The late Eleanor Roosevelt once said no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Hello, and good morning I am Colin Sumner, from the Leegan, Leegan, & Leegan law firm. Today you will hear from me while representing the plaintiff Bailey Kissner. Today you will hear the tragic story of a dream. Not one like Martin Luther King Jr. had and that died when he was assassinated; but a regular one. Imagine all of your dreams shased. Imagine all of your possible winning and awards taken from you, not from a bank, but from a man. A man with one tire iron and who was mentally unstable. Martin Dutcher, a highschool teacher who was diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder or IED was this dream snatcher. But he was not the one whose fault this is Polk psychiatric hospital …show more content…
Today you will hear from Dr. Avery James who resigned because of he felt that by working at such an installation was morally corrupt. To paraphrase what Bob Dylan once said that, people very rarely do what they believe in, they do what is convenient then repent. Today you will hear that story of Polk Psychiatric Hospital doing what was convenient. It was convenient financially, and personally. To get rid of a paint with a rare disease. Today as the planktic we must present you with the facts bearing the burden of proof. In this trial as the judge will explain to you must only find the odds 49 to 51%. Will show you three other things that the judge will explain to you. The first is breathing, we will show you that Polk breached their obligation to society by releasing Martin Dutcher. The next topic is duty, the fact that Polk did not uphold their duty to society by releasing Martin Dutcher. Bailey Kissner never gave their consent just like anyone else who had their dreams shamed. But Polk Psychiatric Hospital didn't give him the opportunity to say that he will consent so now we are here. This trial is more than a corrupt penny-pinching hospital and someone golf
Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, thank you for your attention today. [Slide #2] I would like to assert that separation is not the end of a relationship.

As time goes on, the law has put more emphasis on facility just like Bridgewater State Hospital in which many of the actions of the facility workers can face legal consequences such as facing prison time, fines, lawsuits, and etc. Society has a better understanding of why certain people act the way that they do and being more knowledgeable about psychology and mental diseases allows us to have a different approach when dealing with these topics or these individuals. In today’s era, there are many normal individuals who are willing to stand up for those who do not have a voice of their own. I believe that this change in one’s ability to stand up for another individual or group of individuals is what brought about change to the medical environment of those who are mentally

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, African Americans are more likely to be incarcerated compared to any other major ethnic groups (2010). One of the crucial problems or challenges experienced within prison is the need to provide appropriate mental health treatment services for the applicable diagnosis (U.S. Department of Justice 2011). However, these diagnoses are often skewed or directly influenced by race or an inmate’s racial background forming stigmas toward seeking out treatment among the other inmates. Stigma and race correlated with mental health diagnosis in a penitentiary or correctional facility continues to be a prevalent or widespread obstacle that leads to negative attitudes about mental treatment and ultimately deterring individuals who need services from seeking medical or psychiatric care.

They proceed to grasp the reader’s attention by illustrating the attorney’s displeasure and sensitivity as displayed by “It’s a horrible thing that Andrew D. Young had to go through,” and it’s not for the public to see that” (.53) This strategy of
The Supreme Court allowed the execution of an inmate, who can’t remember the 1985 murder that sent him to death row. The court decision was unanimous and there were no noted dissents. The inmate, Vernon Maddison was sentenced for killing Julius Schlute who was a police officer responding to a domestic call. Vernon shot him twice in the back of the head. As the execution came closer and closer, Mr. Madison asked the court to cancel his death sentence. He wanted it to be canceled because he said he could not remember what he had done. A psychologist hired by Madison’s lawyers agreed that he understood what he was accused of, and how the state planned to punish him. Mr. Maddison said he understood his crime was wrong and he should be punished, but he just could not remember what he did and for this reason he thought he should not be executed. The court said “He is legally blind.His speech is
As of now, there is no general consensus that would require states to cover mental health (Cauchi, Landess, & Thangasamy 2011). Out of the 49 states that do cover mental illness, there are three main categories that vary considerably; mental health “parity” or equal coverage laws, minimum mandated mental health benefit laws, and mental health “mandated offering laws.” Mental illness is as serious a condition as any other health condition. It should be covered as such. Mental health parity has come a long way over the years. With health care reform underway, this issue is bound to come up. Hopefully the reform can enact a program that will lead to more mental health parity.
The PICO question for this research topic is, in psychiatric patients boarding in the emergency room how does having a therapeutic environment affect the amount of times that restraints are used. This topic of if having a therapeutic environment for psychiatric patients that are boarding in the emergency room decreases the use of restraints is vital in nursing and in the care of the patients. The fewer times restraints need to be used the better the patient’s experience is in the emergency room and the less likely the staff members could get hurt. Using physical and chemical restraints are of last resort. These two interventions can be traumatic for the patient and the staff members. That being said, if implemented a therapeutic environment for the patient will decrease the use of these interventions, it is something that
