Question

As most people would, physicians will go where the money is. Dr. Jones has determined he can make more money providing services in an ambulatory surgical center (ASC), i.e., an unregulated outpatient vascular surgical procedures center than he can in a highly regulated hospital setting. Not only is he able to conduct procedures away from the watchful eyes of his peers in the hospital, he is also able to charge the patient and insurance more than he can in the hospital setting. Dr. Jones has a win-win situation, especially if Dr. Jones likes to operate on patients whether the procedures are indicated or not. While the majority of surgeons have integrity and will not operate if something is not indicated, a few who are more concerned about their income than about their patients will operate simply if they have space on their schedule. You need only look at the headlines to see some of the consequences of these unethical behaviors (Boodman, 2014; Rice, 2014; Valcourt, 2014).

Post your response to the following questions:

1. What are the facts of the case?

Answer 1

Surgeons are the ones that we trust the most in our life . Yes we lie in from of then with the all the trust we have in an operation theatre so we are not expecting this kind of a behaviour from a surgen .

Facts .

1) when they are not getting paid enough they will go for unethical methods . So it should be made sure that they are paid well .

2). In the hospital inetrnal audit as well as other external factors are the in re-evaluation of the need for surgery

3) only indicated cases will be taken for surgery because there will not be enough time for a surgen to do surgery in a hospital.

4) since peer group is not there to view it resulted in this malpractice . So always an external checking factor is important.

5) The credibility of an ambulatory surgical unit is very low

6) Giving some situation for a person to go bad is also seen over here because a regulatory system is not there to check his Practices
