The Dilemma for Order of Treatment - Essay Example

The mother is equivalent to three full lives.  If I would be questioned about her criminal record, my reply would be it is not my lot to judge people or punish people but rather to heal.

            My second priority is the six-year-old kid who will be blind and unable to walk if he survives.  Now again, I may ask why not prioritize a child over a criminal?  Again, my criteria of the order of treatment who would benefit the most from the medical care and not emotion.  Our emotions may dictate to us that a child should come first.  But he would still not benefit that much from the medical care because he would still go blind and unable to walk even if he survive compared to his mother who has two dependents.  This explains why the child is next to my order of priority of care.
