Fetal Misconception...you dont really hear much of it, but it's kind of becoming a big problem for financially challenged countries.

Vaccines seem to be a big one these days as far as patients right to refuse regardless of the pros.

If it doesn't have to be a current controversy, look into the Tuskegee Syphilis experiment...its really interesting.

Allowing families to be present during CPR

...and if you do choose vaccine. Be sure to check out the FrontLine documentary. It was fairly interesting, I felt like.

Thank You All For Your Input......... I Actually Thought About Doing It On Flu Shots??? What do U Think any Feedback would be good also thought about the doing it on Terri Schiavo, Case In Florida where She Had MI and ended up on Tube Feed..... Not Really Sure If It's More Emotional than Medical Controversy?? Thank You All For All Your Input!!!!!! I Really appreciate it.........

what is your opinion on the Terri Schiavo Case...One In Florida.. or is more emotional than anything?

[~Mi Vida Loca~RN, ASN, RN]

Honestly, I wouldn't do the common things like Vaccines, those things are done to death. I am about to be done with school and we have done a LOT of presentations in our program. It's so boring in brutal to watch when you see the same common topics being done and you can tell the teachers feel the same way.

Think outside the box and explore things you don't see or hear about often.

Meh-don't do Terri schaivo. Be more creative and original than that.

How about treatment of illegal immigrants?

[Certifiable, BSN, RN]

What about people that are willing to accept an organ donation, but refuse in principle to be a donor... (I think it's mostly because of a religious issue) but very interesting.... who says that those people should receive an organ? the hypocratic oath Vs the hypocrit (catchy title;))

look into the cost of treating mental illness and then research how little Medicare/Medicaid cover these illnesses or how hard it is to find someone to care for them. We have people come into ER who really need to be in a MH facility but there is no room. They stay in hospital for non-medical reasons for days until an appropriate facility is able to transport them.
