Here's a line of questioning Dr Evans Think back to all the times a patient declined and then died and the cause wasn't clear. Everyone concluded that it must have been murder, right? NOT.

This is a very long article with an audio option. I hope some folks who follow this case and agreed with the guilty verdict will read/listen and share their thoughts.t I came away from this article really questioning the evidence - very speculat...

My first 7 years of nursing were in a NICU. Granted that was the late '80s, but I disagree strongly. Neonates, and preemies especially decompensate very quickly. What a ridiculous statement

I have to admit I have not listened to other podcasts. This article is what got my attention and I do intend to look into it some more, because the accusations and then the guilty verdict seemed so bizarre. Soon as I get a chance I will look int...

It almost sounds like you're saying " nobody does that anymore." Is your belief that it's more important that "the system" places tight controls on all your actions to minimize risk? Because by putting the focus on VUMC and what it could h...

They included a baby that was declining all night, but died 3 minutes into her shift when she arrived on day shift.

Thank you! I saw your comment on another thread - it was the only one expressing doubt. The article was well written and the account was so detailed, I don't think they left anything out in order to hold up the case for doubt. I know that ...

I'm actually surprised and pretty disturbed that so many have said "this could have been me". Like, no - I don't agree with that statement. Critical thinking is the key to safety. Radonda was operating like a robot that day, not mindful o...

Totally agree with you! Also I read somewhere the lawyer should be sanctioned/lectured by the judge for misadvising his client about the terms of the gag order!

I saw his lawyer nod yes when Trump turn back to him and said "I guess, right? I can't even testify..." and then immediately his head shook "no" slightly. Almost like he didn't know what to do with his head in that moment. It kind of went around in ...

What are you looking for in terms of professional growth? If it's the same hospital shouldn't the opportunities be similar? What does the NICU have to offer that the current position does not? And I agree with the others - you've used up...

I don't really have that narrow understanding of what a doctor is. And as previously noted, someone with a doctorate in psychology might present themselves as Dr X in a clinical setting. Context is important. You always want to know what someone's cr...

I think Trump is already established as a racist xenophobe and normalized his racist language to the point where his followers don't seem to be bothered by them

I agree with your comments. I do not think she gave enough attention to the basics, five rights of medication safety. Just glossed over things that I thought were the key factors of her negligence. The things that you do BECAUSE systems fail us...

I just watched it, first time I heard her detail step by step the events that led to the death of Mrs Murphy. My head is spinning

That says enough for me 😉

Wow not a single comment about the State of the Union address.

I wonder if she will mention the five rights

I think that is due to the frustration over the lack of self-reflection/assessment on Radonda's part and of the flocks around her who want to shift blame away from her and disregard appropriate consequences. I think had there been remorse, accep...

Could I suggest that it's not hypocrisy at all. The hospital has an interest in staff being vaccinated in order to protect patients, reduce liability, preserve staff/maintain adequate staffing and probably more reasons. On the other hand, while ...

"My minions will pay"

No one is happy when the opposing party is issues executive orders. But this is what happens when Congress won't do their job

First - can't open that because Fox News now thinks it has to charge for its amazing content. Second - why would anyone expect Biden to know how to wear hard hat? I certainly don't and it doesn't change my opinion of him. Many politicians would ...

I guess I'm a Novid! That's a new one on me, but I have not had it (as far as I know) I hope you have it mild and feel better soon!

You might also consider rehab nursing. Is there any inpatient rehab in your area? That might get your foot inside the door of a hospital environment and give you some time to learn and grow and use some more skills in a lower stress environment
