I need to write a fictitious story for a Medical Law & Ethics class using 26 terms. The terms do not need to be defined in the story.
I swear I don't think I have a creative bone in my body. This assignment is giving me so much grieve. I can't think of any ideas. The class is online which is making it even harder because I don't like online classes.
Originally I was going to make up a story about a nurse who was convicted of negligence. But I have trouble including all the words- they range from "administrative law" to "third party contract" to "tort". I don't think I could make up 1 simple case.
I'm confused and I don't know where to start. Can anyone be of any help?

What about the hardships of being a male nurse? Or what it was like to be the first woman doctor? Or talk about the pain of studying all of those years in medical school. Have you ever watched those medical sitcoms like grey's anatomy or scrubs. They are medical but mostly they are about relationships. If you want a little drama you could have a secret doctor patient relationship stirring.

sounds like you need to brush up on simple business law. Those terms are standard. Tort is something in common law (Eng), contracts can be oral or written- but must have agreement implied or explicit.
Many times you will find law can be what one does and (esp. in medicine) what one does not do...many a story are about what is not done, could have been done, or ignored...

okay, try this one: doctor is operating on child who will probably be a vegetable due to a brain injury, but discovers the child is a perfect match for another child who needs a kidney, but whose parents can't afford to buy one...so he takes a kidney from the injured child and puts it into the one that needs a new one. The parents of the child who just lost a kidney (and who is probably in a permanent coma) sues the hospital for organ theft because although they agreed to donate a kidney if their child died, they didn't say the doctor could take it before he died...but the doctor couldn't wait because the other child wouldn't have survived long enough to wait out a comatose donor. The doctor is sued for malpractice, the hospital for gross neglegance and organ theft, plus trying to hide what happened by saying it was an administrative error which filed the approval for organ donor under "immediate donor" instead of "potential donor"...something along those lines.

What about a nurse that is a first year nurse that realizes that being a nurse is not all that she expected, you know it is much harder and more demanding and she is making mistakes and the doctors are coming down hard on her and she is not going to meet and marry "Dr.McDreamy" like most nursing students think.
