...Case Summary: Facts/Issues: Harold Shipman aka “ Dr. Death.” Harold Shipman was an English Physician, who made home visits to the majority of his patients, especially the patients who were mostly elderly or homebound. The suspicion began in the year of 1998 when local morticians were becoming suspicious when the death rates in the area grew which had Shipman listed as their physician. Another thing that made the undertakers suspicious is that most of the decedents were homebound elderly women that were dying. The deaths of these elderly women were synonymous to each other at home sitting up or lying in their beds and fully dressed. During the investigation by the police, a terrible discovery was made, according to the clinical audit, Dr. Shipman had murdered close to 236...

...Apothecaries Act published in 1815 in the UK required all doctors to hold a medical degree in order to practice medicine16. During Shipman's day, GPs were independent practitioners and were only accountable to the GMC. After Shipman, clinical governance which had been introduced in 1997 took stronger grounds . More clinical audits were performed to identify errors and review systems. Today, GPs have to report deaths any significant incidents to the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Medical Coroners have to work with judicial coroners to certify deaths and unexpected deaths have to be investigated by the coronial...

...Dr. Harold Shipman is one of the United Kingdom's most dangerous killers to ever live. And this is his life story. Shipman was born in England on January 14, 1946 as a middle child to a working class family. He became his mother's favorite which negatively impacted him having friends, so he grew up isolated as an adolescent. When his mother was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, he willingly oversaw her care as she declined, fascinated by the positive effect that the administration of morphine had on her suffering, until she died to the disease on June 21,1963. Devastated by her death, he was determined to go to medical school, and he was admitted to Leeds University medical school for training two years later. Although he failed the...

...There would always be loopholes or failures in the care system, with or without our own will. It takes tragedies to make us aware of the need of improvement, monitoring and more drastic laws in the care system. As in the case of Harold Shipman, a respected British GP and one of the most prolific serial killers whose killing spree is estimated at 250. Most of his victims were elderly women, about 80%. His usual method of killing was by the administration of a lethal dose of Diamorphine. It was the failure of the system in place to identify his crimes during the course of his medical career, in which the police failed to investigate the patient’s death properly.

...The purpose of this assignment is to explore the nature of the nurse-patient relationship and discuss its relevance to the patient care experience. Through a wide range of research the essay will consider how the nurse-patient relationship can contribute positively towards the patient care experience and will conclude with a reflection on how the findings will inform personal and professional development. The nurse-patient relationship is founded on the need of care, assistance and guidance for the patient and therefore can be regarded as a therapeutic relationship. The patient is put in a vulnerable position when they need to rely on the nurse to guide and assist them in their own care. Hinchliff et al. (2003) suggested that the nurse has access to a wide range of personal information on the patient along with specialist knowledge and skills which puts them in a position of authority. Patients can feel reassured that all nurses are regulated by The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). The NMC is a regulatory body which has a code of conduct that sets out standards that all nurses and midwives have to comply with in order to keep their registration. (NMC, 2008). The code sets out standards that incorporate trust, treating people as individuals, respecting confidentiality, collaborating with others, gaining consent and maintaining healthy boundaries. Before any health care professional, including nurses can begin to care or treat a patient they must gain consent. The...

Lots of people talk about society, but are they sociologists? No they are individualistic thinkers. They talk about individual people and cases instead of the group. Individualistic thinking at Universities: Professors award individual students with grades based on their ‘individual’ merits. What would the SOCIOLOGIST ask? Do some students have to work to earn money? Do some students have to spend time commuting to campus (no dorms!)? Do some students have family responsibilities.? Do some courses/majors have more generous grading procedures than others? Why are there more A students now than there were twenty years ago??? When and Why did sociological thinking begin?

...Anatomy of Violence Paper December 2013 The Anatomy of Violence is a non-fiction book, written by Adrian Raine, which investigates and presents facts to prove a neurocriminology hypothesis. Adrian Raine conducted experiments, researched and studied the biological roots of violence. He inaugurated neurocriminology, a newer field that incorporates neuroscience methods with the intention of examining the causes of violent criminal acts. Raine analyzes criminal minds. He pieces together research, data, and experiments of psychology, neurology, and criminology in order to inform the public of this new notion which sheds a new light on why people are or become violent criminals. This book was very interesting, well-explained, an easy read and the author incorporated many scientific examples to back up his theories. Adrian Raine takes us on a scientific expedition and exposes brain malfunction to be the cause of violent criminal acts. Raine’s theories are interesting and definitely bring forth many important questions however, while reading, I found some of his concepts are difficult to fully envision for logical reasons. A number of his concepts give an overreaching impression and are a bit too broad. While Raine brings up many valid points, I found myself asking important questions while reading Anatomy of Violence. Does this new research and belief give criminals a “Get out of jail free” card? While reading this book, I asked myself, Will this new theory allow...
