Kasia's Reviews > The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder

Absolutely chilling account of a killing sprees performed by a registered nurse on her most venerable patients. It hits close to home, it really does. All the methods of manipulating medication dispensers on the units, injecting digoxin or insulin into IV bags, or pushing wrong medications directly into patients IVs are still commonly performed and widely accepted on many units, and no one thinks about it twice. Pharmacy sends and restocks medications constantly without second guessing orders. No accountability exist for missing doses or partial doses of narcotics or high risk medications(heparin insulin fentanyl morphine)
In truth, the only factor that decides whether or not patient will live and improve is... the sanity of the nurse that takes care of him.
