Yeah what’s up with that? I started out a CNA and you take vitals, do bed pans, input, output, make beds, not much else. How is she administering insulin? Just did it? Odd, med nurse would be missing meds?
My opinion? Reta Mays didn’t kill all those people by herself, she had help. Maybe Med. Assistant who had a similarly twisted idea of what ‘compassion’ means.
Perhaps the Med. Assistant had the drugs but lacked the nerve to actually do something for real. The truth will come out, though the general public is not likely to hear it.
She could have taken a family member’s insulin. You can buy it without a prescription. Or maybe that VA hospital was so badly run that anyone could grab the insulin and no one noticed it was going missing.
You can or could buy insulin over the counter at Walmart. Talk about scary!
Certified nursing assistants in many states are able to pass medications, with an extra 6 week course of study. I don’t know which States also allow this to include injectable meds such as insulin. As far as missing doses, insulin is highly concentrated -— a little goes a long way; it would take a while to notice any missing.
