Treatment Options for Syphilis

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that syphilis is a disease that is perceived according to stereotypes, such as income levels and sexual promiscuity, which misleads the general public. The author discusses ethical health care based on ethical theories, ethical position, moral positions, professional codes, access to care, advanced directives, financial influences and patients' rights. The paper relates that the exploration of syphilis care within this general framework demonstrates that syphilis is categorically perceived among society as a condition, which is less deserving of time, care, and resources among the health care community than diseases or disorders that do not have such a high negative emotional connotation.

From the Paper:

"The status of health care treatment policy in regards to the effective care and treatment of patients suffering from syphilis is characterized by social strata (U.S. Centers for Disease Control, 2004). Syphilis is a disease that is perceived according to stereotypes, such as income levels, sexual promiscuity, and similar trends that are misleading within the general public. However, the study of the treatment options and the health care policy used when assessing general public strategies to cope with syphilis integrates these perceptions to varying degrees. This paper explores the process of ethical decision-making in syphilis reflecting concepts in ethical theories, ethical position, moral positions, professional codes, access to care, advanced directives, financial influences, and patients' rights.
