Typically nurses come b/w the physician and the patient and our ability to decipher if treatment is effective or not can often be too clear; and many times we just don’t know. When we put our experience to use we can find some of the most horrible cases of abuse which is a major problem for honesty. I know many nurses don’t move toward known crimes against pts., but I did and against all odds. Practicing physicians have a protective war chest of lawyers and judges whom get paid to protect them.
My crimes against them were to use social media to tell the story of how a surgeon of gross incompetence was able to continue to destroy lives after known wrongful deaths cases were won against him.
My violation of law revolved around continued writing on social media after court order to stop. The truth is and only the truth, I never left the keyboard to commit my crimes. Most physicians are dedicated to follow their best intentions, but their world can destroy their own honesty. It is where the fallen don’t hit the ground but are allowed to continue to generate $$ and destroy lives. Some physicians fall to alcohol and drugs which is far from rare.. Careers and lives are lost. I’m a nurse, not a Saint. And a veteran. Death I’m trained for, oddly karma got there before I could do more crimes. It really did. The answer to this prompt of unintentionally committed crimes was I actually thought telling the truth was legal. It is not.
