. They might mean simply a few remarks about Fanny Burney; a few more about Jane Austen; a tribute to the Brontës and a sketch of Haworth Parsonage under snow; some witticisms if possible about Miss Mitford; a respectful allusion to George Eliot; a reference to Mrs Gaskell and one would have done. But at second sight the words seemed not so simple. The title women and fiction might mean, and you may have meant it to mean, women and what they are like, or it might mean women and the fiction that they write; or it might mean women and the fiction that is written about them, or it might mean that somehow all three are inextricably mixed together and you want me to consider them in that light. But when I began to consider the subject in this last way, which seemed the most interesting, I soon saw that it had one fatal drawback. I should never be able to come to a conclusion. I should never be able to fulfil what is, I understand, the first duty of a lecturer to hand you after an hour's discourse a...
