You are the director of pharmacy at a large regional medical
center. It has come to your attention that Dr. Smith, a hospital
oncologist, has been prescribing medicines for cancer patients that
are not labeled for cancer treatment. While "off-label"
prescription is not against the law, you now recall a recent
interview Dr. Smith did on a radio talk show. During that interview
Dr. Smith talked about his discovery of the effectiveness of
green-tea, honey and homeopathic treatments for cancer patients.
Such a "holistic" approach to medicine has a certain appeal,
especially to patients who have received a poor prognosis. Many
cancer patients who were told they have only a few months to live
by their doctors have come to your hospital from hundreds of miles
away to be treated by Dr. Smith.
In addition to his work at your hospital, Dr. Smith owns and runs a
clinic located in a poor Mississippi Delta community. When your
hospital recently replaced its old outdated sterilizer machines,
Dr. Smith asked if he could have one of the old machines for use at
his clinic. Dr. Smith is well known and most of his patients like
him. Last year he received an award from a religious group for his
service to the poor. However, you know that Dr. Smith recently
divorced his third wife. Her lawyer, known for her aggressive style
and hard bargaining, won a huge alimony and support judgment worth
$3 million against Dr. Smith. Rumor is that Dr. Smith is struggling
financially, because he sold one of his sports cars.
How should you handle this situation? In your paper, be sure to
consider the responsibilities and interests of your department, as
well as the hospital. Include the issues of insurance
reimbursement, standard of care, informed consent, public image of
the hospital, and Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement. Are there other
legal issues? Are there other moral or ethical issues?

You are to write an essay, including an introduction and
conclusion, using the sections
below as a guide with a word count of 1250 words (+/-
10%).
Case Study
Andrew is a 69 year old gentleman of Italian heritage, who has come
into hospital for a
below knee amputation due to complications from his Type 2 Diabetes
(18 years post
diagnosis). He is retired and lives with his wife of 40 years and
his daughter, son in law
and their three young children in a three bedroom house in the
outer suburbs of
Sydney. He has failing eyesight and has not had a job for the past
15 years due to his
health problems. He is currently taking medication to help manage
his blood sugar
(Metformin), however his blood sugars continue to be very high.
Andrew does not like
taking his medication as he finds it expensive and does not believe
it helps him maintain
his blood sugars within a healthy range. He believes there is
nothing he can do to
manage his blood sugar levels and that the amputation was a natural
progression of the
disease state. He infrequently takes his blood sugars, and does not
see the point in
attending frequent doctor appointments again due to the cost.
Andrew’s son in law is the only one who brings an income into his
household, and this
must support Andrew, Andrew’s wife, his daughter and their
children. With limited
resources, it is important that Andrew keeps his medical bills as
low as possible. The
family does enjoy spending time together and enjoy celebrating and
connecting over
meals. His son-in-law usually joins Andrew in an evening after the
family meal to drink
wine and smoke cigars. Both men find this an important time to
connect and relax after
a long day. Andrew socialises very infrequently with anyone else
outside of his family,
as his failing health and eyesight prevents him from being able to
drive anymore.
