ANSWER
1. Main differences between yin and yang organs

Yin and yang organs are two different types of organs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Yin organs are associated with femininity, inwardness, and rest. They are responsible for storing and conserving vital substances, such as blood, yin fluids, and jing (essence). Yang organs are associated with masculinity, outwardness, and activity. They are responsible for transforming and distributing vital substances throughout the body.

| Yin organs | Yang organs |
|—|—|—|
| Liver | Gallbladder |
| Heart | Small intestine |
| Spleen | Stomach |
| Lungs | Large intestine |
| Kidneys | Urinary bladder |

2. Emotions associated with each yin organ and the effects of injuring the organ or indulging in an emotion

Liver

Emotion: Anger
Effects of injuring the organ or indulging in the emotion: Liver qi stagnation, which can lead to symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, headaches, and irritability.
Heart

Emotion: Joy
Effects of injuring the organ or indulging in the emotion: Heart yin deficiency, which can lead to symptoms such as insomnia, palpitations, and anxiety.
Spleen

Emotion: Worry
Effects of injuring the organ or indulging in the emotion: Spleen qi deficiency, which can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, diarrhea, and poor digestion.
Lungs

Emotion: Grief
Effects of injuring the organ or indulging in the emotion: Lung qi deficiency, which can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and susceptibility to colds and flu.
Kidneys

Emotion: Fear
Effects of injuring the organ or indulging in the emotion: Kidney yang deficiency, which can lead to symptoms such as low back pain, urinary problems, and sexual dysfunction.
3. Which organ controls the smooth, free flow of Qi? Explain the importance of maintaining a free flow of qi and the organs that are affected.

The liver is responsible for the smooth, free flow of qi throughout the body. Qi is the vital energy that flows through the meridians (energy channels) and nourishes all of the organs and tissues. When qi is flowing smoothly, the body is healthy and in balance. However, when qi becomes blocked or stagnant, it can lead to a variety of health problems.

Importance of maintaining a free flow of qi

Maintaining a free flow of qi is essential for good health. Qi is responsible for all of the body’s functions, including digestion, circulation, respiration, and immunity. When qi is flowing smoothly, the body is able to function efficiently and effectively. However, when qi is blocked or stagnant, it can lead to a variety of health problems, such as pain, fatigue, digestive problems, and respiratory problems.

Organs affected by blocked or stagnant qi

All of the organs can be affected by blocked or stagnant qi. However, the liver, spleen, and stomach are particularly susceptible to qi stagnation. This is because these organs are responsible for the transformation and transportation of food and fluids. When qi is stagnant in these organs, it can lead to a variety of digestive problems, such as bloating, indigestion, and constipation.

4. Relationship between the lungs and kidneys

The lungs and kidneys have a close relationship. The lungs are responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and eliminating them from the body. The lungs and kidneys also work together to maintain fluid balance in the body.

If the lungs are weak, the kidneys may not be able to filter waste products from the blood effectively. This can lead to a buildup of waste products in the body, which can lead to a variety of health problems, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and kidney disease.

5. Process of qi production starting from the intake of food and water

Qi is produced through the process of digestion. When we eat food and drink water, the stomach and spleen begin to break it down into its component nutrients. These nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to the liver. The liver then transforms these nutrients into qi.

The qi produced by the liver is then transported to the rest of the body through the meridians. The lungs, kidneys, and other organs then use this qi to carry out their functions.

Organs involved in qi production

Stomach: breaks down food into its component nutrients
Spleen: absorbs nutrients from the food and transports them to the liver
Liver: transforms nutrients into qi
Lungs: distribute qi to the rest of the body
Kidneys: distribute qi to the rest of the body and also help to produce kidney qi, which is a type of qi that is responsible for the reproductive and urinary systems.
Conclusion

Yin and yang organs are two different types of organs in TCM that play important roles in the body’s overall

The case Bright Road Hospital is facing is Mr. Price, a patient, is suing the hospital for negligence since they amputated his good leg instead of the diseased leg. Mr. Price claims he went through the prep for surgery with the surgeon, Dr. Gene West, where they identified and initialed the leg that was going to be amputated. However, after the surgery, Mr. Price realized the wrong leg had been amputated and decided to sue the hospital. The medical records indicated that the surgery took place on the 11th of January. During the first meeting with Dr. West, he stated that he performed Mr. Price’s surgery around 5pm. Dr. West also confirmed that Mr. Price had diabetes and injured his leg on a job site thereby contracting a staph infection through an open wound and Mr. Price did not seek immediate medical attention until the infection had spread and the only option was to amputate the leg. According to Dr. West, the standard procedure is before the surgery the patient is examined while being in a stable condition before the surgery. Also, the limbs that are to be amputated are marked and initialed by the surgeon before the patient also initials the surgical site to ensure the marked site is the right place. After initialing the site, a surgical nurse preps the limb that is to be amputated by draping the site and sterilizing it with an antiseptic. Dr. West also stated that prior to the commencement of the surgery, every individual at the operating room table confirms the surgical site about to be operated on is the right site. He further stated that everyone initials the pre-surgical checklist to confirm the surgery is about to performed on the correct body part. Considering all these procedures and policies that are outlined by Dr. West, if these policies and procedures were followed strictly, it would not have led to this lawsuit against Bright Road Hospital because someone would have discovered the wrong leg had been prepped for surgery.
During the interview with Bobbi White, the surgical nurse, she feared being sued personally for her negligence. However, during the second interview where she had been enlightened on the respondeat superior principle, she confirmed what the HR records had shown that she was the surgical nurse on duty and responsible for prepping Mr. Price for the surgery. The surgical nurse however did not check the patient chart at the time she was to prep him resulting in the wrong leg being prepped for surgery. This is a clear act of negligence on the part of the surgical nurse which has resulted in the injury of a patient. Ezra 10:4 says, “Arise, for it is your task, and we are with you; be strong and do it” (English Standard Version, 2001). This verse talks about taking all jobs or responsibilities seriously and performing those tasks well. In the case of the surgical nurse, she did not perform her task well and that led to a patient losing his good leg instead of the diseased or infected leg. In terms of liability, Bright Road hospital will be held liable for this because it was through the negligence of its employees that Mr. Price’s good leg was amputated instead of the diseased leg. Luther (2021) argues that the first factor that must be defined in a medical negligence case is a duty to use care, which means that the healthcare professional must provide medical services with a certain degree of care. In Mr. Price’s case, the duty to care was established between Bright Road hospital and Mr. Price since he was admitted to the hospital to undergo a surgical procedure or amputation. However, the negligence of the hospital’s employees led to a breach of the duty to care, that is, the amputation of the wrong leg. Since the nurses and surgeon are all employees of the hospital, the hospital will be held liable for their negligence under Respondeat Superior. Kamensky (2020) argues that under the respondeat superior ideology, an organization may be held liable to a third party for injuries suffered by an employee’s negligence while acting within the context of employment.
In determining whether a patient can file a motion for Res Ispa Loquitur, there are three elements that must be present, that is, it must be proven that the event would have occurred normally in the absence of negligence, the defendant must have had exclusive control over the instrumentality that caused the injury, and the plaintiff must have not contributed to the injury. The event would not have happened if not for the negligent act of removing the patient’s good leg. This cannot be considered as a normal occurrence since the correct leg was clearly marked and initialed by both the patient and the surgeon but after all that the wrong leg was still removed. Also, during the second interview with Dr. West, he confirmed that the hospital staff was in complete control of the instrumentality that led to Mr. Price’s injury because he was already anesthetized. Dr. West confirmed that the operation run smoothly and there were no malfunctions that led to the amputation of the wrong leg or the patient’s injury. Finally, since Mr. Price was presedated, there is no way he could have contributed to his injury, and this was confirmed by the surgical nurse who said Mr. Price was presedated while she was prepping his leg for the surgery. Therefore, looking at all these factors, Mr. Price will be able to file a motion for Res ispa loquitur since all elements necessary for it to be correct are present.
