Assignment: (15-25 minute team Power Point presentation with detailed speaker notes).

Include 5 suitable sources that relate to the issues;

Analyze assumptions made in the story and one’s own assumptions;

Present the team’s position on the issues;

Discuss consequences and implications of how the issues were handled in the story and how they relate to real life experiences.

Consider conflict in the story (internal and external) concerning a clash of values/ethics, core values involved in the situation and reflected by main characters—religious views, professional views, personal, and so forth. The presentation should include an explanation of the issues, incorporate expert sources on the issues, analyze and evaluate team members’ assumptions about the issues, offer a position on the issues, and projected outcomes

How do actions of the characters reflect medical professionalism or a lack thereof? How would you handle a similar situation and why? What would be “best practice,” and why? What values are you using to base your recommendations on?
