Q&A: Why couldn’t God do for this child what science could had done?

Question by I see dead people: Why couldn’t God do for this child what science could had done?
Trials for Parents Who Chose Faith Over Medicine

By DIRK JOHNSON
Published: January 20, 2009

WESTON, Wis. — Kara Neumann, 11, had grown so weak that she could not walk or speak. Her parents, who believe that God alone has the ability to heal the sick, prayed for her recovery but did not take her to a doctor.

Kara Neumann months before she died at age 11. Her parents, who prayed but did not seek medical care when she was ill, are charged with reckless endangerment.
Enlarge This Image

Leilani and Dale Neumann in court last spring in Wausau, Wis. Their case could create guidelines in an unsettled area of law.

After an aunt from California called the sheriff’s department here, frantically pleading that the sick child be rescued, an ambulance arrived at the Neumann’s rural home on the outskirts of Wausau and rushed Kara to the hospital. She was pronounced dead on arrival.

The county coroner ruled that she had died from diabetic ketoacidosis resulting from undiagnosed and untreated juvenile diabetes. The condition occurs when the body fails to produce insulin, which leads to severe dehydration and impairment of muscle, lung and heart function.

“Basically everything stops,” said Dr. Louis Philipson, who directs the diabetes center at the University of Chicago Medical Center, explaining what occurs in patients who do not know or “are in denial that they have diabetes.”

About a month after Kara’s death last March, the Marathon County state attorney, Jill Falstad, brought charges of reckless endangerment against her parents, Dale and Leilani Neumann. Despite the Neumanns’ claim that the charges violated their constitutional right to religious freedom, Judge Vincent Howard of Marathon County Circuit Court ordered Ms. Neumann to stand trial on May 14, and Mr. Neumann on June 23. If convicted, each faces up to 25 years in prison.

“The free exercise clause of the First Amendment protects religious belief,” the judge wrote in his ruling, “but not necessarily conduct.”

Wisconsin law, he noted, exempts a parent or guardian who treats a child with only prayer from being criminally charged with neglecting child welfare laws, but only “as long as a condition is not life threatening.” Kara’s parents, Judge Howard wrote, “were very well aware of her deteriorating medical condition.”

About 300 children have died in the United States in the last 25 years after medical care was withheld on religious grounds, said Rita Swan, executive director of Children’s Health Care Is a Legal Duty, a group based in Iowa that advocates punishment for parents who do not seek medical help when their children need it. Criminal codes in 30 states, including Wisconsin, provide some form of protection for practitioners of faith healing in cases of child neglect and other matters, protection that Ms. Swan’s group opposes.

God never makes a mistake.

Just because we don’t like his choice doesn’t make it wrong.

Alcoholic mother-in-law: bleeding and “age spots.” What could be happening?!?

Question by monkeylove: Alcoholic mother-in-law: bleeding and “age spots.” What could be happening?!?
My mother-in-law has “age spots” covering her from wrist to elbow that are terribly purple. Recently, she told me that she’s having vaginal and rectal bleeding, yet refuses to see a physician.

I fear it may have to do with the drinking/liver. She is also a heavy smoker.

I know it’s impossible for me to make her see a doctor, but what do you think is wrong?

Answer by Short3Gears
Sounds like classic liver damage/chirrosis!!! I know, I have it… if she doesn’t get help soon, she will be MISERABLY ILL and in PAIN for quite some time before she dies…. Nothing worse than death by liver failure!! I was lucky, caught it just in time… and my liver is now BARELY letting me live… but when my belly swelled up due to liquid in my abdomen and I have stretch marks (I am a guy!!!) I looked like I was 8 months pregnant!!! They drained 2 GALLON of liquid from my abdomen… – I wished I was dead!!!!

Tell her to see her doctor or she will be in so much pain SOON that she will wish she were dead… too bad it just doesn’t kill a person in their sleep…. wow, I feel bad for her!!!

could someone review my essay and give me a review?

Help I need some to review my essay.

Client Issues, Approaches and Gaps

There are several issues that are facing our consumers at Mental Health Kokua. One of the major issues is for the consumers who are suffering from such illness of schizophrenia, Bi-Polar and nomadic-depression the decline of coverage for medicine and services that were previously covered under med quest. Decline in economy has put a lot of these consumers in dire straight, where to get these services and who can they rely on to fill the gap of no medical coverage for medication.
Due to changes in medical coverage many consumers are no longer able to get those services met. Changes in med-quest deny many consumers of Mental Health Kokua the use of services that are provided at our facility. Today they have no coverage and Mental Health Kokua is seeking to get services for the consumers in there program. Many are still receiving basic needs meet from the agency, such as food, clothing, some sort of housing assistance and help on medication, through Kahi Holomua. Community based case manager with the help of Adult Mental Health Kokua was able to assist these client.
The closing of MHK (Mental Health Kokua) homeless outreach was a major blow to the consumers who are houseless with a severe mental health issue. Many of them used our service to get connected to a psychiatric, finding a bed for a night, assisting in getting some medical attention in regards to sores and infections. The outreach services was the connection to reaching out to those who did not have transportation or unable to come to our door to receive mental health services.
Another is helping the consumer and some of the case managers address the issue of chemical dependency. Many consumers with mental health issues use substance abuse in order to self-medicate themselves, when not doing to well managing there prescribed medications many consumers use substance to feel better. The agency offers various training to the staff one is through Kahi Holomua’s, supervisor Ann Lang teaching them various techniques in identifying clients that are self-medicating themselves through alcohol or illicit drugs. Having these classes or training is making the case manager more efficient in there attempts to help the consumer become social, and productive in there community and contribute to resilience in there own recovery. Empowers the client to be successful in there recovery to live an independent life and manage there medication with a better understanding of the illness and not the self.
Finding community activities that are culturally informative has been an issue. Cultural can be a major issue, being that mental health has never been the norm of many cultural but the staff of Kahi Holomua does a wide variety of functions in the community that keeps the cultural aspect alive. Many activities are based around cultural information we attend arts shows at Maui Art and Cultural Center. Visit museums, walk around in the whaling town of Lahaina, visit the petting zoo in Haiku, and taro patches. Many of our consumers have never been to these places or some have vivid memories of living in that area that we visit. We also attend “Brown Bag”, it is an informative lunch event, and we bring our own lunch. They have a wide variety of topics that are discussed at the presentation Bipolar Illness, Eating Disorder, Postpartum Depression, and Teen Suicide. This event is open to the public, mental health consumers, and families.
In conclusion, MHK works tirelessly advocating for the client improvement, treatment and care on a daily basis with consumers with mental health issues. There maybe some gaps that I could have over looked. MHK still reaches out to those who are at need of there services. Dealing with the issue is only part of the problem helping the consumer is the goal of self-determination, empowering and building socialization instead of isolation. Having the client looking at themselves and not the disorder is the focus that MHK maintains.

Could you give me some advice on a career path, please?

Hello, I am a 20 year old boy (man?) who is trying to turn his life around. At age 16 I started using marijuana and alcohol, and from there started working my way up to harder drugs (MDMA, LSD, cocaine). But recently I had the epiphany that I need to change in order to get what I want out of life, and also in order to do the right thing. I confessed everything to my father who is deeply concerned about me.

But that’s not the point of this question. I just thought you could better answer it with that background information on me.

I want to help other people. Sit people down, and talk to them. I am a good listener and good at understanding other peoples problems and telling them what they need to hear; I’ve been good at this all my life. So I want to go professional on this. The problem is I’m not sure of the specific college degree or field I am trying to go for. Some things that do come to mind, though, are: Psychology, Psychiatry, Therapy, Counseling. I know some of these things require graduate school, which is okay, but I’d also like to know what can be accomplished with just a bachelors.

Ideally, I see myself having a steady job in which I see patients and talk to them about issues they are having and provide treatment for them. Mental disorders interest me – severe ones and mild ones. Even people who don’t have a diagnosed disorder but are just seeking help.

I am just seeking information and suggestions. If you have a job in a like field, YOUR help would be much appreciated. Thank you everyone.

ps: I also enjoy reading and writing, and am a musician, if that makes a difference.

Could some one please edit my essay on drunk driving?

Right now I dont feel like my paper is flowing very well. Please help……
I’m having a hard time tieing it all together to come up with a closing.

Drunk Driving: Something Must Be Done
He never thought it would happen to him…..After having a few drinks he got into his car and headed home, but he never made it. He was drunk and driving and in his own little world, when out of nowhere someone pulled out in front of him. He never had a chance to stop…. And just like that his life and family was gone.
Drunk Driving is considered a serious crime; it is wrong, irresponsible and destroys many lives. Every thirty minutes someone is killed in an alcohol related crash and every two minutes someone else has been injured, according to (http://www.edgarsnyder.com/drunk-driving/statistics.html drunk driving statistics for the United States. Every person needs to be held accountable to for their actions, getting behind the wheel after a night of drinking out hascan have serious consequences; possibly killing or hurting yourself and others, losssing you of one’s drivers licenses and oneyou could have to spend time in jail as well as having hefty fines.
Alcoholic Alcohol is one theof the most abused substances in the United States weather the user is of age or not with no regard to the age of the individual user .For most users their first influence with drinking begins in childhood, they grow up watching their relativities drink in front of them. To some this is considered a normal thing.
Drunk driving is a very serious problem in our society today. People go out and party without a thought and thought or care and then with their liquid courage, they decide to drive putting everyone at risk, they have slower reaction and impaired judgment and they cause about seventy two thousand five hundred in 2008 there was an estimated eleven thousand seven hundred and seventy three people that died in drunk driving crashes, according to www.madd.org Mothers Against Drunk Drivers).deaths each year. Drivers need to think before entering into a vehicle after drinking, there is no excuse for drinking and driving, no excuse for being irresponsible. If someone chooses to go out and drink they need to take a cab home. Even one drink many be too much.
Everyday people are arrested for driving under the influence, while law enforcement agencies continue to crack down on these dangerous offenders, for many of these drivers this will not be there first DUI offense according to (alcoholism.about.com/cs/drive/a/aa082797.htmIf a drunk driver gets caught drinking they could have to do up to one year in jail These drivers may be supervised to find that penalties for DUI even if it is there first offense, have increased due to groups like Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. Groups like these and many others have helped to pass hundreds of new laws to stop drinking driving Nationwide since 1980. , these days it is said that one DUI could cost you ten thousand dollars, which is a lot of money for one night of fun although the fines and consequences could be much worse. In order to bring down the number of DUI states have taken some effective measures such as immediate license suspension, lowering the blood alcohol consummation levels, setting up sobriety checkpoints, and media campaigns about the danger of drink and drink.

When it comes to drinking and driving some feels there are some people that feel that celebrities get special treatment. Lindsay Lohan was arrested after crashing her car into a treetree; where she was found to have been drinking and was in possession of a small amount of cocaine. Lindsay took a plea deal on a misdemeanor drunk driving and possession charge where is she only served eighty four minutes in jail. Her original sentence was a day in jail but due to overcrowding in the jail she was sent free. What does this say to our society? If celebrities can get away with it why can’t we. This isn’t a good message to be sending out to our society.

What changes would you bring into this country if you could run it for at least one week?

Seriously this is what I would do:

1I would make it mandatory for heavy drinking alcoholics and drug addicts to have forced sterilization and put into a island of their own since many do not want to clean up.

2I would have all pedophiphiles totally castrated and injected with female hormones, that would teach them!

3Would make it against the law for married people to have affairs and have the ones that do arrested.

4Instead of the goverment whining about the deficit, I’de have more money printed and pay it all. Now that would solve the problem.

5To keep the peace in this country, I would divide all states and cities to accomadate all racist people on one side with their own kind, and the non-racist to the other side. Anyone wanting to cross the other’s territory would have to have a legal pass and permission

6Greedy theifs would get their hands cut off.

7Lunatics and retarded people would have forced sterilization and a lombatomy for the lunatic.

8Violent criminals would have their feet, and hands cut off, and their voice box removed.

9Give gays a city of their own called City of Sodom and Gommorah.
Oh my…my spelling is so bad, that’s what I get for typing too fast and not checking before submitting.

Interesting good reads!

Conscious conserv, I would consider the punishments justified.
Too much goverment intrusion…horsefeathers! I would be giving people what they want, to be left alone and live the way they choose to their lives but in their own city amongst their own kind.
I tell you though, what Amendment I’d do away with. It would be the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.”
I would not give any citizenship to any kids born to illegal aliens.

someone explain to me how the blame could possibly be put on me?

Alright.. I’m 16, with an 8 month old, I’m emancipated. A week ago, my 20 month old sister got taken out of my mothers care, and placed in a foster home. After 24 hours, I had a home study, and a background check, and she was placed with me. I have temporary custody, and my mother was court ordered into a rehab, that accepts mothers with children.

She’s in the process of trying to get in, the only thing stopping her, is they don’t think they have the funding, which means someone else will have to pay out of pocket. It would be $2,700 a month, which I can in NO way afford. My school tuition is $23,000 a year, I have a baby, rent, insurance, and I have a life.

Somehow, this is my fault. It’s my fault that the baby got taken from her, it’s my fault that she can’t get into the rehab, it’s my fault that I can’t pay for it… and everything, is coincidentally MY fault.

Can someone explain how? I’d LOVE to know.

Before Michael Jackson’s death could his family have had a court order to have him placed in a rehab program ?

It seems as if he was overloading himself on sleeping medication.
