One of my best friends clerked at a medical-malpractice firm, and they defended a nurse who - well, you've heard of Coke-bottle glasses? Her glasses were as thick as the bottle itself, not just the bottom.

This virtually blind nurse was making night rounds, and when she visited one patient, he had shuffled off this mortal coil; she failed to detect it, and wrote on his chart that he was "resting peacefully."

Which he was, I guess.

If he had already kicked the bucket, what was the basis for the lawsuit?
It's not as if she was capable of raising the dead.

(Granted, I doubt that I'd want her caring for ME, if my life was hanging by a thread. But an incompetent act after the fact doesn't seem like very weighty evidence.)
