Can a hospital force a urinary catheter?
It depends on the circumstances. In some cases, yes.
The answer is actually no. In any person competent to make their own decisions (ie not sanctioned under the mental heath act), the hospital cannot force a catheter and if they do will find themselves in court being sued for battery. There is always an alternative to catheterisation but the hospitals do not make people aware of this as it involves more work and inconvenience for them. They tell you that is some procedures a catheter is essential. This is not true and you can refuse the treatment if they insist it involves catheterisation then refer the matter to the medical council. Dont be misled, catheters are not essential. Its your body, if you dont want one just refuse it, there is nothing they can do.

If you cut off your finger but it stops bleeding should you still go to the hospital?
Yes, they can perform things to make sure it is not infected. And if you managed to put the finger on ice quickly, they can re-attach it. Absolutly, depending on how clean the cut is they may be able to re attach it. Also you risk severe infection without medical attention. Depends on how deep the cut is. Make sure that you clean your wound ASAP with peroxide or Hibiclens. Use an antibiotic ointment after thoroughly cleansing the wound. Bandage it with sterile bandage. If the cut is deep, you may need stitches and need to go to the hospital. In any case, keep it clean. Watch for infection--redness, swelling, pus, pain etc. Follow up with your MD. You may need to be looked at and antibiotics given if the MD feels it is necessary. Depends on how deep the cut is. Make sure that you clean your wound ASAP with peroxide or Hibiclens.

How do you calculate the service factor?
One type of service factor for an electric power supply might be the average power supplied divided by the maximum power that can be supplied.
For a domestic user the supply might allow 15 kVA to be drawn, while the average load throughout the year might be only 0.75 kVA, so in that case the service factor is 0.05 or 5%.
Statistical predictions can be made for groups of consumers, so that a street of 50 houses for example does not require a supply transformer rated at 50 x 15 kVA, it can be supplied by a smaller transformer depending on the usage statistics for that area.
The factor is calculated from the known statistics for each area and this can be done by using the energy bills over a long period like 12 months.
