Quick search...he killed at least 2.

Right next door in Minnesota a female Dem judge released a retarded Somali man (not sure of his citizenship status) who had tried to kidnap a little girl.

He will serve no jail time and will be reunited with the community due to his metal condition.

Mental…

The foot was necrotic (dead) and held to the leg by one tendon and few inches of skin.

What she did was tasteless and beyond her position to make that decision, but the primary physician who allowed the dead lump to remain attached to the poor guy is the one who should have been in court for malpractice and negligence.

That foot staying on him too long is most likely the cause of death, where the body had a circulatory dead end to struggle with while overtaxing the heart.

I would not call it a “amputation”.

She probably got a pair of scissors and cut the few inches of dead skin and the tendon pulled off the bone.

The smell of the dead foot must have been pretty bad.

"The foot was necrotic (dead) and held to the leg by one tendon and few inches of skin."

Given the state of the wound this seems to fall more on the side of debraidment than amputation. She should still have brought him in for a Surgeon to do the procedure, If she had documented what she was doing and treated the foot as medical waste instead of a display trophy there probably would not have been much of an issue.

The young guy was in hospice care, there would not be any surgeons or ER care for his feet at that time.

From the looks of that woman she may have just been hungry.

The young guy was 62...How old are you?

I did say to bring him in to a surgeon, not bring the surgeon to him. More for forms sake to protect her Nursing license as he was dying.

His feet had become necrotic — remaining attached to his leg by only a tendon and two inches of skin

Amputation would seem to be indicated here. The taxidermy part is sick ...

67

And the rules of hospice care is that there will be no medical intervention.

No amber lamps or ER.

Curious if any poster to thread had read the posted excerpt.

This forum is swamped with morons who only read headlines and then post kneejerk reactions ...

I was the first.

See post 46 of 55. Again, I did not think that particular action was a major problem except for the bizzarre taxidermy issue. (Was she just making a grim joke? Might be something you do to deal with working in a house of death.)

I would only say doctors or the family's input might have saved her some legal bills and protected her nursing license.
