Reviewing Whitaker's Anatomy of an Epidemic.
Medical Concept Robert Whitaker wrote the book called “The Anatomy of an Epidemic.” The book addresses the challenges concerning the medical model of mental health diagnosis and treatment. Whitaker outlined the history of the psychopharmacology era. He wrote that the government and early researchers tried to find a magic bullet to cure mental illness. In this journey, they found many misdiagnoses and discrepancies. He found that early researchers and pharmaceutical companies misguided the public about medication; that is, he found test results being misconstrued. For example, Whitaker found that there is no evidence that brain dysfunction is the reason for mental illness. Whitaker explains that research has proven that some medication blocked the neurotransmitter thus causing the mental illness rather than curing the mental illness. He focuses on military recruitment efforts and how the government influenced the mental health industry. His book explains the history of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM III) from the American Psychiatric Association and how it came about to establish the industry of psychiatry. Whitaker argues that the DSM III saved the industry by clearly outlining the symptoms from professionals' observation. Even though there was no definite cause of mental illness, the DSM III verified that it exists and should be known.

No, You Are Not Entitled To A Refund Of Your Prescription Drugs.
I recently had to consult a doctor for an infection derived from an ingrown toenail. It was sore, throbbing and painful — all the classic signs of an acute inflammatory reaction right there. I just wanted to ensure that there weren’t any other complications or broken toenail bits to be forcibly removed, ya know.

Chasing Zero's
Since 1999 more than 100,000 American’s die every year due to medical harm. This number quickly doubles if you include hospital incurred infections. The goal of Chasing zero’s is simple, to bring deaths due to medical error to zero. Medical errors can ultimately be prevented if taken seriously. Safety of the patient is and should be our top priority as medical staff. How has safety changed over the years? It begins with the last 10-12 years of talking about safety, but not actually doing anything to implement it. As of more recently things have been implemented in order to protect the safety of our patients. These include the empowerment of staff members, a check list, and new technology. These three things if taken into consideration and implemented by the healthcare systems could change the safety of patients all over America.

Racism in Healthcare in the United States of Amerikkka
An issue that I have wanted to speak on for years. A silent problem that people of color deal with, affecting their care. Now that health care is trending, the time is now. We have openly talked about police brutality for months, rightfully so. However, during the middle of a pandemic, health care officials are faced with decisions. Would you trust your provider to make the best decision for you? Speaking from the perspective of a black woman who has worked in health care, along with receiving care, my opinions are from experience. While I was pregnant with my youngest son back in 2018, I ended up with heart palpations towards the end of my second trimester.
