Question
ealthcare Environment THE CASE OF THE NEW MINISTER awn is an ordained minister in a little church located in a small Midwest community. She has had to overcome some discrimi- nation as the first female clergy member in the town. However Dawn feels that her church congregation and other members of the community have finally started to accept her in this new role. Dawn was recently diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome by a gastroenterolo- gist in the next town. He performed a colonoscopy on Dawn to rule out cancer of the bowel and found nothing more than a few benign polyps, which he removed. He told Dawn that he wanted her to start taking ami- triptyline for three months to see if that would solve her irritable bowel problem. He said that he had success using this antidepressant, also known as Elavil, to treat irritable bowel syndrome. He said he would call the prescription into Dawn's local pharmacy When Dawn went in to pick up her prescription, she met two mem- bers of her congregation who were also picking up their prescriptions. The pharmacist leaned over the front counter and said to Dawn, "Do you know that this is an antidepressant?" 1. What rights of Dawn's were violated? 2.
