OMG, I guess I it's my fault for mentioning her in my post. Oh, well people can't see the big picture of what's happening and that's not my fault. ?‍♀️

This is my last time I comment about this case. These kinds of incidents come to find out are not that uncommon and so she isn't as much of an outlier as you might think. So... if you can't understand what that means don't bother reading further. Th...

Thanks for the input. I needed to know the difference between reckless homicide and negligent homicide. ?

Hey, is this right that the family didn’t know about the actual cause of death until a year later? Does anyone know if hospital administration overseeing the medication error or the physician overseeing her care are getting criminally charged for wit...

Look at the article Juan de la cruz replied to me about med errors of inattentional-blindness. If that's a thing, then crud. The only thing I can think of is that certain medications for sure need hard stops and a second RN.

Thanks again for sharing. I wonder if anyone will bring inattentional-blindness into the courtroom. Super scary even for those who are being careful. I see more why certain medications need that second nurse and maybe my suggestion of a hard stop? ?

That's awesome and hard work too. I wonder if you aren't on something there about a possible downside of all the technology. Maybe it takes some of the thinking out of medication administration? Especially when you are trying to cut corners when you'...

Woah, wait! I was trying to prevent unintentional med errors. If someone wants a medication like a paralytic with the intent of harm well there isn't a whole lot you can do especially if they work in a unit that has access. By the way that person sho...

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. In a way all med errors are "reckless" not just the ones that end in death. Trust me, this is a huge wake up call for me. I no longer work in an area that this magnitude of a med error could occur. I ...

To answer the question the article originally was asking, I would suggest maybe a specific override code for paralytic medications. In hopes this may decrease the human error chance a bit because we all know that alarm fatigue is a real thing. (where...

Thank you for sharing. This is a bit more helpful. I guess to know this kind of case isn't the first time kind of puts my decision into perspective. I've worked in all kinds of areas. Including an ER where medications were not scanned. Right now I w...

You're completing missing the point. Think about it. This isn't about her. This is about the charges brought against her. When you make your first med error let me know how you think about what she did. You'll learn all medication errors are made in ...

OH MY GOSH THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His second video has been my whole point all along. Reading this responses and the responses people had to my comments was fr...

Thank you for your response. I appreciate the definition of reckless homicide. Really does scare me though because really all medication errors could fit in that definition if they lead to death. Just a side note though, I was told by coworkers that ...

I've been thinking more about this. Can anyone tell me why this is a criminal charge instead of malpractice? Is there more to this than just a medication error leading to death? Was she intentional in trying to hurt this person or something else that...

Me neither. I'm seriously looking into another career starting today. Maybe rash and over dramatic for some, but not illogical to me. Really think about your day and the factors that play against you to make mistakes and then think if it's possible t...

Even you say negligence not reckless homicide. I think that is what shocks most people. That a med error which leads to death and this could be you.

Thank you. I was curious to see how all this went down. I guess in the end it doesn't matter.

Look I appreciate the question of basically asking how could we prevent this from happening again? An important question that needs to be asked to hopefully narrowing the percentage of lethal errors occurring. Listen though, the most important part o...

Thank you!! Someone gets it!!

How was the District Attorney notified?

Question, who brought these charges against her?

Goodness, I can't get over this nurse is going to jail. You all really think about that. May be your next shift you could be in her shoes. ?

Yikes. ?

I sure hope you're just trolling Wuzzie and don't really think you're above this woman's mistake. Yikes!
