A 70-year-old woman bed-bound following a stroke has developed bronchopneumonia, but her daughter produces an advance directive that she says her mother has written, which states that no life-sustaining treatment is to be given. How are you going to proceed?  A practical guide on how to approach the legal and ethical dilemmas that frequently occur in hospital wards and medicine in the community, 100 Cases in Clinical Ethics and Law explores typical dilemmas through the use of 100 common medical scenarios. The book covers issues such as consent, capacity, withdrawal of treatment and confidentiality, as well as less-frequently examined problems like student involvement in internal examinations, whistle-blowing and the role of medical indemnity providers in complaints.  Each scenario has a practical problem-solving element to it and encourages readers to explore their own beliefs and values, including those that arise as a result of differing cultural and religious backgrounds. Answer pages highlight key points in each case and provide advice on how to deal with the emotive issues that occur when practicing medicine, at the same time providing information and guidance on appropriate behavior.

100s of ideas to save you money - from basic economic survival to advanced power spending. In this book, we’re going to use the “B” word—B-U-D-G-E-T. We know that was painful, but hold on—don’t worry—we want to make budgeting fun. You heard us right—budgeting and fun in the same sentence. Stop laughing! We know the two words don’t usually go together but give us a chance. This book is about much more than budgeting—in fact, it is so much more! These pages are about what you do with your money—how you spend, save and use it more effectively. The pages of Power Spending are filled with money facts, money mistakes and money solutions, but best of all, with real people’s comments. We sent out surveys and you will find some of the responses to our questions on the last page of each chapter. These pages include our respondents’ ideas, recommendations and “tried and true” solutions for making money work. You’ll find even more of their great ideas on our website, http://PowerSpendingBook.com. We’ve divided the book into two sections. In the first section you’ll find some useful information about money basics—we refer to this as the basic economic survival part. In the second section you’ll find lots of ideas about how to spend money better—this is the part we refer to as advanced power spending. Before we go any further we need to let you know what this book is and what it isn’t. We’ll begin with this explanation. There are six areas of financial planning: cash management, risk management, investment planning, special needs planning, estate planning and tax planning. We will only cover the first area—cash management. If you need specific and individual help and advice in any of these areas we recommend that you work with a certified financial planner or other specialist. And just what does cash management cover? Net worth, cash flow, debt management and emergency planning, for example, but also the many different ways you use your money. We’ll go into more detail in the book—we don’t want to spoil the surprise!! So, what’s in it for you? That’s always the bottom line. We are offering you fun, facts and freedom! When you implement the strategies that we provide in this book, you’ll make better money decisions; you’ll be in control of your money—not the other way around. In fact, that’s how we came up with the title of our book, Power Spending: Getting More For Less. That’s our motto, and our goals for you are first, economic survival, and then economic prosperity!! This book shares President Lincoln’s philosophy: it is “of the people, by the people, for the people.” With that in mind we invite you to continue to share your great ideas with us. Let us know how you power spend by adding your comments at http://PowerSpendingBook.com. This book, and our website, are meant to be resources that are current and up-to-date and that will continue to provide you with the best “true blue, tried and tested, real life” ways to use your money better. Each chapter includes sidebars (placed at the end of each chapter in the Kindle version) that will bring some added insight to the topic. We’ve gathered financial statistics, more detailed examples or explanations (of the text material) and words of wisdom. We know you'll love the conversational tone and excellent tips that Power Spending gives - and we'd love to hear from you after you read it.

Increasingly digital technologies are used in healthcare. This book explores eight digital health technologies, situated the context of a life span, from high throughput genomic sequencing technologies and DIY insulin delivery for diabetes management in paediatrics, to the use of robotic care assistants for older adults and digital advance care decisions. A scene setting case scenario at the start of each chapter describes the digital technology and identifies the, sometimes competing, interests of the key stakeholders. Broad themes of resource allocation, access to technologies, informed consent, privacy of health data and ethical concerns are considered in context, alongside analysis of legal duties owed by healthcare professionals to act in their patients' best interests. This book addresses legal and ethical issues arising from the use of emerging digital health technologies and is of interest to academics, clinicians and regulators and anyone interested in the development of health technologies and the challenges they may present. It focusses on the Australian legal framework, with some comparison to other jurisdictions.

A 30-year-old Polish lady is admitted in labour. This is her first pregnancy and she is full term. She is in a lot of pain, her liquor is stained with meconium and the trace of her baby's heart is classified as pathological. Her grasp of English is limited. You have been asked to obtain her consent for a caesarean section… 100 Cases in Clinical Ethics and Law explores legal and ethical dilemmas through 100 clinical scenarios typical of those encountered by medical students and junior doctors in the emergency or outpatient department, on the ward or in the community setting. Covering issues such as consent, capacity, withdrawal of treatment, confidentiality and whistle-blowing, each scenario has a practical problem-solving element, encouraging readers to explore their own beliefs and values including those that arise as a result of differing cultural and religious backgrounds. Answer pages highlight key points in each case, providing advice on how to deal with the emotive issues that occur when practising medicine and guidance on appropriate behaviour. Making speedy and appropriate decisions, and choosing the best course of action to take as a result, is one of the most important and challenging parts of training to become a doctor. These true-to-life cases will teach students and junior doctors to recognize ethical and legal dilemmas as they arise, and to respond appropriately.

The end of empire, a romantic story and the social life and culture of an elite British colony -- these are the fascinating themes to emerge from this unique collection of letters and diary entries. It is an inside story of Northern Nigeria's independence and of a clash of cultures. Tim Johnston's background was rich in imperial tradition and, after Oxford, he joined the British Colonial Service in Northern Nigeria. Berrice was from a very different background -- a broken home and work in a dress-shop at the age of 14. War service provided a powerful and romantic link: Tim became a war hero and decorated fighter pilot, Berrice served in the ATS and they married in 1942. Tim Johnston returned to Northern Nigeria after the war, served his apprenticeship as a District Officer and rose to be Deputy Governor -- a vital role on the path to independence -- with Berrice expected to assume the role of 'senior wife' in the social life of the colony.Carolyn Johnston has woven together a delightful and revealing series of letters and diary entries from her parents which show the social tensions of colonial life and illuminate Northern Nigeria on the brink of independence.
