I’m writing a letter of concern for Mr. Todd Lee XXX-XX-1750 and for his health. I have personally been helping Mr. Lee for a year now and his health has gotten worse. I personally go to his camper on the land he lives weekly and make sure his is ok and that help him in things he isn’t able to do around the Camper that his uncle allows him to stay at. His living conditions are subpar due to the fact the camper is becoming unlivable. I have had many talks with Mr. Lee and I’m watching him loose weight even with my family helping feeding him and that he is on food stamps. My first concern is Mr. Lee’s health, he use to work at Nyrstar plant and he was working around Lead so2 Cadmium Mercury and acid. While working at the plant he was removed twice due to high levels of lead in his blood the 4 years he …show more content…
Lee’s has been denied Tenncare and SSI, which he is needing to be seen by a doctor to get blood work on so he can find out what is killing him inside slowly. His history starting out when he was a 6 years old and his father passed died in a plane wreck, forcing him to not finish school and help around the house and find odd jobs to make sure that his mother was taken care of so they wouldn’t be homeless. Once she passed he married and had children, after 26 years of marriage his wife left him because he wasn’t able to work due to his illness that he has. If he was to be able to get Tenncare he would be accepted for SSI so that he could get his health diagnosis. Mr. Lee has problems walking distance of more than 100ft at once. He also has a lot of anxiety over being around people due to his past history. He has been seen by a non-reporting counselor that diagnosis him with manic depression, and PTSD. He has sold just about everything he has to be able to live another day. With winter coming soon I feel that he will not make it through it in the living conditions he lives in without medical attention and SSI to help him gather stuff the food stamps can’t
He did not know where to go and had no income. He was determined to never see another social worker in his life. Clients have the right to self-determination no matter what decision they make, but seeing this young man with no idea on what to do was alarming. I had to convince him how important it is to have a strategy when living on your own. I informed my client about Assembly Bill 12 and the benefits it would give him to attend college.

... between 11 to 24 repeats of the CAG allele; many people may argue that hiring Wu is an extremely risky decision since Wu has 72 repeats of the CAG allele when any amount above 42 appears to be correlated with an earlier manifestation of symptoms. However, nothing is certain and hiring or not hiring Wu is enough of a risk for the IPC already. The best path to take is to hire Wu with a contract that terminates Wu’s employment as soon as he begins to show symptoms and have an understudy ready to replace Wu after his leave. If the IPC decides not to hire Nathaniel Wu, they must solely base the decision from the qualifications of both candidates, otherwise the decision will have violated bioethics. Regardless of the decision the IPC makes, the company will inevitably face financial struggles; it is a matter of acting upon the stalemate that it has trapped itself within.

This is to notify Fidelis Care that our patient Maxine Winder, since we started servicing her she has been giving us issues. The aide that started the case told us that the patient doesn’t like to bathe because she doesn’t like water touching her skin. The patient also needs to be cautious on how she eats. The nurse care manager told us that we are the 28th agency that has provided HHA services. So the issue is not the aides or the agency it’s the patient herself.

Villalobos was not even allowed time to ask Dr. Graham further questions regarding his health issues. Dr. Graham did not even advocate for Mr. Villalobos. If Dr. Graham advocated for Mr. Villalobos he may he been able to receive healthcare through charity. According to The Ethics of Advocacy for Undocumented Patients (2013),” clinicians allocate their own time, for example, to help a patient secure charity care from a hospital or a private organization—a clinician’s own emotions and value judgments may inform her response to a situation.” The outcome for Mr. Villalobos may have been different if Dr. Graham at least tried to convince the hospital to still provide him more patient care. It is a doctor’s ethical duty to at least try to advocate for their patients. According to Emtala’s Impact on Patient's Rights In Colorado Emergency Rooms (2018),”Congress enacted EMTALA in 1986 to crack down on emergency departments that were refusing to treat poor patients. The Act prohibited EDs from screening patients based on their ability to pay, but has since been expanded to generally prohibit EDs from delaying or discouraging patients from seeking treatment.” Dr. Graham prohibited Mr. Villalobos from seeking treatment because he delayed his
Every Wednesday, I walk to work along Sheridan Road off the Lawrence Red Line stop. Each Wednesday, without fail, there is a man, disheveled and seemingly dejected, sitting in his wheelchair in the middle of my path. The first thing I notice is that he is missing a foot and the empty pant leg dangles over the dirty wheels. As I pass, he will sometimes ask for money, while mumbling unintelligibly, or just stares at the ground until I walk past him. This sad scene evokes a rising concern in me that emerges every time I see another suffering human. However, how many times have I given this man money or words of support? The truthful answer is never. The fear of being mugged or harassed as a young woman walking alone in an urban city neighborhood
My family started looking into nursing homes. It took us weeks before finally deciding. Unfortunately he will have to stay there until he improves, both mentally and physically.
My name is Jeffrey Magloire and I am a current matriculating student at Sullivan County Community College I have a couple of issues that I wanted to bring forward to your attention. As you may or may not know Sullivan County Community College has just constructed a new dormitory for incoming students. This Dormitory has opened up doors to many students that could not handle the commute to and from school. Although the dormitory has been an advantage to students traveling; the students have been living in poor condition for the last five weeks. The first problem occurred the day we walked in. The students were put into rooms where the paint smell was still resident and was the cause of two asthma attacks. We still have not received camera’s which would have been no problem if they had more than two security guards for each shift in our 350 capacity student dorm. I have read the contract that was handed to me and the dormitory has violated many promises made on that contract. The first violation has made many students drop out of school and go home and miss one semester of school. The Dormitory Corporation promised us daily maintenance on all of our bathrooms but the maintenance workers come only three times a week which has raised hazardous fumes coming from the bathroom and also the bathroom utensils are not available to students frequently which has deferred the students from having proper hygiene. The roof fire alarm has not been turned off due to the shortness of security officers and the alarm goes off every night due to loitering. They also promised that we will have telephone service which has not been honored and most of students have no way of contacting their friends and family. The School has one phone line and that one phone line is occupied by resident assistant, resident managers, security and is also the phone that security uses to contact the fire department in case of emergency.

Occasionally, we have had to deal with watching our friends struggle. By the time we summon the courage to take action or offer help, it is often too late.
