Apply the knowledge you gained from the readings related to economic evaluation and consider the following case study.

A controversial new device, the implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD), was used in a clinical trial to determine if it improved survival for heart attack patients over the standard drug treatment. The trial provided the following information: Two years after the first heart attack, 85% of the ICD patients were still alive, compared to 70% of the drug treatment group. No additional data were available after the 24-month trial.

In this assignment, explore how to utilize survival measures as a method of measuring cost and effectiveness. It is important to be able to consider just how many patients may be affected, what their treatment alternatives are, and the impact of using survival measures as a method of measuring cost and effectiveness.

Help me study for my Health & Medical class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Please respond to the following questions:

• What are the historical foundations of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)?
• Describe a real-world example of how the NLRA guides the activities of unions and employers.
• What is the role of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and how would someone file a claim with the NLRB?

I don’t know how to handle this Health & Medical question and need guidance.

A woman in her mid-thirties suffered from a rare malignancy in her brain and around her spinal cord. She had surgery, and most of the tumor mass was removed, but residual tumor remained in the brain and around the spinal cord. The doctors informed her that chemotherapy and radiation were possible treatment options but could cause serious problems such as sepsis, a permanent loss of IQ and stature, and even death. She wished to proceed with the therapy.

After undergoing aggressive chemotherapy and radiation, she did independent research and read of several drugs being administered for cancer in other states that were unapproved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and were illegal in their home state but were touted by physicians using them as “miracle cures.” The woman is considering suing her physician for failure to disclose alternative treatments, thus depriving her of informed consent.

A court awarded summary judgment to the physician.

Respond to the following questions about this case:

• In your opinion, does the court’s decision seem warranted? Why or why not? 
• Under the doctrine of informed consent, should a physician be responsible for informing patients of all treatment options, even if some of the treatments are illegal or not yet proven effective? Explain your answer.
