Heather Fisher lost nine liters of blood after she delivered her daughter Jasmine. It is a miracle that she survived. Heather had a high-risk pregnancy, and she was already at an increased risk for hemorrhaging because of her previous C-section scars. She went into labor at just 30 weeks pregnant. The doctors gave Heather drugs to slow down her contractions, but they had to perform an emergency C-section. During the C-section, scar tissue ruptured and she began to bleed excessively. Heather says she saw her baby after she delivered, but she does not remember much after that. Heather required blood transfusions, and it took the doctors and nurses four hours to stop the bleeding. They also had to use a cell saver machine. That is a machine

Melissa Barthelemy moved to the Long Island area in 2007 in order to start her own life. Over the two years that Melissa lived there, she was a prostitute and put ads for her service on Craigslist. She stayed close with her younger sister, Amanda, who still lived in Buffalo with their parents. Late on July 11, 2009, Melissa sent a text-message to her sister to confirm Amanda’s visit to see her in a couple days. During the day of July 12, 2009, a local bank had a recording of Melissa depositing one thousand dollars into her account, believed to be from a “date” she had the previous night. Before she left, she withdrew one hundred dollars. The last time that Melissa was seen alive was the afternoon of July 12, 2009 sitting outside her apartment
The University of Texas at Austin is a world renown school with an acceptance rate of 40.2% as of 2013. Abigail Fisher, a white woman from Texas, sued the University of Texas for racial discrimination in the university’s admission program. Ms. Fisher lost her district court case and the Fifth Circuit Case three to zero; but the Supreme Court accepted her appeal for another trial. Due to Ms. Fisher not being able to attend The University of Texas, she was accepted into Louisiana State University shortly after. At LSU, she filed the lawsuit against the University of Texas to prohibit the university to use race as a factor in the future admission process.
I would go for a targeted communication strategy to each of the different stakeholders. The first one will be to Jessica’s parents to re-explain the true nature of these unfortunate circumstances. I would explain to them the entire process and where we went wrong and apologize. I would also convey that the unfortunate circumstances were not specifically targeted at them but it was a bad lapse in the entire process and while we can help at this particular time with your daughter, we will reevaluate the entire process to ensure that nothing like that ever happens again. I would also inform them that from now on, to reflect the changing demographics in the area the hospital covers, the hospital will be offering language classes to all their staff to better communicate with people from different social and cultural
The case of Marci a 22-year-old female college student has several significant psychological, biological, social, and spiritual issues.
The underlying issues in both cases are racial discrimination. For Cheryl Boulden in the affirmative action case the issue is being “an African American woman among the good ol’ boys in Indiana.” She was recruited because of race and her permanent handicap was seen as an asset for a diversity program lacking any. Yet these qualities made her a target of racism. Susan Finn’s ethnic discrimination presents a dilemma of how to deal with a contract physician’s abusive behavior “toward Hispanics and female staff as well as patients” (Reeves, 2006, p. 79). While the issues of racial and gender discrimination is not unusual, the failure of these agencies to address multiple complaints is.

Terri Schiavo was 26 years old when she collapsed in her home and suffered acute hypoxia for several minutes. Slightly shy of a year after her injury, it was clinically determined that she was in a persistent vegetative state (Perry, Churchill, & Kirshner, 2005). There were no legal documents, such as an advance directive or living will, specifying the wishes for care under such circumstances. Her husband, Michael Schiavo, was designated as her legal guardian. The Schiavo case caught the public’s attention when her husband elected to remove her feeding tube in the mid 1900’s. He understood that there has never been a case of recovery after a year of being in a persistent vegetative state. One of the moral issues surrounding the case centered on the appropriateness of removing the life-sustaining feeding tube or maintaining it. Throughout the case, there has

Court documents revealed, “Daniel was surrounded by trusted co-workers, so when she began bleeding profusely, her cadre jumped to, immediately administering drugs to stanch the flow. Daniel had lost about 1 ½ quarts of blood — three times the average during birth and about one-third the body 's volume” (Kime, 2016). It was also revealed in the court documents that an obstetrician was called in to take the case from the labor and delivery doctor. A blood transfusion was ordered, however, it was 90 minutes later than what is standard by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists as a potential lifesaving measure. It was entirely too late for a blood transfusion but the team proceeded, only to realize all of her body systems were failing. Daniel’s heart went into an extreme tachycardia and then straight into asystole, and no CPR efforts were able to revive her.
