Your medical problems are only one side of the story. Consider the nursing perspective and the godawful problems that medical professionals face in providing you with optimal care:

Part Two, Ethical Issues for Nurses: http://www.nursetogether.com/tabid/102/itemid/2166/Ethics-in-Nursing-Issues-Nurses-Face.aspx


You need your medical team to cooperate with you, to improve your health, end or accomodate your pain and limitations. But those doctors and nurses face nightmares of their own: fear of felicitous lawsuits, physical and mental exhaustion, lack of knowledge (who on earth could keep current with every medical advance in the world? It takes focus and adequate time to learn them, let alone to find out that they exist). Rude patients, friends and relatives only complicate matters.

End or at least minimize the problems.
Treat medical professionals with
courtesy and respect.

Gratitude would be nice, too.

How to Deal with Defeat - Succesfully!

Star Trek's compelling character Seven of Nine had been kidnapped from her murdered parents as a child. Forced into losing much of her human identity so that she'd become an obedient robot hellbent on destruction, she ultimately decided to reclaim and to further develop her better nature.

She recovered her potential for decency, compassion and healing one determined step at a time.

You're feeling robbed of your humanity because of illness, emotional or physical trauma. Defeat leaves a lousy taste in your mouth and a worse feeling in your heart.

There are solutions for the rollercoaster ride of your life. Read Bob Burg's piece about how to face adversity Handling Those “Unfair Things”.

Now go one step further. Buy the E-book that medical and mental health professionals recommend for coping with your medical adversities.

A Medical Ethics Issue that MUST be Resolved to Serve Humanity

Whew, it's been a busy week. I was interviewed for a news article about how people benefit from my books and coaching, plus I'm teaching Social Media Savvy to some interested business people while spending time with friends visiting from another country.

Here's some food for thought I'd like to share with you over the weekend:

How would you feel
if your life were
threatened by disease
and doctors refused
to share your tissue
samples with
researchers seeking
a way to save you?

The hospital administrators and relevant doctors cited in the article below, and others like them, are missing a superb health-promoting and public relations opportunity. They could develop the legal means of sharing patient tissues in an effort to preserve and to improve a person's life.

I'm awestruck at the failure to appreciate this! Lawyers could perform some public service by lending their skills to solving this heart-breaking dilemma.

Let me know what you think after you click on Niki Perry's story at Patients, hospitals wrestle over tumor tissue.

Er, no, I cannot explain the odd color of the patient's "hair."

Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity.
Face Your Future with Optimism.

How to Solve the Organ Donation Crisis - Despite Moral and Medical Dilemmas

Lives are on the line because of much-needed organ transplants. Body parts are auctioned to the highest bidders. Defenseless victims might be murdered, their organs "harvested" for the sales to take place. Poorer patients face death for lack of cash.

Patients at
death's door

might not know
what is going on.

They're simply trying to remain alive until doctors and

donors can save them.

MANY, many lives are at stake.

The organ donation world is not systematic, not morally regulated or by any means risk-free. Click on Scandalous Medical and Moral Issue to get some insight into the problem, and perhaps how to solve it.
