A Wisconsin nurse who amputated a patient’s frostbitten foot without authorization and planned to use it as a ghoulish display in her family’s taxidermy shop was given a sweetheart plea deal in which she’ll serve no time in prison and pay just $443 in court costs.
Mary K. Brown, 40, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of negligently abusing a 62-year-old patient at Spring Valley Senior Living and Healthcare Campus in 2022 for the rogue surgical procedure.
The patient died days later, though no definitive link was made between his death and the amputation, according to a criminal complaint.
She was initially charged with intentionally causing great bodily harm and mayhem and physically abusing an elder person, but the felonies, which could have each carried a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison, were dismissed after pleading guilty to lesser charges.
The victim, Doug McFarland, was being treated for severe frostbite in both feet after suffering a fall in his home. His feet had become necrotic — remaining attached to his leg by only a tendon and two inches of skin — and he was moved to hospice care, according to KSTP.
After cutting off his right foot — which she referred to as “mummy feet” — she told nursing home colleagues she planned to preserve the foot and display it in a taxidermy shop owned by her family as a graphic warning about the dangers of frostbite.
She planned to display a sign with the foot that said, “Wear your boots, kids,” according to the charges.

This sick vile woman should have been sentenced to a very long time in prison!
Those crazy cheeseheads.
“I want to play a game.”
Jigsaw’s sister?
Toe cheeseheads?
God women get off so lightly on stuff that kills other people.
Unbelievable! Both her crazy actions and the light sentence. She should be sitting in prison for something like this.
It’s the vagina defense if somebody did that to me I’d put them in the dirt
Its sickening, and so tired to see again and again, these blatant double standards in the law.
You would not think “unappreciated amputation” would be something one had to be wary of, after placing your beloved “Aunt Bee” in the nearest Hospice.
Looking at her picture, she will have the same problem in 20 years due to diabetes. Her face looks like a compressed air line got stuck in her mouth.
If a man did this, I’ll bet he would be jailed for a spell.
I can relate, I haven’t quite got the CPAP dialed in...
He didn't get a vote.
A rather long spell, I would suspect.
How long until she and 'her community' ask for civil rights protections based on bias against 'her type'?
Her type who have always wanted to mutilate people who can't fight back. Her 'type' who have felt that way since there were very young?
I'll bet she's a democrat.
“This sick vile woman should have been sentenced to a very long time in prison!”
...and she gets to vote in this country.
