No "mother of the year" award here

Yeah that's crazy, and she deserves to be in jail, but when I worked at UPMC (yes, I worked for that healthcare system), I heard rumors of a DOCTOR in an ICU disconnecting a patient's fentanyl pca (patient controlled analgesic) while they were sleeping, and were caught SUCKING on the tubing with the medication inside. From the stories I heard, they were fired on the spot, and were awaiting trial. My point is, this kind of stuff probably happens more than we like to think. By the way, when I worked there I was a Nursing assistant, now I'm an RN.
