Inside sources within Asante have since disclosed details surrounding the reported deaths, per NBC5 News. It is alleged that up to 10 patients died of infections contracted at the hospital.
The sources claim the infections were caused by a nurse who purportedly substituted medication with tap water.
It is alleged that the nurse was attempting to conceal the misuse of the hospital’s pain medication supply — specifically fentanyl — and intensive care unit patients were injected with tap water, causing infections that resulted in fatalities.
Medford police have confirmed their active investigation into the situation at the hospital but have refrained from providing specific details.
The sources indicate that the unsterile tap water led to pseudomonas, a dangerous infection, especially for individuals in poor health, commonly found in a hospital’s ICU.
No. Working in the medical field shouldn’t mean having a destroyed personal life better fucking healthxare insurance complex refuses to train and retain more workers. Tell you what, the day I get to call up the CEO of Aetna or some other heakth insurance company and tell him he has to report to duty is the day you can demand thee same from nurses.
I don’t think Health Insurance should exist as an industry, tbh. Let’s just move to single payer and spend the excess funds saved by cutting out the middlemen on paying medical professionals and teachers.
If you don’t want the lifestyle of a nurse or doctor then do not become a nurse or doctor, clearly it’s not a good fit for the lesser parts of the population. Idiots need not apply.
