In this course, we look at classical ethical theories of utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. We also look at the different kinds of perspectives on ethical issues introduced by relativism, ethical egoism, and emotivism.
For this paper, you will pick an ethical issue to discuss, but one that is not a specific topic addressed in our text (thus, gun control or product liability would not be possible choices). Some examples are given below, but it is recommended that you choose to write on a topic you have already encountered or you have thought about previously. (One way of thinking about this is to think of an ethical issue that either worries you or enrages you.)
Identify, specifically, the ethical issue and the ethical problems it presents. Drawing on various sources, explain how one of the classical theories (utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics) would resolve the problem. Then, contrast this response with the perspective brought to the issue by relativism, emotivism, or ethical egoism. Finally, state which of these views is closer to your own, supporting your response with a clearly-presented and well-supported argument. The more specific you can be the better, and feel free to include examples that will strengthen your account.

There are more people incarcerated in the United States than history has ever recorded; in fact, the U.S. has the world’s highest prison population with over 2 million incarcerated, and there is no indication of the population growth slowing down. This growing prison population has alarming consequences on many facets of prisoner care, and in particular, medical care provided to prisoners. The financial impact of providing adequate medical care for this enormous prison population has severe and deep reaching repercussions on not just the prisons, but the law-abiding citizens, states, and indeed, the entire nation. Many arguments have been made on what level of care constitutes adequate care, and even if health care should or should not be provided to prisoners. The ethical and moral responsibilities we, as a society, are obligated to provide is a hotly debated topic. There are many possible solutions to the health care dilemma, but whether or not those solutions meet the ethical requirements that society has incurred as a result of incarcerating people considered a threat to society is questionable. Also in question is the.

Patient Letter
Health Services Manager,
Three Mountain Regional Hospital.
Dear New Patient,
The Intake Packet is an important document which marks the start of every successful medical procedure. This is a necessary document which will be used to process all doctor’s appointment in Three Mountain Hospital. The Intake Packet has different components which are crucial to upholding professional standards and best practice in healthcare. These components include; i) organizational ethics and values which will be used to guide healthcare practice and behavior of healthcare professionals, ii) a privacy policy which enhances the protection of patient information, and iii) statement of compliance with HIPAA regulations.
Ethics is a crucial component of the Intake Packet which focuses on promoting best practice in healthcare. It also emphasizes on building the relationship between the patient and the physician so as to improve cooperation and their involvement in decision-making during care delivery. The Intake Packet adheres to the HIPAA privacy and confidentiality statement by ensuring patient information can only be used and shared with the consent of the patients. Three Mountains Hospital takes the safety of its patients seriously and will ensure that health information will only be used for medical purposes as stipulated by government laws and policies.
Yours Sincerely,
Health Services Manager
Code of Ethics
The code of ethics tends to outline the mission and values within an organisation, the ways staffs and other employees should approach company problems. The ethical principles that are based on the company’s core values and standards that the organisation is held are:
· From billing for services; employees of Three Mountains Regional Hospital must remain free from offers as well as solicitations so that they can benefit at personal level by performing work where outside parties do benefit.
· Communication; the employees should not at all use social media, marketing platforms or other communications forms to disclose patient’s and hospital’s confidential information.
· Physicians activities; At the Three Mountains, they don’t recommend submitting bill or charge for a given service where the referring physician or immediate member of the family has financial relationship with the health system. Due to complex nature of these laws, legal department approval should be obtained before establishment of financial relationship with the physician is established.
· Privacy: Giving information of the patients inappropriately may subject one to criminal prosecution. The invasion of patients’ privacy should be avoided. If patient’s information is released inappropriately is very harmful.
· Conflict of interest; this exists wh.

Prayer of maimonides
The prayer of Maimonides summarizes in 3 sentences:
Maimonides prays to God for wisdom in healing the human body which God created with ten thousands of organs working in harmony. He asks God to fill him with love for the art of healing and to sustain his strength so that he serves all people equally, regardless of who they are. Maimonides recognizes the vast scope of medicine and prays to widen his knowledge so humanity may benefit from his efforts, knowing nothing can flourish without God's help.
Declaration of helsinki

Acupuncture -
This document summarizes an outbreak of cutaneous Mycobacterium abscessus infections associated with acupuncture treatments at a clinic in Toronto, Canada between April and December 2002. A total of 32 patients developed skin infections, with a median incubation period of 1 month after treatment. Skin biopsies from 23 patients showed granulomatous inflammation in most cases. Isolates from 6 patients were confirmed to be M. abscessus through genetic analysis. The infections resolved in most patients, but all developed residual scarring or hyperpigmentation of the skin. This outbreak demonstrates that nontuberculous mycobacteria can cause preventable infections associated with acupuncture when infection control practices are inadequate.
Acupuncture Poster - Infection Control
An outbreak of Mycobacterium abscessus skin infections was linked to improper sterilization and reuse of acupuncture needles at a Toronto clinic. Of 147 clients between April-December 2002, 32 (22%) developed infections. Interviews found reusable needles were improperly sterilized and stored. Most Canadian provinces regulate acupuncture, but Ontario lacks oversight. Public health authorities advocated regulating acupuncturists and revising guidelines to include infection control standards for acupuncture.
