“You don’t think of medical professionals doing this, but 10% of medical professionals divert drugs. 10%… That’s a lot.”
That’s an unbelievably high percentage.
Googling around, I see
One in 10 healthcare workers misuse drugs (or alcohol) during their career, which is similar to the percentage seen in the general population; however, the diversion trend is slightly different in healthcare, as workers in this setting are more likely to misuse prescription drugs rather than illicit drugs.
Which is very different from the quote in the article.
I thought she was injecting them with water because she didn’t like them.
She was such an incompetent nurse that she switch the fentanyl for water because she wanted to steal the fentanyl? WTF. Literally anyone could go find that shit on the street in an hour if they wanted to. Hope this mass murderer gets the book thrown at them.
Our demand for nurses is high, and a key part to our current solution is to under-train them, and lower our standards for what it takes to be a nurse, to be about to pump out more at a fast rate.
Source: know a dozen nurses, some who have graduated as recently as this year. The questions in the exams they take are nothing short of ridiculous oftentimes, they’re just checking for a pulse, two brain cells, and a very vague gist of medical concepts behind the minimum on what it takes to know to perform the manual tasks of their job
Why do you think there were so many anti-vax nurses? It’s ignorance paired with the ego inflation they get from people assuming they are more knowledgeable than they are.
Water is more dangerous than fentanyl. Got it.
Edit: I meant this is a joke. Apparently this joke about water was a little too dry.
Water is more dangerous then fent, in your blood.
So when you cut yourself or scrape your knee, dont rinse with water! Rinse with fentanyl. Its safer.
Got a list or map of the fentanyl springs in my area?
it’s the same map as the one with all the hot single moms in your area
Just move to Chicago. They got rid of their acid rain, now it’s just fentanyl rain
Check your downtown neighborhood is my bet.
According to NextDoor, anywhere that has Halloween candy
People here don’t have a sense of humour
Non-sterile tap water being injected to people who are pretty much definitionally very sick.
If you did that to a regular, healthy adult? Likely no big deal, though I certainly wouldn’t recommend it. But to someone, say, recovering from a major surgery who’s in a lot of pain? Extremely bad plan.
So these 9 people could be alive if this nurse/fentanyl thief injected them with saline instead of tap water .
The hospital probably tracks saline bags, but the nurse could have at least invested $1.50 on a bottle of distilled water.
she didn’t just kill 10 people, she caused 10 people to die in agony
I’ve heard about this happening several times over the years, and back in 2022 I had surgery where the fentanyl just didn’t work afterword.
Now I’m wondering if there wasn’t any fentanyl that I was dosed with at all. I’d guess regular saline. 10% of diversions is enormous.
TAP water?
I don’t even DRINK the tap water my city gives out, as I know it causes stomach aches. If a stomach struggles with something, the thought of putting it into someone’s veins… yeesh.
idk why you are getting downvoted. Tap water in a lot of parts of America is polluted from old plumbing, this is established fact. That’s why most people have filters.
Depends on where you are at, but the bigger issue isn’t minerals or even lead. It’s the microbiology both in the water and general environment.
Don’t know why you got downvoted, the article literally states tap water isn’t sterile and will cause major problems.
I suspect it’s people in areas with decent tap water using their personal anecdotes as evidence that tap water doesn’t give stomach aches.
