Patch Adams

Patch Adams real name is Hunter Adams. A man who was in the same mental institution Patch Adams was in had given him the nickname. He named him Patch Adams because he patched up his cup because it was leaking. The understanding that I got from the question “how many fingers do you see?” was not to see what others see. Let the focus go, you do not want to see the problem, you want to see the solution.
These are some of his good customer service skills. Patch Adams treats his patients with respect. He also tried to use his humor to help heal the pain and suffering. Patch Adams tried to grant their wishes while they were on their death bed. He tried to make them forget about the negative things. He wants them to make the best of it while it lasts. There are a lot of bad customer services from the nurses and Patch Adams in the hospital. For example, one of the nurses refused to enter room 305 because the patient was mean. That shows neglecting a patient. Patch Adams also showed some bad customer service. Not acting professional in a work place. He goofed around a lot only to make his patients happy, and they were very grateful of his humor. Also the director who was walking the class around was shouting out the patient’s diagnoses out loud, that wasn’t good customer service. The front desk lady didn’t want to attend a patient’s mom until she filled out all of paper work. She should have attended her first because it was an emergency.
Patch Adams did a lot of illegally things that took place in the hospital and in school. The director was showing the third year class around and was telling his students about the patient’s diagnoses. That is the patients’ confidential business and it should have not been discussed. Patch Adams also communicated with the patients and he was only in his first year of medical school. The nurses were also discussing the patient’s diagnosis with Patch Adam who is a student. It is not to be discussed

    In the case presented for discussion described above, it was imminent that Dr. Yarnell had a justifiable medical history that supported his symptoms. Nonetheless, it can be argued the way PA Brian decided to evaluate and treat Dr. Yarnell was biased or based on personal interests. PA Brian’s medical judgment was compromised. Mutual personal motivations existed between Dr. Yarnell and PA Brian. However, as a clinician PA Brian should have impartially evaluated Dr. Yarnell by properly and examining and documenting his findings or properly redirecting Dr.Yarnell to a different clinician. If the patient (Dr. Yarnell) was never appropriately examined, how can PA Brian as a health care provider substantiate that the medication prescribed was adequate and beneficial for the…

    The fourth physician is the brother-in-law of the Community Medical Center’s Chief Executive Officer. He simply takes advantage of his family ties with the Chief Executive officer to gain a grace period for completing his records for the sake of convince. The last two physicians, who had been left from the list Barbara explained, are simply handled with kid gloves because they tend to be general nuisances to the organization if things are not done their own way. After talking with Barbara, Maya felt it would be appropriate to share the issue to administration, assuming the senior administrators of the facility was equally as dedicated to calculating and reporting accurate statistics. Unfortunately, the Chief Executive officer says keeping the physicians happy should be priority, because without these six physicians being able to admit patients or schedule surgical procedures, the organization revenue would decrease. He also reminded her of the importance of the confidential nature of the unwritten policy to prevent other physicians from expecting similar treatment (Ethics case studies for health information management,…

    Spence case, both parties were in a lawsuit about informed consent. The physician failed to tell the patient of the risks that can happen while going into surgery and any risks that can happen after the surgery. The patient was told of the surgery but did not ask for any additional information. For my personal choice in this case i would find both sides responsible for some of the factors that has happened in the decision making of the physician and the patient. I believe that if the patient has a well grounded mind then the physician should tell them about all the risks for the precare, the surgery itself, and the postoperative care. All of this information can help to save the hospital from a lawsuit. Also, when the patient is presented with an illness that can be helped with an operation they should always do some research about it. This includes being able to ask additional questions and concerns to the…

    Among the many administrative responsibilities that a medical assistant has, patient confidentiality is one of the most crucial aspects of working in a hospital or clinic. In the scenario presented for this assignment, an employee sees a fellow assistant looking at the medical record of a patient who has recently been on the news for accused child abuse. Upon inquiry, the assistant claims that they must have opened the wrong file – their hesitant reaction to being questioned is an indication of disingenuous behaviour and needs to be addressed immediately. In a situation, such as the one presented, the employee in question should be given an opportunity to explain themselves before going to a higher authority, as it could be a genuine mistake,…
