Summary Introduction

Case summary:

Person X worked in the emergency department of a reputed hospital. The hospital had a good relationship with the patients but one incident made the life of the patient at risk.

An 8 year old child patient called Person E came with a right forearm fracture. The ED protocol states that a person must always be there with the child to take care because of diazepam sedation. The assisted doctor was working for more than 14 hours, hence, he asked the nurse to do the procedures. The nurse was a fresh graduate and is not comfortable in giving drugs and also, she does not wish to disturb the doctor.

However, she went and gave the dose against the protocol. The action of the nurse undermined the safety of the patient and this led to the act of negligence by both the doctor and the nurse.

Characters in the case:

  • Person E: The patient
  • Person X: The employee of the hospital
  • Doctor
  • Nurse

To discuss:

The priority involved in Person E’s care that is related to the health, well-being, and safety.

Analyze the character of Aylmer, who seeks to remove his wife's birthmark in his quest for perfection, and draw parallels to contemporary society's fascination with plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures. Discuss how Aylmer's actions and motivations reflect modern ideals of beauty and the societal pressures to conform to an idealized standard. Consider the ethical implications of altering one's appearance to achieve perfection and the potential psychological and physical consequences. Reflect on the story's message about the nature of true beauty and the potential pitfalls of striving for an unattainable physical ideal. Your paper should be 1 page, double-spaced (250 words) and should draw connections between 'The Birth-Mark' and contemporary attitudes towards cosmetic procedures.
