The court cases Goldberg and Wheeler do not stand for the proposition that only welfare benefits for people in extreme circumstances are entitled to pre-termination hearings. However, this is one situation where cutting off benefits with little or no notice could affect the well-being of the family or person. Any programs that offer they type of assistance people rely on to survive could benefit from pre-termination hearings, not just the welfare program. Welfare is one of the main public assistance programs, although I think housing assistance and food stamps might fall into the welfare category, they are also in need of a pre-termination hearing. In the Goldberg and Wheeler cases, California and New York did not want to give anyone a hearing

For example, some described a massive blowout to the rear of the head, rather than the right frontforward of the ear-where the autopsy report placed it. The wound in the Presidents throat was also referred to by some as an entrance wound, not the exit wound the autopsy pathologists determined it to be. Surely, the reasoning goes, these highly trained and experienced professionals could not all be

The next question that arose was what if the patient was truly in pain, but the doctors neglected to give him the medication necessary because he was black and seemed like he was a drug addict. If medications were not given to the patient while they were truly in pain, Dr. Davis would have been sued. When Dr. Davis thought these, it completely slipped my mind that patients are able to come to hospitals constantly because of their disorder to get drugs even if they fake the
