Values And Beliefs

The world’s increasing diversity requires health care professionals to adjust delivery methods of teaching to accommodate different cultural values and beliefs. The ability to communicate effectively across languages and various cultural practices directly affects patient education outcomes. Pharmacist should be aware of varying modalities and considerations when counseling a patient diagnosed with cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. In more recent years, the medical profession has seen an increase in patient outcomes due to using the multidisciplinary team approach and has benefited by implementing Medication Therapy Management (MTM) programs at various institutions. For the clinical pharmacist, this would mean documentation for these services should be precise and accurate based on the specific patients needs. There are several factors involved in the care and therapy of the patient with cancer. Clinical oncology pharmacist should be aware of the ever-changing role in oncology and be able to implement new practices at their facility for better patient outcomes.

Right To Health Care

Abstract Background Legal consciousness theory acknowledges the known gap between law in writing and law in its everyday practical application in society. Limited research has explored legal consciousness in medical contexts, and limited knowledge exists surrounding how the intrusion of law in medical authority impacts applied medical ethics. Conflicts between law and medical ethics can be saliently observed in Sweden, where current law forcibly places physicians in a gatekeeper role in satisfying undocumented migrants' right to health care access, relying on physicians' assessments of whether patients without legal residency status should be provided 'care that cannot be deferred'. Methods In this context, the present phenomenological study sought to explore how legal terminology is experienced, understood, and applied by physicians, contextualising the perceived meaning ascribed to the imposed gatekeeper role. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 42 physicians from five major Swedish hospitals, and analysed through the lens of legal consciousness theory. Results Participants actively rejected law by taking a firm, and often collective, stance against its intrusion in their work. Rejection of law was constructed through: rejecting legal hegemony and government imposed non-medical responsibilities; perceiving professional authority and medical ethics as empowering; considering repercussions of legal non-compliance unthreatening; believing increased legal knowledge would not influence their professions' foundational role. Conclusions The study produced novel findings, contributing to the limited body of work exploring legal consciousness in medicine. Regardless of legal knowledge held, when law conflicted with foundational medical ethics, the intrusion of law in the medical profession lead to the explicit rejection of law. Findings accent the need for laws addressing healthcare access to be compatible with foundational medical ethics and principles of non-discrimination.

Positive Account

As we debate the nature and extent of patient responsibility it is important to keep in mind the reasons for giving a relatively minimal role to patient responsibility in medical ethics. It is argued that the medical profession ought to be characterized by two moral asymmetries: even if some degree of responsible behavior from patients is called for, placing the dominant emphasis on pro- fessional responsibility over patient responsibility is largely correct; insofar as we do want to encourage an increase in patient re- sponsibility, we have good reasons to emphasize prospective rather than retrospective notions of responsibility in clinical practice. Concerns about patient vulnerability along with the determined factors in disease leave little room for blame at the bedside. These two asymmetries generate normative limits on any positive account of patient responsibility.
