Explain why the arrangement of the abdominal muscles conveys added strength to the abdominal wall.
lukranit [14]

The arrangement of the abdominal muscles conveys strength to the abdominal wall because of its arrangement into layers.

The abdominal wall is composed of the muscles and structures that cover the abdominal cavity. The muscles of this zone are divided according to their location. This includes:

  • Internal and external abdominal oblique
  • Transversus muscle
  • Rectus muscle
  • Pyramidalis muscle

All of these structures are arranged into layers, in this way some of these muscles can be found at a deeper level than others. This particular arrangement makes the abdominal wall to be very strong as different layers of muscles pile up.

Surgery is a crime,why is this a crime?
mestny [16]

Answer:

Medical malpractice is sometimes a broad category of several types of actions. In some situations, healthcare fraud is considered to be medical malpractice. Usually these crimes involve actions of medical professionals using medical procedures to fill their pockets. Thousands of medical procedures each year are performed by various healthcare providers that are unnecessary and often not related to the issue the patient has. These unneeded procedures are often performed because insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid and even private insurance businesses pay the healthcare facility for longer visits and extra care for patients who need treatment that helps prevent surgery complications. A new study published in the Chicago Tribune explained an analysis of records for over 34,000 patients with surgical procedures in 2010 at one of twelve specific hospitals run by Texas Health Resources. Of these, over 1,800 had at least one complication that was preventable. These complications led to a quadrupled length of stay at the facility to up to fourteen days increasing the revenue of the hospital to a little over $30,000 average additional costs.

For some physicians, these unneeded procedures were due to improper or inadequate training. These situations may not be considered fraud. However, if the surgical procedures were due to the fraudulent circumstances the Chicago Tribune discovered, both the healthcare facility and any participating physicians may be guilty of fraud. Criminal charges would be added to civil medical malpractice liable actions.
