I would have to say at this point in time that i'm not 100% sure what my expectations for the class would be. I know that i would like to learn more about ethics and i guess in turn their place/ role in the biomedical field. I want to come out of this class more educated and with a greater understanding regarding ethics and the biomedical field. I want to be able to carry out intelligent conversation with other people regarding the topic of ethics and in turn regarding ethics and the Biomedical realm. I hope that by taking this course i can come out with these expectations/ goals achieved.
My expectations for this class are that it will cover a lot of similar topics that were covered in the awesome Death and Dying class that I took a few semesters ago. Rather than it being more focused around the philosophy of life and death, it will be more about decision making (ethics: right/ wrong). I think the class discussions will be very unique and interesting because morales will definitely come into play and many people may have different ideas, beliefs, and thoughts on certain topics about what is right and wrong. I also think that this class will be more science related because it has to do with the decisions made in the medical field. I think that my eyes will definitely be opened to a spectrum of ideas that I have never thought of before and that this class will definitely effect the way that I think when it comes to making hard, but necessary decisions in a medical setting.
I am not too sure as to what my expectations are for this class.Overall i suppose it would be beneficial to be able to relate to others situations and be able to help out in any way possible. I would like to be able to convey my thoughts and ideals about whats currently being discussed in class in a clear manner so that others may understand what mindset i have. Finally i hope to keep an open mind to everyone's ideas, beliefs etc.
I have very high expectations for this class! Just kidding. I am honestly looking forward to deep considerations about the ethics behind each party (ie. the physician, the family, the patient) involved in a situation of death. I am genuinely fascinated with the material and I hope to hear the thoughts of others to firmly establish my own thoughts too. I expect that we will have several discussions; however I think that these matters become more real when we see the matters happen in videos in class. In death and dying, the movie "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" honestly became one of my favorite movies because I found that to be incredible. I actually shared that movie with others that I know.
So, basically I expect similar foundations as death and dying and I cannot wait to philosophically talk about these deep issues that no one else ever talks about.
I am expecting to gain some useful ethical decision making skill that I know I need for my job. The specific topic of biomedical ethics will be interesting, and I expect to find a use for it later on in life.
Although I am eager to learn more about Biomedical Ethics, I am not sure what to expect. After the movie on tuesday and the discussion on thursday, this is obviously a huge ethical problem that many people deal with but are not prepared for. If anything I would like to learn how to deal with situations such as keeping a family member on life support.
My expectations from this course are to gain a real-world perspective of what goes on in the healthcare system; such as the video that we saw. Also I expect to learn a lot from the open discussions that we had in class on the second day. Discussions such as those allow people to see things from a different light with the different varieties of the way that people think and express themselves. I will say that I expect the course to very interesting to say the least.
This is a more thinking type of class. I got this from the fact that citing sources doesn't seem to be a big concern, so I expect more abstract thought. Which is good, wisdom is more valuable than knowledge.
I do not have any real expectations for this class, but it does seem very interesting to me. After last week the topics for this class will matter in our lives and it is intresting to me to think about my postion and what I would do.
To Jimmy's point, I expect that this class will have some overlap with the death and dying class that I took a few semesters ago. I really enjoyed that course and I think this class will focus a bit more on the medical field and the ethical decisions that are made regularly. I'm sure I will hear many different perspectives from my classmates and expect this will contribute and help develop my own understanding of sound medical ethics.
I'm not really sure what my expectations are for this class but I know we will talk about tough situations when it comes to death and dying, and we will think about how we will handle them. I plan on learning a lot more about the health care system and the future of it.
I hope that others will be able to give me new insights into the human condition, particularly regarding ethics in healthcare, and that maybe I could contribute to their intellectual development as well. We're all making our way through life, and each one of us has a chance to impact another person's journey. The class will be what we make of it and could possibly make a difference in our own personal lives, aiding us in discovering our greater purpose. It may not end up leading to an epiphany, but you never know unless you allow yourself to be receptive in class.
I am not really sure what to expect from this class. I do think we will have some pretty in depth discussions and touch on some pretty deep topics, which is exciting. I also think that many of us will be forced to challenge our thinking and our previous beliefs, which is essential in a critical thinking environment. I think that we will learn many different things that will help to shape our future interpretations of the medical field in general. I do know that I am excited to see what this class brings!
In this class I expect to gain a new perspective into the medical field. A perspective that looks through the medical practices and takes a deeper look at ethical issues that can occur in the health field. I am expecting to gain knowledge that I can use throughout medical school and when I began practicing medicine. I also would like to gain a grasp on current events in the medical field. I am not big into watching the news or reading the paper, so I would like to use this class partially for my database on current events in the medical world.
I expect the topics of discussions in class to be really deep. Also, I expect to gain the knowledge I need to work in heathcare and to learn how to deal with ethical situations in work and in personal situations.
I hope to gain deeper insight into the ethical decisions people in the field of healthcare must make on what might be a daily basis. I think that this course offers a lot of practical knowledge that I would consider essential when going into healthcare professions. It may also challenge or reinforce some of my own beliefs about ethics and introduce new points of view which I've never considered before.
My expectations for this class is that it will give me a better view on what is right and wrong in the health care system today and the technology that is available to help or possibly hurt people and apply it to my life in some way down the road when I need to.
The expectations I have for this class are that I want to gain a lot of information not only from Dr. Cate but from the other students as well. I am hoping that everyone will be involved and it will be more of a discussion instead of a lecture, that way I will be able to see more views on each topic. I also am hoping to get into some touchy subjects and explore them in class and know what to expect that way I will be more prepared when I see certain situations in the field.
I don't have specific expectations for this class but I do expect it to be really interesting. I also expect the class to make me really think about these issues that I have never really taken into consideration before. I expect that I will really have to do some deep thinking and self exploration to pinpoint my own opinions about these touchy subjects.
I expect to take lots away from this class. I'm excited to see and hear other's perspectives on the issues. Because there are many of us in the class who are planning on entering the medical field, I think it will be interesting to try and put ourselves in real world situations when discussing in class. Often times, issues in the ethical field are very touchy, so, I feel that it will help to talk about them in discussion form to learn what others believe instead of relying on your own mind all the time.
I am very excited about this class. I currently work at St. Elizabeth Hospital and I deal with patients regularly. I have seen the extreme lengths that some people will go to try and keep their loved ones alive even when it causes extreme pain. I hope to have a greater understanding of the right thing to do in these situations as I work at St. Elizabeth
