...Cannabis verses pharmaceutical drugs to treat seizure disorders Melissa M. Phillips COM/172 April 21, 2014 Scott Tobias Cannabis verses pharmaceutical drugs to treat seizure disorders. Chronic illnesses are prevalent this day and age due to various environmental factors, lifestyle choices, and the use of pharmaceutical drugs. There are various pharmaceutical drugs to treat patients who have chronic pain, depression, anxiety, Alzheimer's, cancer, and various seizure disorders. However, the effects of pharmaceutical drugs on people’s major organs are devastating. Cannabis is a much safer, 100% natural approach to treating chronic illnesses and it is not damaging to peoples organs. In fact, the human body has built in cannabinoid receptors in the brain and the spleen, and our bodies actually create our own cannabinoid proteins, which contains no psychoactive component. Therefore, the human body creates its own cannabis. Personally, being through what I have been through with my chronic illness; Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH), and the numerous amounts of pharmaceutical drugs I have been prescribed. I have had severe allergic reactions to various pharmaceutical drugs, a medication induced seizure, and could have possibly overdosed due to the wrong amount of medication being prescribed. Given my current situation and my new perspective on consuming something that has been on this planet for millions of years (holistic ancient medicine), or consuming something...

...Summary The U.S. Government has emphasized EMR (electronic medical records) and ECS (electronic claims system) as an answer to reducing the costs attached to patient care. In addition, electronic systems help in expediting reimbursement of insurance claims. Yet, it is still difficult to perform this task. Currently more than 60 percent of all medical claims in the U.S. are mailed. Submission of paper claims dates back in the U.S. to the early 1950’s. One of the primary reasons for not implementing a new system is the cost of new EMR and ECS systems. In 1990, the federal government mandated that physicians start submitting their claims electronically. This standard only applies to large practitioners and “small” providers can request a waiver from submitting claims electronically. This waiver was established when the government recognized the financial burden new electronic systems could have on small providers. Small providers, however, are losing money due to the inability to access current technology. Mount Brighton is an affordable medical management company that can perform the electronic claims processing for both small and big providers. Mount Brighton is efficient and effective at maximizing reimbursement, working through denials, and working through the appeals process. Industry Analysis Our company will operate in the business-to-business sector providing medical and business solutions to medical and dental offices. In addition, our company...

Unit 2 Term Paper Business ethics is the appropriate business guidelines and customs regarding debatable issues, like the way a CEO runs his company, illegal stock trading, corruption, business social and monetary obligations. The government’s authorities frequently enforce business ethics, still there are times when businesses alone will use a straightforward structure that organizations can abide by so that they simply may benefit the public interest (investopedia.com, 2013).

...As companies and organizations grow their option to become a publicly traded or public firm is explored. A publicly traded company is one that offers securities in the form of stocks or bonds for sale to the public. It is done through a stock exchange or in an over the counter market. Before a company decides to go public it is known as a private company. The decision to go public is a huge decision that can be taken by any private company. In order to become public however there are criteria to be met and steps to be taken. This paper will highlight those steps as highlighted by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, determine the pros and cons of public firms identify major and minor markets around the world and suggest Caribbean companies that can explore becoming public companies. One of the first steps is the decision to go public. Shareholders, investors and owners of the company must agree to the decision to go public by taking the necessary votes required to do so. This can be done through a shareholders’ meeting where the relevant decisions can be made by the owners of the private stock. The firm also needs to ensure there are no discrepancies on its books and that they are aligned with the accepted principles of accounting. The firm’s lawyers and auditors must ensure that documents are legitimate. By doing so time and money can be saved in the future because corrections and certification would have been completed and documents certified correct...

...Nursing in 3D: Diversity, Disparities, and Social Determinants The Social Determinants of Health: It’s Time to Consider the Causes of the Causes Paula Braveman, MD, MPHa Laura Gottlieb, MD, MPHb ABSTRACT During the past two decades, the public health community’s attention has been drawn increasingly to the social determinants of health (SDH)—the factors apart from medical care that can be influenced by social policies and shape health in powerful ways. We use “medical care” rather than “health care” to refer to clinical services, to avoid potential confusion between “health” and “health care.” The World Health Organization’s Commission on the Social Determinants of Health has defined SDH as “the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age” and “the fundamental drivers of these conditions.” The term “social determinants” often evokes factors such as health-related features of neighborhoods (e.g., walkability, recreational areas, and accessibility of healthful foods), which can influence health-related behaviors. Evidence has accumulated, however, pointing to socioeconomic factors such as income, wealth, and education as the fundamental causes of a wide range of health outcomes. This article broadly reviews some of the knowledge accumulated to date that highlights the importance of social—and particularly socioeconomic— factors in shaping health, and plausible pathways and biological mechanisms that may explain their effects. We also discuss...

...The Ethical and Legal Complexity of Medical Tourism: Questions of International Justice, Economic Redistribution and Health Care Reform Professor Sarah McBride Toro Longe April 18, 2010 M.J. Thesis in Health Law Abstract This is an essay on medical tourism in the United States of America (U.S.). It includes a brief history of the U.S. health care system, examines the social, cultural, ethical, and legal issues that have affected health care changes in America. With the number of Americans going overseas to seek medical care steadily rising, the American insurance industry expanding benefits, and the Joint Commission accrediting facilities for globalization of the health care marketplace, medical tourism should become increasingly important in the health care industry. While there are many reasons for patients seeking health care outside of their own country, one that is particularly easy to overlook is the outsourcing of health care and its effect in U.S. and around the world. The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of medical tourism, noting the specific medical tourism destinations, presenting reasons for the recent increase in medical tourism, and examining the risks and benefits, as well as wrestling with the challenging ethical and legal issues inherent in medical tourism. The paper will conclude with consideration of the role of the law in medical tourism. Introduction Over the past 100 years, the United States of America (U.S.) has changed greatly...

The gateway/ stepping stone theory - the use of 1 drug leads to the use of other more dangerous drugs What are drugs ? Krivanek's definition : Drugs are substances that are introduced into the body knowingly but not as food. Therefore illicit drugs, legal recreational drugs and legal but regulated pharmaceutical drugs that aren't recreational at all. - Whether if a drug is considered bad and is prohibited depends on the culture of the society in a particular period.
