In court yesterday, her attorney said she had a 'profound' history of mental health problems. He said they would have contributed to the crash, and asked for her arraignment to be delayed until October.

Not very informative.

[AppyPappy]

Another massacre by someone who is mentally-ill.

[fwdude]

I asked the question in the title, and then I saw her picture. NOW it all makes sense.

[ConservativeMind]

Hospitals need patients and she was just helping out.

You have to wonder where these people come from. Nobody would write a fictional book where a character had 13 prior convictions/instances.

[Deo volente]

There’s another bond hearing on Monday the 15th where her lawyers will attempt to get that reduced. I’ll be interested to see how this case proceeds. There’s already talk of a long history of mental illness, which begs the question, how did she ever get to be an ICU nurse? Also 13 previous car accidents, how did she keep her driver’s license? Many questions here.

[TexasFreeper2009]

have you ever watched that horders show? A LOT of those people who live in MOUNTAINS of garbage are NURSES!!!

it’s no wonder hospitals are filled with drug resistant germs! the nurses live in garbage!

Whenever a pro gun control anti NRA rally occurs the fools who participate are too stupid to realize they are more likely to be injured or worse driving to and from a rally then they are facing the business end of a firearm.
Everyone and their brother has dash cams, iPhones, Androids. Not to mention surveillance cameras on so many buildings you'd drive by. We can record each other at will. Yet there's more car crash vids out there than one could watch in a lifetime. You'd think people would be more inclined to drive carefully and behave themselves,but, NOPE!😖😖🤬

she has a “get out of responsibility” trump card....... melanocyte edition.

I am a retired nurse. Once you get your license, no questions are asked about mental status .The only way a nursing board finds out that a nurse is mentally ill is if someone reports it, like a coworker. An arrest record can be discovered if you are a traveler working in a different state ( applying for a first time license in that state)because usually they will do a criminal record search. But that only works initially, once you have your license they don’t check.

My daughter graduated college with a nursing degree specializing in the NICU ward 4 years ago. She’s an RN that has offers thrown her way every week or so by the traveling nurse companies because she was looking for another position a few months ago.

Some of the $$ numbers bandied around with the benefits thrown in were quite impressive, more than her old man makes now which makes me VERY happy. If it wasn’t for being married and having a 2 and 1 year old she would have jumped at some of them.

I actually wish she would TBH, she wanted to make a difference so she left the premier children’s hospital in Indy and went with a smaller group that is located on the east side of the city.

The stories of the babies born by horribly diabetic women is bad, but the amount of babies born with drug dependencies, especially heroin, is what really breaks your heart, going through withdraw just after their first breath of air.

Had she used an AR to do extract the exact same outcome though, oh man would the press be treating that differently...

[sit-rep]

Because she is black

Why was she allowed behind the wheel let alone to treat people in the ICU?

I don't know about "behind the wheel" - but the ICU was undoubtedly short-staffed.

[wally_bert]

One of my nurses during the 2 weeks and change of IICU was a traveling contract type. I vaguely remember talking about the traveling.

She was super nice and out of all the ones that took care of me, hers is the only name I can remember. Everybody was great at the hospital.

My home nurse afterwards for wound vac support was way better than I could have hand picked.

[jpp113]

Mainly because the commie soros DA is facing a recall election...otherwise he’d let her go

[Churchillspirit]

"At least she won't be able to do this again"

Hopefully.

[RedMonqey]

Stephen King’s book “Misery” comes close. She was a suspect in many deaths at the hospitals she worked at and was fired but not charged. IIRC

[ronniesgal]

nurse with mental health issues. Oh, goody.
