    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Asystole RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Excellent point! I believe that things that originate from the individual can be considered a basic human right but not when it takes the external intervention and allocation of resources. You have...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Asystole RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Granted, humans decide what basic human rights are, but a basic human right cannot be something given. Basic human rights are things that we are born with, things that are inherent in the human...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Asystole RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think the "every man for himself" statement is a little pejorative. I believe a more accurate statement would be that regardless of your socioeconomic status at birth, hard work and intelligent...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Asystole RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think we should provide universal healthcare. I think it might even be possible. I just do not think it is a basic human

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Asystole RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How can something be a basic human right when the exercise of that right requires the removal (even forceably) of resources from one group to

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Asystole RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, I really was hoping that the thread would be generally about human rights and healthcare and not just the Constitution. That link was a great find, thank you. I would disagree that a certain...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Asystole RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Does a human who does not live under a power have all the rights he was born with? If born on an island by yourself, do you not have the right to do whatever you want? Rights are things you are born...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Asystole RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are correct in that the Constitution is not an authority on human rights. The Constitution was designed to protect certain rights from infringements from the federal government, but not...

    Gifts vs. bribes...is there a line?

    Asystole RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    The legal difference between a gift and a bribe is very blurry, especially when providing services funded by the federal government, intent or not. In fact, the anti-kickback statutes make it illegal...

    Gifts vs. bribes...is there a line?

    Asystole RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, it is a tip. When you tip your waiter you give the "gift" after he has provided the service correct? When the attendant brings your bags to the room you give him a gift after the service...

    Gifts vs. bribes...is there a line?

    Asystole RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    A gift is a nice way to say tip. Accepting "gifts" creates a culture of tipping and thus insinuates that better service or care will be provided in the expectation of a

    Gifts vs. bribes...is there a line?

    Asystole RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    There are two types of gifts (or bribes) that can be of concern in healthcare. The first of which is a gift from a patient or their family. Regardless of the monetary value or nature of the gift, the...

    Is pulling a 200 lb patient different than lifting them

    Asystole RN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    A straight lift is the safest way to move weight. Sliding or pulling weight is about 1000 times more dangerous. Most warehouses and retail limit lifting to 30-50lb maximum. That is lifting, not...
