Endoscopic procedures generally provide shorter and less painful recovery time for the patient. However, there will always be a need for traditional “open” surgical procedures. What types of procedures are not likely to ever be replaced by endoscopy? Are there patients for whom endoscopy might not be a viable option even if the surgery is possible?
Two police officers rush into your medical office demanding immediate help in tracking down a fugitive on the run. They believe the man be responsible for a carjacking and they have a written request for a description of any noticeable physical characteristics, such as scars and tattoos. The electronic health record (EHR) reveals the man has a large skull tattoo on his upper arm. However, the officers don't have a warrant for the information. Can you give it to them? Does it matter whether the fugitive has committed a violent or nonviolent offense? Explain your response.
Can you give further explanations regarding this topic? We are about to tackle this in our next lesson and our teacher assigned us to answer this for practice. But I do not have any idea on how to do this.
