Amy Chemotherapy Case Summary
Lindsey,
Amy‘s response concerning her unfavorable treatment shows that she is in emotional distress. Having undergone different treatment plans without any benefit can also affect her psychologically. You made a great point that she will need to undergo spiritual counselling because she is too young. In addition, chemotherapy has huge adverse effect and I wonder how she has been reacting to some of these adverse effects. The medical team will need to approach her case with a holistic view to prevent further harm and promote Amy’s quality of life. Furthermore, they may look into palliative care since cure is not feasible.

    Pharmagen Case Summary

    In this situation I would argue that ASC 730-20 is applicable. Pharmagen is entering into an agreement with PEI (investors) on a contractual basis to provide services and an option to acquire the results of the R&D (FASB 68). Pharmagen retains all ownership rights to the development of X. It also states that in R&D arrangements the entity (in this case Pharmagen) usually has an option to either purchase the partnership’s interest (PEI) or to obtain the exclusive rights to the entire results in return for a lump sum payment or royalty payments to the partnership (in this case PEI). This clearly fits into Pharmagen’s case since PEI is entitled to receive future royalties from Pharmagen in return for contributions (funds) for the development of X.…

    Analysis: A Little Girl Died Because Canada Chose Cultural Sensitivity Over Western Medicine

    “A Little Girl Died Because Canada Chose Cultural Sensitivity Over Western Medicine” by Jerry A. Coyne, 1/21/2015, this article explains how a 11-year old girl named Makayla Sault died from acute lymphoblastic leukemia after suffering from a stroke the previous day. Makayla could no longer deal with the pain and suffering of the side effects of chemotherapy treatment so her parents decided to no longer proceed with the chemotherapy treatment. The decision was based on her family cultural and religious beliefs. Alternative Medicine is not new to the medical community; however, the doctors argued that if the little girl would have proceeded with chemotherapy and standard treatment, she had at least a 75 percent chance of survival. Alternative medicine verses modern medicine is one of the most controversial topics because of the argument that many deaths could have been prevented just like the one in this story.…

    How Cancer Changed My Life

    Elke found out that she had cancer when she was only about 25 years old, age does not matter to cancer, and it does not discriminate. The thought of watching her go through this at such a young age was just unimaginable. I have learned to start being more aware of my own health, after seeing her have to fight so hard, I had no choice. With the history of cancer in my family and what she went through, I decided to be proactive and the day after she passed away I went for a mammogram because the earlier cancer is detected, the better the outcome. I have an appointment to have a hysterectomy, and have had many MRIs to scan for migraine problems and check for cancer. Elke battling so hard just opened my eyes to see how fast things can happen and with no warning. She had to go through many tests, chemotherapy, and she was sick all of the time. The medications and chemotherapy and radiation break down the immune system and made her more susceptible to other illnesses. I didn’t want to have to go through all of that, it was awful to watch her go through it, but she did and…

    Commemorative Speech

    Tall, luscious, long, brown hair, beautiful brown eyes, and has the maturity level of a five year old. Rachel Steele was a popular girl who loved volleyball as much as a fat kid loves chocolate cake. Kind, strong headed, sweet spirited, loving, strong in the gospel, and always wanting to make people laugh shaped Rachel into a true young woman. Never in a million years would you think a girl like this would have to deal with such a hard trial. Playing volleyball was the only thing Rachel loved to do. Two weeks before nationals headaches started to come that wouldn’t go away for days. Thinking it was mono Rachel went to the doctors to get the diagnoses. Doctors are always there to help inform you about your symptoms but at that moment Rachel Steele wished she could rewind and never hear those dreadful words that came out of the doctor’s mouth, you have cancer. “I wasn’t afraid to die at first. I was just thinking ‘what about volleyball?’ because volleyball was my life.” Throughout her treatments though, Rachel prayed for her life and became less focused on sports. All she wanted to do was get through this year alive. The only cure to her cancer was five rounds of chemo therapy, and staying in the hospital for a year. Many people would breakdown and cry, in fact that’s what I did when I found out the news. But not this girl. Rachel started a blog that she updated every couple days to keep her friends and family informed on how she was doing. Some days were better than others, but she always kept a good attitude. Worn down, exhausted, skin and bone, no hair, excruciating pain, and still a smile on her face. “Losing my hair was the worst. I would run my finger through my hair and big chunks would fall out, that’s when I decided to shave it off so I didn’t have to suffer anymore.”…
