In reference to the Greynolds v. Kurman case study, I will evaluate and present my reflection. I will delve into the best practices my organizations would put into place to deter liability in a similar situation. I will also delve into ethical issues that would take place. And lastly, I would incorporate how scripture would be correlated into these issues.
In the case study of Greynolds v. Kurman, we see that Mr. Greynolds had endured a transient ischemic attack; this incident then lead to a trouncing of neurological functioning (Pozgar, 2015). At that point Mr. Reynolds had muddled speech and perceptive aphasia (Pozgar, 2015). Mr. Reynolds was then evaluated by Dr. Rafecas; then at that point Dr. Rafecus had arranged the cerebral angiogram (Pozgar, 2015). However, it was Dr. Kurman who carried out the angiogram operation (Pozgar, 2015). It was at this point that Mr. Greynolds had a stroke that caused him to be brutally disabled (Pozgar, 2015). As a result, “Greynolds and his wife had filed a medical malpractice action against Dr. Rafecas and Dr. Kurman, asserting that Dr. Rafecas negligently recommended the procedure and that Dr. Kurman performed the procedure without consent of the patient” (Pozgar, 2015, p. 338).…show more content… Kurman had assumed consent from Mr. Greynolds from his meeting with Dr. Rafecas. If I were the health care administrator of the organization, I would make it absolutely mandatory that no matter who the patient consulted with and who they actually did the procedure with, each doctor needs to have a consent form for each doctor. This way, if any issues do happen, then the patient cannot file a lawsuit based on lack of consent given. Granted, the patient can file for negligence or incompetence of the procedure, at the least the hospital can defend itself and prove that the patient did in fact grant
