Catholic Well being Technique To Manage Colo. Hospitals; Some Concerned About Reproductive Services

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

5 (1 votes)

Healthcare Prof:

Under a deal announced Wednesday, the Kansas-based Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, a Roman Catholic-affiliated wellness system, will control three Colorado hospitals, the Denver Post reports. The move would require the hospitals to follow Catholic directives regarding well being care, and advocates are concerned about access to emergency contraception, abortion and other services that the Catholic Church opposes. The deal between Sisters of Charity and its co-sponsor, Community First Foundation, consists of the sale of Exempla Lutheran in Wheat Ridge, Colo., and Good Samaritan Medical Center in Lafayette, Colo., both of which are owned by Exempla. Based on the Post, Sisters of Charity — which owns nine hospitals in four states — already controls the third hospital, St. Joseph Hospital, an Exempla facility in Denver. Exempla’s board fought the deal and will meet on Monday to consider whether to take further action. The deal is designed to lift financial restrictions that have delayed improvement projects at the hospitals.

The ownership change means that Lutheran and Good Samaritan will no longer offer abortion, tubal ligations and vasectomies. Based on data from Sisters of Charity, the two hospitals in 2008 performed two abortions and 362 tubal ligations and vasectomies. In 2006, the hospitals performed 1 abortion and 419 sterilization procedures. Coloradoans for Patients’ Rights, which has filed a lawsuit to block the policy change, argues that the Catholic directives will cause inconveniences and financial hardship for area residents. Roland Halpern, the director of community relations for the group, said sexual assault survivors would have to travel to Denver to visit a clinic or hospital that would dispense EC (Brown, Denver Post, 8/20).

How does scientific and medical dicoveries come in to the duality of man in Dr jekyll and Mr Hyde?

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

- Chosen by Voters In Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, science becomes a cover for supernatural activities. Dr. Jekyll derives his potion in some sort of scientific manner as opposed to finding a magical amulet or something that releases evil as you might find in other stories. Dr. Jekyll’s brand of science, however, veers towards the "transcendental" (indeed, supernatural), while Dr. Lanyon adheres to a more traditional set of scientific notions.From Shmoop Lit/Theme of Science/Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Source(s): http://www.shmoop.com/theme/literature/r…http://www.google.com/search?q=http%3A%2… 3 years ago 100% 2 Votes

What do you think of medical industry in America?

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

Doctors are being held hostage by the drug industry. The so called health care industry is really health abuse industry. But having said that, they are just responding to the terrible food being grown, raised, and distributed in America. The real problem is that the medical industry has followed the allopathic method of medicine and is focused on treating symptoms, not making the body healthy. The reason is that the drug industry has created drugs that are focused on treating symptoms and most of the education doctors get is from drug company reps. Even the FDA is funded, primarily, by drug companies and food industry corporations, so they are beholding to this money stream.All you have to do is look at all the recalls and statistics to prove to yourself the FDA is not looking out for your health. Last year, 10,000 to 20,000 people died of drug overdose from "street" drugs (illegal ones like cocaine, heroin, etc.). Yet last year over 106,000 people died in hospitals due directly to drugs given to them that were doctor prescribed, FDA approved. That is over 10 times the number of people dying due to legal drugs over illegal ones. We complain about how over 4,025 men have died in Iraq, yet that was over a 4 year period. That's only 1,000 men per year. In our hospitals, 106,000 died of medical and drug company ABUSE. That's 106 times the number of deaths due to Legal Drugs. Does that sound like a reasonable way to approach health? Sounds to me like our war on drugs is directed at the wrong people. We now rank last in 45 countries in the world for longevity and it is now predicted that our children will live 5 years less than we now do. Does that sound like our food supplies, drugs, and medical science is going in the right direction?To top it off, our illustrious politicians that are bought and paid for by big money, is not addressing the real truths. Does anyone in their right mind believe that government can really administer a healthcare system? America is destroying it's self from the inside out. By letting genetically engineered foods into the market without any labeling as such is ludicrous. Yet, over 50% of the entire FDA is employed by ex-monsanto employees and is now run by an ex-monsanto executive. Is it no wonder the largest promoter of GMO's is supplying people to run the FDA that is regulating this? When you see chemotherapy being used to treat cancer patients with enormous costs involved and realize that the cure rate using this technique is only 2% to 3%, is it any wonder people are losing faith in medicine? The cure rate is based on people living over 5 years after a treatment. This is a well known statistic, yet healthcare companies continue to fund this lunacy and promote the idea of giving people hope when the use it.The correct abuse order should be: 1. Food industry is promoting and selling garbage; 2. The drug industry is making drugs to make people feel better, but not get better health wise to allow the bad food to continue; 3. The doctors are supporting the allopathic medicine approach and selling the drugs that the drug industry is teaching them what to do; 4. The health care industry is controlling what doctors can do and not do based strictly on statistical profit motivations.The bottom line is that the medical industry is about profit, not health. Treating symptoms, not root causes. It's not easy to be healthy in America today. Money doesn't talk, it SCREAMS.good luck to us all Source(s): many years of nutritional studies – B.A. biology & chemistryadvanced nutritional research 4 years ago 2 people rated this as good Do you think I can email you for some proper nutrition?
