My thoughts are as follows:
I did suspect this woman of grandstanding. However, in light of MS's most recent public statement where he admitted to verbally abusing the nursing staff ( his concerns for Terri, ya know ) maybe, if he denied any of this verbal abuse as well as Nurse Carla's claims she has something important to say as that would be proof of his perjury. Then I would consider that Nurse Carla may very well be teling the truth.
My mother was an R.N in CA and some of the horror stories that came out about wrong medicines being given out and other things are pretty bad.
My sis was recently in a CA hospital and the nurses were not checking her in/put out/put there was a problem and she got someone to take care of it.
The only way she knew that this was important was due to someone we knew who had recently died in a So CA hospital due to this very thing.
Some of it is due to overworked and understaffed hospitals. The bottom line is the administration of these places want MONEY! That also came directly from my step-father who was head of Urology at Kaiser! And if you make waves you go bye bye!
Pretty Scary Stuff!
