Medical Ethics Rescue Principle

Question: Describe about the Medical Ethics for Rescue Principle. Answer: 1. Rescue principle has two connected parts. The first part explains that life and death are important above everything. The second part highlights though society has an unequal distribution of wealth; every individual must provide with the equal health care facilities. The principle helps to understand the pain of human in the context of life and death. But the principle has done more harm to the standard of health-care as it fails to explain about the spending of society. In prudence insurance ideal the insurance company paid an amount of money for the health care service brought by patient and doctor. The insurance money is subsidized by the government. In this case, the patient paid the actual cost indirectly by the expense on other materials and services. 2. If the physicians find the situation is less complicated, then they did not inform the patient but in the case of higher risks they informed the patient for better collaboration. To avoid the depression feeling of the patient, the physicians do not use the cancer word. The physicians have suggested informing the patient about the complicacy of the situation by tittering the risk level measured by research. The consent of the patient about the research is very low, and it is a legal duty of the physicians to disclose the detailed information to the patient for participating in the research. For the research purpose, the physicians are not allowed to override the rights and immunities of the patient. 3. The patient has a malignancy in one of her breasts, and she has two choices with an equal rate of surviving by mastectomy or by radiation with minimal surgery. The physicians explained the nature of both operations and the patient chose the breast preservation process. And this model is superior because the patient should decide the process suitable for her welfare. Jehovah's Witnesses of prohibition blood transfusion not support the medical treatment and suggests that faith will cure the ailment. But the consent model allows the patient to know about the medication process applied to him/her. The model also makes the patient aware of the danger of refusing a blood transfusion. 4. The physicians have no control over the coercing party. Mrs. R must contend with her pain in the abdominal region which is very common in the case of appendicitis. Mrs. R has to decide whether to perform an appendectomy or not. But the patient decision is controlled by negative arguments on which the physicians have no control. The physicians must proceed with the ECT as Mrs. R's consent is not invalid. Furthermore, the decision of the patient to undergo surgery originates from the pain in appendix then it is morally justified for the physician. But if the coercion of family members is supported by the physician then it is not justified. 5. The decision making the capacity of the patient depends upon the choice between appropriate treatment option and understanding the relevant information provided by the physicians which include the current status of patient and complication of the medication process. It is necessary that the patient should have their view of the medical condition and consequences. They must provide relevant reasons for the treatment option they have chosen. 6. Death is not at all bad because people remain in a long state of unconsciousness, and it is impossible to imagine that state. It is not very easy to say when an individual will suffer death. Death is considered as bad due to it remove the desirability of life. The moment a person died then, the person do not exist anymore. If a brain injury reduces a man's mental health to that of an infant, then it will free the man from care. The intelligent person then will be considered as a subject of misfortune. People around the person pity on him but the person do not mind because he merely exists. 7. Active euthanasia associated with the dying of patient due to some other person. And when the patient died because of the inactivity of professionals then it termed as passive euthanasia. If a wounded soldier wants to extend his life although of his injury, then the other soldier must support the moral decision of letting die over killing. Charity attaches individuals for doing a favor to each others. Justice is associated with the positive service and the fact what men owe to each other. 8. When someone in the family seriously gets ill, and the entire family is suffering both mentally and economically then to relief them from suffering the patient have to choose the decision of death. The physician can help the process by assisting in a suicide and by not abandoning the patient at the death moment.
