Wondering if anyone is following the Davita Lufkin Dialysis Case ---
As nurses and concerned individuals, one must ask if this nurse is not a scapegoat for Davita ??
If there were witnesses who observed this nurse supposedly inject bleach into patients, then why did they NOT intervene immediately?
To think that a nurse might die (death penalty) for something she did not do, is scarey....................one is innocent until proven guilty...

Do you have a link to this story?
Here is a link I found:

This story is from 2009 so while very sad, this is in in the court system now.
I agree with Davita: "rogue nurse" - this happens rarely so that is why it is news.
Most nurses are very conscientious, reliable, hard-working and compassionate.
