While I agree with you that the courts determined it could not be proven and gave it no merit, I do not think that you are considering that no one may have bothered to check for injection sites, bruising, etc. because of her husband's orders. Insulin is easy to come by and anyone can buy syringes and so forth. With MS's medical training he may have known how to disguise his actions as well. I am not saying that he is guilty of this but, at this point, I would not be surprised to find it true. Why the nurse didn't come forward or report this, I don't know. Fear maybe? He has admitted to verbally abusing the nursing staff.

It depends on the environment of the facility.

I worked in a combo hospital-nursing home many years ago, and the administrator saw herself as someone akin to Evita or Scarlette O'Hara. There was such a cult of personality around her that people were either living in fear or willing to do anything for her and the facility. Behind closed doors, she was as quite scary.

As bizarre as it sounds, I can see this happening in the right setting.

"Why the nurse didn't come forward or report this, I don't know. Fear maybe?"

Well, according to the one affadavit, the nursing staff were threatened with loss of their jobs if they challenged. For a nurse, that would be a bad thing to have on your record.
