Raynaldo Ortiz was being reprimanded because he made to many mistakes resulting in harm to patients.
So he had the brilliant idea of poisoning random IV bag so other doctors in the hospital would have people die under their care as well.
If you think this is nuts, you are right.
If you think this is evil, you are right.
If you think he was the only person out there to do this, I have some very bad news for you.
Repeat treatments is a gold mine in medicine.
How did the investigators track it back to Ortiz?
My wife is an RN in a surgical ward.
She has been routinely testing IV bags for punctures for awhile now. She has found some with hypodermic needle sized holes in the bag.
Scary stuff.
Reminds me of that airline pilot in Connecticut that fed his wife into a wood-chipper (idea borrowed for "Fargo").
He was flying passenger jets around the country after he did the deed. Not nice to find out your doctor or pilot is insane.
Thats still no reason not to ram fiery red hot pokers into his eyes, is it?
