Ethical Dilemmas in Healthcare

Ethically Dilemmas is a real concern especially in health care due to the amount of serious information healthcare workers have access to it’s extremely important to keep all the information sellers and not out their floating around to get into the wrong hands it takes one wrong chain of events and patients information could be spread out in the world to the wrong people, Patients for this reason are scared when giving out certain information at the doctors office or hospital because the paper work ask for detailed information about the patient like for example their social security number that number is their life line if that gets out someone could do drowned under their name start portraying as that person and mess that persons life up just due to health care providers not abiding by the laws put in place to keep patients safe from harm, Ethics is the number one rule of healthcare because you must follow and a-bid by the policies put in place by the hospital in which the provider is working most hospitals might have the same policy some might not how we we it’s very impart as a health care worker to read that policy and read it for understanding so you don’t get out in a situation where your ethics as a provider is questioned and up for review causing you to maybe lose your job, possibly suspension, or fired depending on the level of breach the care giver has done.There is many ways over the years hospitals have set their standards so that there are no breaches in ethics like how they sign in and out patients who talks to the patient about certain things who is able to collect certain items or information on a patient.

Liberia’s COVID-19 Numbers 

In Liberia, as of June 2nd, their cases are scarce compared to the rest of the globe. As opposed to the whopping 33 million of the United States, Liberia harbours a small 2,219 with 2,044 deaths and 86 recovered. Though this country’s mask mandates aren’t as strict as other parts of the world with considerably more people at risk, this small violence-ridden country handles it well. Considering this country’s pattern of violence and aggrieved behaviour when opposed to a country-wide mandate, there suprisingly hasn’t been many documented cases of outrage; the precautions the government has taken is similar to that of Western countries. Positive cases are confined to quarantine in government facilities, the Ministry of Health has initiated a domestic restriction law nationwide, and public gatherings are allowed though they have to be held under strict health protocols. There are restrictions on building capacity as well. 

Compared to the Right-Wing supporters of the United States that have previously outraged against the mandates, the Liberian citizens have taken the recommendations with a grain of salt and have adhered to it.

Process of Progress

I am three weeks into the process of creating and working on this capstone. It has been filled with numerous unproductive days in the studio despite having an idea of what I should be doing. I know that I need to work but something is holding me back. There have been small developments, but not a lot. I’ve been curious about how to push myself in the right direction during my time that I desperately wanted for this project.

Alice Blumenfeld wrote an article with 9 steps to being productive in the studio. I think I’ve always known that setting a goal for the time I have has been a priority, but it’s something I’ve always struggled to set. I’ve noticed that having a concrete goal, such as ’45 minutes of video of improv’ has really fueled a lot more productivity and time usage. Taking time to warm seems boring-but it is helpful to focus. I like to put on some ambience or some major workout jams, there is no in between, to get started. I need to remember to work slowly; this is my time and allow myself to take time for each thing, one step at a time.  I record myself as much as I can. I recently found all of the parts to my camera tripod and look forward to experimenting with having a large amount of rehearsal footage.

How have I stayed productive?

Only during the past week have I found a flow that I feel is productive. Mentioned above, I use recordings and work to focus beforehand. I also use a journal to keep track of the process and productivity, if a little sporadically. I think keeping in mind that I can push myself and work slowly will help creativity over the next few weeks as I create.

Journaling is difficult for me. It may be one of the best ways to stay productive, but the practice is difficult to stick with. Having this capstone blog has really helped the process of journaling, but I want to be more reflective overall. Kirsten Pilz runs a blog on writing and wrote a blog in 2017 titled ‘How to start a regular journaling practice’. When I came across it, I realized that this was exactly what I needed. Maybe. She has several tips, first and foremost deciding if a pen or keyboard is most beneficial to you. I prefer having a pen but editing with keyboard for these blogs is incredibly helpful and much faster. I really liked the idea of having a dedicated space and little ceremony to journaling. This would really create a habit. I have to remember that not each journal has to be deep and meaningful; it can be a documentation of action or step, a simple brain dump.

I really think journaling and improvisation are closely related. Both are helpful for the creation of an art, and a place to start. Having a space for each, a time limit and prompts are key aspects to starting and ways to work the stream of consciousness to interesting places that can become amazing works.

Do I Journal?

I do journal, in a way. I’m working on that daily practice; I’ve noticed though that forcing myself isn’t helpful, and letting the words flow when I feel like it works best post rehearsal and working through movement. I like to think of this blog as a form of journaling, and a very helpful way to find that practice that would help me in the future.

How does this relate?

I need reminders. I love reminders. Reading through these articles and posts are comforting to me. Having personal thoughts confirmed as solid ideas for practice makes me feel valid. I would love to stop looking for validation, but when it comes to academic processes and progress, I need these stepping stones of articles.

The guy we rescued is from Switzerland. His name is Victor Frankenstein, and he seems to have had a pretty spoiled childhood. His mother, before her untimely passing, gave him a person! She literally found a poor girl and thought, “wow, she’s pretty. I’ll give her to my son as a gift.” I don’t know about you, but to me that seems pretty sketch. Not that I’m judging; to each their own and all that, but imagine receiving a person as a gift. I have to admit though, she was pretty.

FanFiction Reader and Rogue One

In the introduction to her book The Fanfiction Reader, Francesca Coppa writes:

“A movie like The Avengers has to be successful across the globe, with international audiences and translated into multiple languages; a fanfiction story might be written as a gift for just one other person.  If mass media is an industrial and global product, fanfiction is the opposite:  handmade—often custom made—and local (13).”

She writes this as a way of furthering her argument that “fanfiction is speculative fiction about character rather than about the world” (12).  While it is difficult to argue against the idea that fanfiction focuses more on character than world building—this is certainly the case in the Rogue One and R*belcaptain fandoms—it is equally difficult to push fanfiction into the purely local space.  Declaring fanfiction as to be purely local and juxtaposing it against the point that blockbuster films are translated into multiple languages shortchanges the abilities of fanfiction, I think.  Multiple pieces of fanfiction within our fandom have been translated into different languages.  We have lots of writers in our fandom request Spanish and/or Mandarin translations of their works, and there exist working partnerships across multiple fandoms that achieve this.  Further, there have been efforts in the R*belcaptain fandom, in particular, to reach beyond the local space with a fan-writing group aiming to write a R*belcaptain Food Travel Series in which fanfiction writers from multiple countries each write a chapter set in their own country.  These chapters together will create a transnational story that exceeds the purely local.
