Discuss how two or more of the characters deal with / are impacted by death. What does the manner in which OBrien includes the story of Ted Lavenders deathmultiple times, repeating information, returning to it in odd placessay about death and this death in particular?

Death is clearly a central theme of The Things They Carried. The soldiers in the story handle death differently throughout the text. Some carry ghosts, while others seem not to be impacted at all by the deaths of their fellow soldiers (or their enemy).

How do you think Deborah and Daniel should handle the situation?Position Statement Worksheet.docx

Deborah Jones, NP and Daniel King, PharmD, are working in a privately owned primary care clinic. This clinic serves mostly Medicaid-eligible families. Although Medicaid pays generously for most diagnoses and procedures, it often denies payment for wellness services. In order for the clinic to make a profit, it has become an unwritten policy to give every patient a diagnosis even if no problem actually exists. Deborah Jones and Daniel King are reluctant to do this because they consider this fraud. Their supervisor assures that everyone else at the clinic invents diagnoses, not only is it common practice across the country, it is a necessary practice to ensure that the clinic will stay open. The supervisor says that Medicaid policy is outdated, and that inventing a diagnosis is the logical solution. She also implies that Deborah Jones and Daniel King could jeopardize their jobs if they refuse to participate in this practice. The other employees in the clinic tell them that the supervisor is right- everyone has been doing this for years; it has never caused any problem. Deborah and Daniel are worried that if they refuse to follow the supervisors request, they may lose their jobs. They also believe Medicaid really should be paying for the visits and that the clinic is a vital community service.
Your group is assigned to argue “AGAINST” Deborah and Daniel complying with the practice of making up patients diagnoses. Use the questions below to guide your discussions and the Position Statement Worksheet to articulate the best options for your assigned position.

3. What are the legal implications for Deborah and Daniel?
