Ethical Question
Is it ethical for a physician to accept Wild tickets from a pharmaceutical rep to take her family to the game?
in hospitals there are strict guidelines against receiving gifts from patients. small gifts that are reasonably priced or that seem appropriate are acceptable but gifts that seem to extravagant or that can be seen as bribery are grounds for dismissal.
i think that accepting gifts is fine as long as the doctor is not expected to pay the gift back in any way. if a patient wishes to give a give it must be just that, a gift.

SAUDI ARABIA
Currently any written ethical standards are not applied in all hospitals, and even worse are not known or respected by all physicians. Many large hospitals do have their own medical ethics committee that will set the standards for practice within their own facility. Many times medical ethics revolves around religious beliefs. Since 95% of the population is Muslim they follow the general ethical rules found within the Qur’an.
The Saving of Life
"...We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people. And if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people...." (Qur'an 5:32)
Life and Death is in Allah's Hands
"Blessed be He in whose hands is the Dominion, and he has Power over all things. He who created death and life that He may test which of you are best in deed, and He is Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving." (Quran 67: 1-2)
"No soul can die except by Allah's permission." (Quran 3:185)
Human Beings Should Not "Play God"
"Does not man see that it is We who created him from sperm. Yet behold! He stands as an open adversary! And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own creation. He says who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones? Say, 'He will give them life who created them for the first time, for He is versed in every kind of creation.'" (Quran 36: 77-79)
Abortion
"Kill not your children on a plea of want. We will provide sustenance for you and for them. Come not near shameful deeds whether open or secret. Take not life which God has made sacred except by way of justice and law. Thus He commands you that you may learn wisdom." (6:151)
"Kill not your children for fear of want. We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great sin." (17:31)

Diversity
to me diversity does not just refer to skin color or race it could mean skills or personality. in a hospital setting there has to be a wide variety of personalities to deal with the wide variety of patients coming in to receive treatments. skills do not have to be technical skills learned for the hospital setting but skills with dying patients, kids, or special needs people are all necessary in a hospital. championing diversity will help me in my career because it makes me less likely to say no to different experiences in my line of work and it will allow me to gather the best resources around myself.

http://www.mayoclinic.org/diversity/
all of these sources talk about race and skin color as being part of diversity but only a couple mention skills as part of diversity. i think that when most people are asked about diversity the firs thing they think of is skin color, however this is not the only kind of diversity that people should be aware of. my values tend to go towards more of a skill and personality kind of diversity, while i understand that some white people are more comfortable talking to white people and the same goes for other cultures, i dont think that hiring people for skin color will allow them to connect with the patient any more than a person with different skin color and a similiar personality could.

Professional Development Plan
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
In reflecting on my professional development, I consider that my skills and competencies have developed significantly and that my level of responsibility has developed to reflect this. Medical school is a challenging task that will draw on my skills across a very broad range of areas. Majoring in biotechnology and aspiring to go to medical school has been stressful, however it has also been a very rewarding area of work and one that I feel has significantly developed my critical thinking skills and will provide a robust basis to further my professional development. I also believe that my experience at UW- STOUT has enabled me to start to develop a wider generic skill set through small class sizes, more one on one time with professors, and a hands on learning experience. This will provide a strong basis from which to develop my future career within medical school and my desired field.
STRENGTHS
• Well developed analytical and research skills
• Strong report writing/policy skills
• Strong interpersonal skills

Post 4: Carbon Dioxide Paper Evaluation
1. https://docs.google.com/present/edit?id=0AfQ1sF3FAtuyZGRwNjlmOGpfMGdqc2hmYmRm&hl=en_US
2. i thought the criteria we chose as a class were a pretty good basis for this project. i think that the authors previous papers and his reputation should have been considered as well as the sources cited for the paper. the class was against this because of the one in a million people who have never been heard of and have a brilliant idea. these few people should not offset the millions of terrible ideas there are. the authors history was shady and his previous papers where not credible.
3. both the yes and no groups had valid points, although i think the no group put a lot more work into their side of the argument and had better presentations. this goes to prove the point dr. schultz made about how the presenters charisma and over look of the presentation can affect conclusions drawn by the audience. this was also evident in the number of votes for the no group, there were more than half of the votes for the no group.
4. whitney did a great job of directing the group and setting timelines. the deadlines were not as strictly followed as i would have hoped but in the end we pulled it together and got a good presentation.
5. i think that my group all believed that the paper was not credible. we found so many things wrong with this paper that there was no reason to believe in it. we had the easier of the two assignments. arguing against my beliefs would have been hard but i dont think that i would have and ethical issue with it.
6. i think the class made the correct decision if the only evidence we had of global warming was that paper. because that paper is by no means credible.
7. this statement means that the us is not the major source of global warming. while we may be able to influence the larger countries like india and china at this point in time, in a few years we may not be able to sway them since they may be more powerful countries than the us. evidence of this is that china and india both have more people than the us and more people means more resources.
8. if every individual were to cut back on greenhouse gas productions than the whole world would be working as one to change the current situation. one country may not be able to change the world but seeing that the larger countries are the problem if each individual made changes in these countries then greenhouse gas has to decrease.
