Obstetrician And Gynecologist (OB/GYN)

In the 1970s, the supreme court made a momentous controversial decision, determining that the death of a placenta is decided by the child carrier. Due to this decision abortion seemed like a way to get rid of unexpected pregnancy, determining whether you have a disabled child or not, and much more. During this time, a nurse named Sallie Tisdale wrote the essay “We do Abortions Here: A nurse Story” which is based on her own personal experience in the world of medicine. Sallie uses many emotional techniques to evoke a response from her audience, yet Sallie never lets the readers know her side to this issue by addressing both sides equally. In this essay, Sally explains the emotions and thoughts she experiences working as a nurse in an abortion clinic, showing her dual side perspective in the process. Sally argues on two sides, “Pro-life” and “Pro-Choice”, she speaks about both sides evenly to allow the audience to make a choice with no external bias.

There are numerous morally sensitive issues affecting advanced practice. Since I am completing my women’s health rotation, morally sensitive subjects in this area include elective abortions, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, and teenage pregnancy. During my rotation, I did not encounter any of these morally sensitive issues; however these issues affect advanced practice because NPs are mandated reporters and would have to report signs or suspicions of any kind of abuse on children, the elderly or the disabled. Also, NPs should act as educators, educating patients on safe sex practices and preventing unwanted pregnancies. In the event that a teenager becomes pregnant or a patient request an abortion, NPs need to act with compassion and be non-judgmental

Mid-South Women’s Health Center considers the ethical aspects of issues that impact the discipline of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women’s Health. This document represents the results of carefully researched and considered discussion. This material is intended to provide material for consideration and debate about these ethical aspects of our discipline for member organizations and their constituent membership.

The impact is that patients are stigmatized. There are fears that women who want to abort could soon find it difficult to find providers who can assist them. Due to the fact that the issue of abortion is emotive, the society stigmatizes women who seek abortion and doctors who offer it. Such negative atmosphere is likely to deter the provision of reproductive health services. This presents a major dilemma for the nursing professionals (Lopez, 2012).

On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court, on the case of Roe v Wade, ruled to legalize abortion in all fifty US states. Forty two years after this decision, approximately 56 million abortions have been performed in the US alone and this number continues to climb drastically day to day. For some individuals, this number is simply not enough. For example, in her article, It Is Time to Integrate Abortion into Primary Care, Susan Yanow argues the case that abortion is here to stay. With this observation, she further believes that the procedure should be made more available to all women, and likewise, any physician should be easily allowed to perform abortions.

Throughout the United States there has always been a big debate on whether or not abortion is ethically acceptable or not. Though many individuals see it as killing a child, many others can overlook that burden and see the consequences of having a child at that point in time. Individuals who are put in a pregnancy situation and have to look into all aspects of an abortion and the reasons for this procedure, while also realizing the biological development of the fetus, and the process of an abortion.

Abortion policy has been shifting throughout American history as American views have simultaneously transitioned from more conservative to more liberal. Doctors, specifically regular physicians, have surprisingly guided the discussion surrounding abortion in the most influential way. Their power, in particular, their medical expertise, has allowed them to take hold of the issue and push against abortion from a medical stance. As a result of the change in traditionalistic views, the power the doctors held for a long time was taken by women, and abortion simultaneously became not an issue of health, but one questioning morality as well as a woman’s right to choose: pro-life and pro-choice. In America, abortion policy has transitioned from an issue of health and morality to one of women’s rights over time due to the power shifting from doctors to women as a result of modernization and the change in how Americans saw religion; this shift in turn impacting how the abortion issue’s sides are defined and how the issue is argued.

The career that I have chosen to pursue in less than ten years is an Obstetrician and Gynecologist. Obstetrician is specialized with pregnancy and labor. They prepare their patients for childbirth and observe their health while being pregnant. Gynecologist specializes in female reproductive system. Gynecologists also diagnose and nurse diseases and disorders. Both careers go hand in hand. Thus, an Ob/Gyn provides medical and surgical care to pregnant women. An Ob/Gyns job is extremely remarkable. They undergo multiple steps before being able to practice in that field of area. People don’t identify the job they perform and how much they are depended on my millions of people.

Eric Hoffer once said, “One of the marks of a truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action - the ability to pass directly from thought to action.” The reason someone would pick this occupation is because they feel that giving a person or family a chance of hope to have a child is extraordinary and give women a chance to have full control and knowledge of what 's going on inside of their bodies. And how they will endure spontaneous and thrillful days. The career of an Ob/Gyn is a thrilling and exciting career because one will never have a dull moment. This research will describe the career of Ob/Gyn what is required to become a successful Ob/Gyn, and the impact this career has on society.

The abortion care model served as a conceptual framework for the overall intervention. For this program, healthcare providers as conducting counseling activities in community, helping participants access safe abortion care within the community and the healthcare system. The theoretical foundation of this program combined several theories, including the health belief model, social cognitive theory, and social networks and social support. Practical strategies that will be applied to this program will be workshop activity and the primary participant for this toolkit are health-care providers, trainers, health system officials and technical advisors of abortion care programs and

In the cramped backseat of the car, my friends and I quizzed each other with pharmacology questions. We were on our way to Atlanta for the Medical Students for Choice national conference. The next morning I walked into the large conference room. The keynote speaker, Dr. Willie Parker, now one of my heroes, began to speak. His passion was palpable, as were all the other abortion providers I met that day. They shared the challenges they face in providing this care, but also the intangible rewards that comes from helping these women when no one else could or would. I did not know it yet, but that would be the weekend I decided to become an Ob-Gyn.

Statement of Problem: Abortion is defined as the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. Today, especially here in the United States of America, there is a growing issue and debate around the idea of abortion. There is a stigma against abortion because of the possibility of negative religious, political, medical, emotional, and mental consequences it may cause. Each year, worldwide there is an estimated 42 billion abortions that take place. This number does not include abortions that are not performed by professionals. The big issue alongside with abortion itself, is the affects it has on the mental health of females who undergo the procedure.

Abortion is a highly-debated topic of whether it is ethical for a woman to decide to have one. Abortion is any of various surgical methods for deliberately terminating a pregnancy. When we speak of abortion today, we mean induced abortion performed by trained doctors, not including miscarriage (MacKinnon & Fiala, 2015). Some current methods of abortion are morning-after pill, mifepristone, uterine or vacuum aspiration, dilation and curettage, saline solution, prostaglandin drugs, hysterotomy, and partial birth abortion. Abortion involves questions about rights, happiness, and well-being, as well as the status and value of human life. The people who think it is ethical to have an abortion stand on the Pro-choice side and the people who think it is unethical stand on the Pro-life side. The liberal view of abortion supports abortions and the conservative view opposes abortion. There are many legal, religious, and medical conflicts that are included in the debate over abortion. The arguments made from both sides help us better understand whether a woman should have an abortion.

In 2000, Frederica Mathewes-Green published “Unplanned Parenthood” in Policy Review, a conservative journal. In this article, Mathewes-Green stated that “[a]bortion is a tragic attempt to escape a desperate situation by an act of violence and self-loss,” and that society must make abortion its problem if it desires a decline in abortions anytime soon (Mathewes-Green 28). The first step to help women with their abortions is to “[provide them] with simple information about the risks of abortion and the availability of alternatives” (Mathewes-Green 30). With this step, society has a duty to inform a woman, prior to undergoing an abortion, that she may become a victim of some side effects associated with the procedure. That she may face infertility due to scraping from the suction tube or a weakened cervix that will not allow her to carry to full term. Not only must she be made aware of the risks, she must also know about the alternatives to abortion. In the United States, “there are approximately 3,500 pro-life agencies offering crisis pregnancy services” such as “shelter, medical care, counseling, maternity clothes, legal assistance, [and] other forms of aid” (Mathewes-Green 29). Most women are unaware of the choices they actually have since the rhetoric in mainstream media is always Pro-Life versus Pro-Choice without really delving into the choices that are available. The next step to help pregnant women is to increase the involvement of the child’s father. Nowadays, it is
