Allison has asked her doctor to prescribe a "morning after" pill to prevent a pregnancy. Her doctor, Dr. Williams, tells her tha

t he cannot prescribe the pill, which has the ability to abort a pregnancy, based on his own moral beliefs. Allison tells his medical assistant, Amy, that she thinks it is wrong of Dr. Williams to impose his religious beliefs upon his patients. She says that he should not have become a physician if he could not separate his personal values from patient care.
In your opinion, what should Amy say to the patient?
What is her role as an allied health professional?
Should Dr. Williams let his patients know what his religious beliefs are when they are fist seen by the practice?
Is there an ethical or legal problem with Dr. Williams' action?

(This is only my opinion by the way, so you can change anything you want)
I think that Amy should stay out of it personally, but find a way to report the doctor for bringing his religious beliefs into his MEDICAL job. It seems like it would be her responsibility as a proffesional to make sure the patient gets to do what she thinks is right. Dr. Williams shouldn't have to tell his patients about his religious beliefs, because it shouldn't matter in a MEDICAL practice. There is both an ethical and legal problem with his action. A patient should get to make their own choices unless they want to endanger themsleves or others. That is wrong ethically that he took away someone's control over that choice. Opinions and beliefs shouldn't come into this kind of thing. Legally, it is wrong for the same reason. He has no right to do that unless someone's health is at risk.

Answer:

Esophagoscopy

Explanation:

According to my research on different veterinary procedures, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the veterinary is most likely to perform an Esophagoscopy. This is a procedure where the veterinary inserts a flexible endoscope in the mouth of the dog and guides it down to the esophagus. This device then takes enhanced images and displays it on a screen for the veterinary to see. This allows them to investigate and hopefully find the ulcer that is causing this problem.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

What is the inter relationship between language and cognition across the lifespan
Gnom [1K]

Answer: The answer is...

Explanation: Language development has been correlated with specific changes in brain development. The aim of this paper is to analyze the linguistic-brain associations that occur from birth through senescence. Findings from the neuropsychological and neuroimaging literature are reviewed, and the relationship of language changes observable in human development and the corresponding brain maturation processes across age groups are examined. Two major dimensions of language development are highlighted: naming (considered a major measure of lexical knowledge) and verbal fluency (regarded as a major measure of language production ability). Developmental changes in the brain lateralization of language are discussed, emphasizing that in early life there is an increase in functional brain asymmetry for language, but that this asymmetry changes over time, and that changes in the volume of gray and white matter are age-sensitive. The effects of certain specific variables, such as gender, level of education, and bilingualism are also analyzed. General conclusions are presented and directions for future research are suggested.

All three bacterial species are gram negative. Gram negative bacteria tend to survive better in Internal cavities of the body as they do not have thick cell walls like gram positive bacteria, so tend to "dry out" in dryer conditions like on the skin.
