    The term constructive discharge is by definition when an employee feels they are forced to resign their job because the employer has made working conditions unbearable (Doyle,2013). In the circumstance presented, the employee felt compelled to resign because the work schedule was changed and would require him to work on his religious holy day. The business changed the production team schedule to accommodate growth and expansion, changing the schedule from 8:00am-5:00pm, Monday thru Friday, to four twelve hour shifts. The employees would rotate four days on and four…

    A constructive discharge arises when a wage earner maintains the organization forced him/her to step down because working environments were made unbearable. The claim of constructive discharge under the Title VII Civil Rights Act of 1964 by Mr. X, is unjustified. The employee notifying the company that he was upset with the scheduling change in the production area never filed a complaint. Furthermore, Mr. X did not allow the organization the opportunity to respond to the claim. Thus, the organization was not aware the production schedule change created an unbearable working environment.…

    Pelvic Fistulas

    The location of the connective tract defines the type of pelvic fistula. Urogenital fistulas refer to abnormal communications between the female genital tract and the bladder, urethra, or ureters. The types encountered are vesicovaginal, vesicouterine, ureterovaginal and urethrovaginal, either obstetric or postsurgical, based on pathogenesis. Anovaginal, rectovaginal, colovaginal and enterovaginal fistulas are pathological communications that connect the lower gastrointestinal tract with the vagina. At last, a communication between the gastrointestinal and the urinary tract leads to the formation of the least common types of fistulas, namely ureteroenteric and vesicoenteric fistulas. Pelvic fistulas are usually the consequence of obstetric complications, such as uterine rupture or prolonged labor, contraceptive devices that are misplaced, inflammatory bowel disease, pelvic malignancy, pelvic radiation therapy, pelvic surgery, or other traumatic causes (1). More rare cases of fistulas have been described after uterine artery embolization or rupture of cystic adenomyoma (2,…

    Discharge Planning Essay

    Failure to safely and appropriately discharge patients from the hospital is placing patients at risk, not to mention the increase costs to hospitals, providers, and insurers. Many acknowledge that the hospital discharge is non-standardized, unsystematic, and fragmented process (Anthony, Chetty, Kartha, McKenna, DePaoli, & Jack, 2005; Minott, 2008). Furthermore, the inefficiencies in the discharge planning process have also shown to have life-threatening implications, especially in association with Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) (Forster, Murff, Peterson, et al., 2003). It has also been recognized that ADEs are also a result of medication non adherence (----) and medication non adherence may be correlated to a harried discharge process…
