Johnson v. Misericordia Community Hospital The case of Johnson v. Misericordia Community Hospital was filed by James Johnson suing the hospital. The decision was preceded by a surgical procedure that was conducted by Dr Salinsky of the Misericordia Community Hospital. The doctor endeavored to remove a pin fragment from Johnson’s right hip, though his efforts were in futility. During the surgical operation, the doctor, unfortunately, interfered with the artery and femoral nerve. Consequently, Johnson developed a permanent paralysis of his right thigh muscles, and this caused body weakness, dysfunctionality and atrophy.

Johnson also added that the hospital ignored to evaluate…

It is a bottom-up approach where the police actively engage the community in matters concerned with societal welfare. Community policing empowers the nation rather than the traditional dictatorial approach the police deployed to the members of the public. Kappeler and Gaines (2011) state that by working with the people, the cops achieve a more significant impact on enriching the lives of the citizens. It is only by the active participation of all stakeholders in the society does the community attain better quality lives.
