Question by Cynthesizer: Why is alcoholism considered a disease?
Doesn’t it still require some “choice” to become an alcoholic? People who are genetically predicted to become alcoholics (such as myself) don’t always become alcoholics. What makes us different from those who do? Choice.

I’m not saying it’s easy or something to take lightly. I don’t when people just tell alcoholics to stop drinking because I know it doesn’t work like that. But just becomes it’s hard to overcome doesn’t mean it’s impossible. It doesn’t take therapy and willpower to overcome other diseases. Most aren’t self inflicted, at least to the extent that alcoholism is.

I found this quote identifying it as a disease: “In 1956, the American Medical Association officially said alcoholism met three standard criteria for being declared a disease. First, it had an identifiable set of symptoms. Second, it followed a predictable and malignant progression if not treated, and third, it did respond to treatment.” But this seems very vague and I bet a lot of addictions/disorders could fit this descriptions yet aren’t labeled a disease.    Read more...

Question by ellyrooroo: Ethics Help, please??
Hi there, I just need a little help with 2 scenarios and the questions.

•A Physician assistant in a medical practice with several physicians contacts his professional association, the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA), to report that one of his employing physicians often recommends chiropractic treatment for patients with persistent back pain issues that have resisted medical solutions. The PA knows it is legal to refer a patient for chiropractic treatments, but he adamantly opposes the practice, considering it “bogus medicine.” The physician declines to discuss the matter.

In your opinion, how might the situation be resolved?
Is it ethical for the PA to continue working for the physician when their opinions differ so widely on this issue?

•A registered nurse calls her professional organization’s ethics consultant to ask for resources she can present to her employing medical clinic to support her intention to quit working with a physician she feels is providing sloppy and possibly dangerous care.    Read more...

Question by teepetlhw: Can you help me understand these Japanese insurance terms?
I will be studying in Japan this summer, but not long enough to warrant a student visa or international student eligibility for Japan’s National Health Insurance, so I’m required to get my own health insurance that covers 15 million yen in “Injury Death” and 5 million yen in “Injury Treatment”, “Sickness Death”, “Sickness Treatment”, and “Rescuers Expense”.
These terms don’t match up to any policy I can find.
I can find things like Lifetime Maximum Benefits, Pregnancy Coverage, Policy Year Maximum Benefits, Basic Medical, Supplemental Major Medical, Fees for Diagnosis/Treatment, Hospital Charges, Laboratory/Diagnostic/X-ray, Outpatient Prescription Drugs, Durable Medical Equipment, Hospital Room & Board, Intensive Care, Mental Disorders, Drug/Alcohol Abuse, Motor Vehicle Accident, Ground Ambulance, Injuries to Sound Teeth, Accidental Death & Dismemberment, Medical Evacuation and Repatriation of Remains.
It seems like “Accidential Death and Dismemberment” oughta be what covers both “Injury Death” and “Sickness Death”, but I can’t find anything anywhere close to 15 mill yen (about $ 150,000 usd), so I’m thinking maybe they lump in some other stuff like repatriation and hospital fees, but I’d like to see some actual definitions.
“thecheapest”‘s answer gave a common sense explanation for what the terms might be, which doesn’t really help. I have common sense. I’d like a translation of these Japanese benefit terms to American benefit terms like the ones I listed in the paragraph that starts with “I can find things like…”    Read more...
