    5 things would have detered nurse from killing

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    I think we can probably assume the the woman was crazy. She had no logical motive to kill these people. I'm no psychiatrist, but the one who was seeing her wasn't very perceptive at all, and my layman...
