...A health care proxy is an official legal document that appoints a person of your choosing the permission to make any and all health care related decisions for you in the event that you can no longer do it yourself. This is what is known as a proxy, power of attorney or agent and the doctor will go by what they tell them in your stead. When you are planning your estate, or even before that, it's one of the most important things you can do to protect your rights and wishes in the event that you are unable to make medical decisions on your own. This ensures that you will always get the type of health care that you want, where you want and by the doctors you want. You do not have to be terminally ill in order for a health care proxy to take effect either, it can take effect if your mental capacity has somehow been affected by illness or trauma as well....

My darling KateJust finished my 1st day at work at Kensington Corporate & Accounting Services. What a day! I thought you would usually have an orientation on the 1st day, where people are all nice to you, buy you lunch, make sure you are all settled down, and go for tea break. That was what happened at my SIP. I think once you become an employee, it is very different. Everybody is just so matter-of-fact and after a ½ hour tour around the office and a brief introduction to everyone, I was shown my little cubicle and then work just started!!Anyway, I had to draft a couple of Notices of Resolution.

...1. Process of Voting by Proxies Public companies at many times require resolutions to be passed by members. These resolutions are passed by holding general meetings. However, it is inconvenient for many members to attend the meetings, for example members maybe living abroad or in different states. In the absence of members, there is provision of proxy voting. Proxy voting means to appoint an individual or a body corporate (s 249X 1A) to vote in place of a member (Halsbury, pg 1). A proxy appointment form is sent to members along with notice of meeting. Members unable to attend the meeting then fill in the proxy form and send it back. The proxy appointed has the same right as the member would have in a meeting, to speak, vote or not vote and demand for a poll. However, a proxy is expected to act according to the instruction of the member or, if undirected, in the interest of the member (Halsbury, pg 12). Voting occurs either by a show of hands or a poll. A proxy can join a demand for poll and take part in it, however, a company’s constitution may restrict partake of proxies in a show of hands (Halsbury, pg 12). Yet, proxy voting has its own criticism. Appointing a proxy does not necessarily mean that they will vote, a proxy may decide not to vote (CSA, pg 4) thus the shareholders vote is not utilised. Moreover, a proxy who has been appointed by many shareholders may choose to cast vote of those shareholders, with whom his views match (CSA, pg 6). This is a concept...

How to use an Informed Consent in Emergency Situations II. Elements of Full informed consent A. Assessment of patient understanding B. The Nature of the decision/Procedure III. Interventions that require Informed Consent A. Cancer Screening test B. Clinical Decision IV. Waive Informed Consent Form A. Reason to waive B. Who gives the approval of waiver V. Conclusion A. Summary Informed consent means that permission is granted in the knowledge of the possible consequences, typically that which is given by a patient to a doctor for treatment with full knowledge of the possible risks and benefits. However, informed consent in an emergency situation can only be presumed rather than obtained when the patient is unconscious or incompetent and no surrogate decision maker is available and the emergency interventions will prevent death or disability. In general, the patient's presence in the hospital ward, ICU or clinic does not represent implied consent to all treatment and procedures. The patient's wishes and values may be quite different from the values of the physician. While the principle of respect for the patient obligates the physician to do their best to include the patient in the health care decisions that affect the patient’s life and body, the principle...

...The Feeding Tube 1. Explain how the Patient Bill of Rights applies to this situation. The patients of the country in the United States are provided a particular right. This right is called the Patient Bill of Rights (Kronenfeld, 2002). The Patient Bill of Rights has a significant impact and is essential for the people who are in the health care organization for the purpose of getting treatment properly and easily. In this scenario, June is suffering from anorexia and the doctors feel she may need to be placed on a feeding tube to save her life. June agreed to the procedure but became combative, disoriented and refused to have the tube place the evening before the procedure was to take place. The patient bill of rights applies, as the patient has a right to know what treatment options are available to one and what the possible outcomes may be. The patient has a right to decide one’s medical care. One also has a right to know of any side effects of treatments. June needs to be told what may happen without the feeding tube and what can be expected with the feeding tube. June also has a right to have her health information kept confidential, with information given only to those she designates as being allowed to have her health information (Showalter, 2008). It is noted that in the absence of a progressive terminal disease, the feeding tube may be used to prolong life and since the patient is not dying of another cause, discontinuing the feeding tube would imply a desire to cause...

...Charlotte Cox Dr. M Butkus Philosophy 251-W1 13 July 2013 Where the Decision Lies Living wills are documents that define a patient’s medical wishes usually pertaining to life-support or any such instances where death is presumable. A living will provides a patient with a voice under circumstances which would leave them without the ability to make health decisions. Patients who fall into a persistently vegetative state would be at the mercy of their physician, next of kin, or living will. However, there are many times when a patient’s family has contradicting beliefs to what the patient proclaims in their living will. It can be difficult to decide whose decision should prevail. Ultimately, the previsions made by the patient in their living will should overrule in a majority of situations. Still, there are circumstances when such a decision may be unclear. First, we must understand the medical extent of someone who is in a persistently vegetative state. PVS is a disorder of consciousness and the patient is not in a state of trust awareness. PVS occurs when a patient loses cognitive function and can only perform certain involuntary actions. Such actions include but are not limited to crying, laughing, or movement of the eyes. For them, any movement or response is purely spontaneous, unpredictable and unconnected to events outside of physical impulse. After one year, it's highly unlikely that patients will emerge from their persistent vegetative state. For those who do, severe...

...Clark, who may not survive for overnight. How ED would justify cost of care and resources for the patient who may not live to see next day. Even if he survives overnight, he has only few months to live. And the cost of transferring Mr. Clark to VA hospital if ED physician were able to stabilize him. State of Colorado does not include the language that prohibits physician from becoming medical proxy for incapacitated patient or designated by the patient and/or family of the patient (State of Colorado, n.d.). However there are some concerning over physician becoming MPOA for his patient. Rosoff and Leong voice their concerns as, “there is often a lack of concordance between what patient believes and desires, and what the doctor thinks the patient believes and desires, emphasizes that open honest bilateral communication between the two serves to enhance the level of true understanding” (Rosoff, P.M. &Leong, K.M., 2015). Gillian quotes Kong’s question should physicians accept the informed but poor choices made by patients based on the respect for autonomy (Gillian, 2014). Jansen also voices concern over the element of health care system that includes practices that will not help improve the health of the patients but in some cases harmful to them (Jansen, 2013) In the case of Mr. Clark, there were no communication between the patient and ED physician. Based on the Colorado State law, ED physician may legally assign himself as a medical proxy. However it is not likely that ED physician...

...way of emotional coddling and Mark Zuckerberg is like that. If your confidence in your own abilities is self-generated and emotionally secure, and you are seeking someone who will pose to you ever-greater challenges to surmount, then Mark Zuckerberg is a pretty good fit for you. However, he is not there to develop you because that is your own job. Following Facebook's initial public offering, Mr. Zuckerberg will continue to own the majority of the company's voting shares. He will also own the largest single stake of the company as a whole. Even though Facebook has brought on more experienced business and technology leaders as the company has grown, Mr. Zuckerbeg is the youngest member of the board, by about a decade and it is unclear how much influence they will have over the man who founded the company. Since he founded Facebook eight years ago in a Harvard dorm room, Zuckerberg has methodically consolidated his control...
