“60% of people live 10 years after a heart transplant” (www.heartfoundation.org). The process of a heart transplant is crucial because several patients are consulted to see who needs the heart most. The patients provided, which are five of them, each gave a brief biographical and psychological reports. Examining each one carefully, is important, yet difficult to come to a conclusion.Furthermore, each patient demonstrates high hopes in their family of in community. However no medical records have been provided to see if any patient has another organ problem, nor do all the patients have school records.
Without regard to the patient David, he has potential to receive the heart transplant. The reports of the other patients are unclear
Alfred is 45 years old, and working on a project for cancer immunizations; but Alfred is not working alone on the project. Some other research physicist can carry on the project due to Alfred’s mental stability. Overmore in detail, Alfred revealed he needs “psychiatric help”, due to complaints of co-workers. Bill can not be a candidate due to his high school records, which told about his delinquency in high school. Bill is not active in the community, like the other four patients.His psychological records say he discourages his wife and wants her to be a full-time mom. He should not do that because his business may not succeed due his school records. Cora’s psychological records states that it is unclear about her interior design career; whether she just said it to be accepted as a candidate for the transplant, due to the requirements. Not only that, she doesn’t do most of the childcare, because she lets her mother do all the childcare, while she’s busy with her religion organizations. This is a sign of neglect to the young children of ages 10 and under. Lastly, Edna is active in her charities, however her work ethic is clear to show aggressiveness according to the information provided. Edna only has a few close friends, because people distance themselves from her. The reasons selected helped determine why all four patients do not get the transplant. All four have experienced life after college or
He has already announced his engagement and plans to marry in this summer. Again, David is !9 years old, and comparison to Alfred, Bill, Cora, Edna, who are near 30 and above, already had the opportunity to marry. Whereas David has not. His future father-in-law holds high of him to carry the family business. His father wants him to be a lawyer, which confuses David. Although whatever David decides to do as his career, it will still be successful. David’s younger sisters, ages 15 and 11, think highly of him especially all his hard work he has demonstrates. It would be sad if he never got the chance to finish college, marry, or even decide what he wants to do after college.Whereas the other patients had the chance in his or hers young
- Mrs. Dawson wants the healthcare team to do everything they possibly can to save her husband and live at home with him. The health care providers are divided; some of the members believe that he will recover and some believe additional treatment is prolonging the inevitable and perhaps causing Mr. Dawson more suffering.
...mily and his parents’ well being, emotionally. David exemplifies this and stands by his family when they are in need. He does not desert them or feel shameful. He stays loyal and true to those he cares for and loves. Thus, he has shown his ability to act as an adult would.
Maturity changes the way people think act and behave towards other people, David the main character displays this clearly as his view on his Father and Uncle Frank develop and change. At the beginning when we are first introduce to all the characters , we see that David admires Uncle Franks as being a hero and just a all round qualities. But this is all changes when David later on discovers that Uncle Frank molesters and take advantage of Indian woman with his power as a doctor. “After what just happened with Marie I don’t want to be left alone with Uncle Frank”. Davis father is a sheriff, a very unique one as he does not wear a badge or carry any gun. David’s attitude towards his father also changes, David did not believe his father played the role of sheriff as he should have but this all changes when the incident with Uncle Frank and Maire is taken place. As Wesley doses t...
David was known to dangerous jobs because of his strength. On one particular occasion he was fixing a barn, and he happened to fall from a great height and at first was proclaimed unhurt.3 For several days, he had a headache which progressively got worse and those several days turned into weeks. Soon he was diagnosed with a fever by a doctor and the only way to cure him was if blood was drawn. This affected Clara greatly because from a young age she had formed a very strong and unbreakable bond with her brother.3 This bond enabled her to remain by her brothers side day and night, and she “learned to take all directions for his medicines from his physician (who had eminent counsel) and to administer them like a genuine nurse.”3 She took care of him for two years until he was sent to a doctor for treatment. During this particular incident, was when she willingly let go of her own needs to meet her brothers needs.3 Caring for her brother gave Clara a purpose and after he was healed “instead of feeling that my freedom gave me time for recreation or play, it seemed to me like time wasted, and I looked anxiously about for some useful occupation”3 this what helped her come to the conclusion that helping others helped her get rid of the shy and timid nature that had held her back for so long. Her shy and timid nature was caused by a speech impediment she had known as a lisp. Her lisp caused her to feel self-conscious and insecure disabling her from talking to people but with the help of her family Clara was able to overcome it. In an attempt to help Clara overcome her fear, her parents sent her to a boarding school, believing that Clara would lose her timid characteristic if thrown amidst strangers.3 After Clara was sent home for not eating was when she realized the importance of overcoming her timid nature as
In David journey has is forced to see life in a more truthful and more painful way. He learns many lessons, but none more disturbing than that which follows Frank’s suicide. “You see, I knew - I knew! - I knew! That Uncle Frank’s suicide had solved all of our problems … I felt something for my uncle in death that I hadn’t felt for him in life. It was gratitude, yes, but it was something more. It was very close to love”.
At first, David cares that his mother treats him badly. After awhile, he doesn’t care and becomes apathetic.
The term “medical transplant” is referred to the process of organ donation. In current modern trends, the world is moving towards the fifth generation. The new innovative medical techniques have enabled the people to reform from severe diseases. The phenomenon of organ donation and transplant is based on two primary persons. It involves surgical process to remove a body organ and tissue form from donor and fitting it into the body of recipient. In addition, the transplant that is performed within same body is called auto graft. Medical transplant that is performed in between to different bodies of same species is called allografts (Hewitt, 2008). The main reason of medical transplantation and organ donation is any injury and disease which prohibit the organ to work in proper condition.
David growing up as a child lived in a house where there was no love shown or caring relationships. He grew up not knowing what good relationships looked like or felt like. David did not think too highly of his dad or aunt and always had

Progress is seen on the front of Claudia and Carolyn’s relationship. David attempts to reorganizes his relationship with Claudia in an effort to remove the pressure placed on her. However, the battle between Carolyn and Claudia continues to ebb and rise as the family narrows in on the dynamics of David and Carolyn’s relationship. Napier states to Claudia that, “...the family unconsciously agreed to go back to your and Carolyn’s war to rescue your mom and dad from the hot seat” (p. 137). When the family finally breaks free from this structure the exploration of David and Carolyn’s own relationship becomes the most critical aspect in therapy.
Applying this ethical theory, the 5-year-old patient has many more years of life ahead of him/her and that organ transplantation will result in a healthy, vibrant, productive individual. Whereas, with the 75-year-old patient, they may remain in fragile health despite a successful transplantation, and they are approaching life expectancy. Therefore, the most good will come from choosing organ transplantation for the 5-year-old
One single organ donor can save the lives of eight people and that same donor can help to improve health conditions of fifty other people as said by an article on facts about donation. Organ donation is when a living or deceased person's organs are taken out by medical physicians and surgically inserted into another person's body to help improve their health condition. The receiver and donor of the organ are not the only people affected by the transplant. Families of the donor will often become relieved knowing that their loved one will be continuing to help needy people even after they are gone and the families of the receiver will also sleep better knowing that there is still a chance that someone could help the medical status of their loved one. Organ transplant has also overcome many scientific challenges. Jekyll’s actions in Dr.
Organ donation is the process of removing an organ or tissue from organ donor and placing it into the recipient (Cleveland Clinic, 2015). This is important because donation of organs to the person whose organ has failed or has been damaged by disease or injury can get their life back after transplantation. But in todays ' world the number of recipient is more than the number of donor. The organ and tissues which can be transplanted in modern medicine are liver, kidney, pancreas, heart, lungs, intestine, cornea, middle ear, skin, bone marrow, heart valves, and connective tissues (Cleveland Clinic, 2015). There are different policies and reforms for organ transplantation and donation. There are four main types of rules governing the organ transplantation
Throughout the last two centuries many scientific advances have been made in terms of organ transplants. Today transplants of organs such as kidneys, livers, hearts, pancreata, intestine, and lungs are considered routine medical treatment and are performed daily. In 1954 the first successful transplant, a kidney transplant, was performed by Doctor Joseph E. Murray in Boston, Massachusetts. This was a breakthrough in science and was just the beginning of a series of saved lives and extended opportunities. The number of first time transplants continued throughout the years, as did the success rate of transplants overall, especially in the 1980’s and 90’s. The research recently has slowed down now that the procedure of a transplant is so routine but continues still to be bettered by scientists and their technology and will be at alm...
The world’s medical history was dramatically changed by the first doctor to do a heart transplant: Christiaan Barnard. Dedicated to tubercular meningitis, his interests were shown through his own doctoral thesis in the year of 1953 (“Christiaan Barnard Biography”). Barnard raised the bar in medical history by conducting ideas and bringing achievements. His forthright expertises have made him one among the most significant and influential people in medical.
