Introduction
Conflicts between rights, values, and obligations give rise to moral and ethical difficulties in the healthcare context. Professionals in the healthcare industry are tasked with assessing whether choices and responses are morally sound. Making the most educated call possible requires a commitment to learning, an openness to new perspectives, and an ability to maintain objectivity. Knowing a patient's intentions and having a living will are two examples of relevant knowledge that might help determine the right course of action in an ethical conundrum. Furthermore, health care is not the only industry in which ethical difficulties might arise. This assessment will examine a court case involving an ethical issue and will focus on the significance of such decisions for healthcare providers (Hawkins,2009).
HAWKINS v. STATE
An Indiana Supreme Court judge has been placed on administrative leave after his or her carelessness had serious ramifications for certain litigants. Due to needless delays in judgements on applications for post-conviction relief, one prisoner's detention was prolonged unnecessarily by two years, leading to suspension without pay (Hawkins,2009). The Supreme Court agreed that the major blame for the lengthy delays resided with a court commissioner, but it found that Judge Hawkins, who was supposed to be in charge of the case, had failed to do so (Kalb,2019). The court ruled that the judge was responsible for ensuring the timely issuance of judgements and that the commissioner was to blame for any delays.
