Who has the moral and legal rights to cut the lives of some people? It is a big issue particularly in different religions we have regarding their perspectives and religious beliefs. Italian authorities have arrested 70 nurses and hospital attendants who allegedly got their jobs using fake nursing diplomas. The criminal organization behind this was selling these diplomas to those who were looking for extra cash or a higher payday, which ran about 15,000 Euros or $19,000 dollars. Fortunately, their lack of experience eventually caught up and the crime ring’s operation was brought down. In the U.S., there have been many reports of malpractice over the years. There are stories of individuals who get the wrong limbs amputated or go in for surgery and end up getting the wrong organ removed, some even leading to a wrongful death. There are startling statistics on malpractice; some 44,000 to 88,000 cases get filed each year. Although we will never be able to completely master being perfect, there are other things we can do that are within our capabilities to improve our medical system. One of the important issues we must address is the grueling schedules worked by new resident doctors. Sleep deprivation is not only a rising concern in this field, but it can result in something absolutely deadly. So the next time you go to the doctor and he looks sleepy, don’t hesitate to reschedule your appointment – your life may depend on it.
