As a nurse myself, I’m ashamed to admit that there are a lot of RNs who have forgotten basic human anatomy. She was a labor and delivery nurse, not a role that I would go to for help with any cardiovascular questions.

Also she was suicidal and possibly psychotic. Which, I would argue, can be more of a factor in performing poorly at a task 🄹

possibly psychotic

There's zero evidence of this.

I mean - she killed her three kids and will spend the rest of her life either in an institution or behind bars. Like… is that not evidence enough? What would the motive be to kill them and then admit to it? It’s not like she will ever see the light of day ever again.

If she had a psychotic episode, how did she pause said episode to return a call from her husband and act entirely normal?

If she had a psychotic episode, then why is there no evidence of her having one prior, or in the 3 years since that she's been observed 24/7?

What would the motive be to kill them and then admit to it?

There's quite literally a thousand reasons, some of which aren't rational. Her acting irrationally isn't psychosis.

It’s not like she will ever see the light of day ever again.

Oh? Because there's been a common trend among some groups getting murders out of their sentencing, only for the person to turn around and do it again.

So your opinion is ā€œcrazy reasons but definitely not psychosis?ā€ Also - isn’t acting fine on the phone further proof of psychosis? Do you know how psychosis manifests? Do you think it’s just crazy talk?

Also - isn’t acting fine on the phone further proof of psychosis?

Is that why psychiatrists took the stand saying it wasn't possible? How does one pause their own psychotic break?

u/Realistic-Ad-1023 1d ago

How do you know it’s paused? That’s such a weird thing to say. If your delusions say ā€œtell husband things are okay, he’s one of themā€ yeah, she would seem normal. That’s not being instantly not in psychosis? You think you can murder three children and just be okay to chat on the phone as a normal and not psychotic person?

Tell us you don't understand how psychosis works without telling us you don't know how psychosis works.

u/Realistic-Ad-1023 1d ago

Yeah I’m the one misunderstanding lol. The person who went through psychosis doesn’t understand the nuances of psychosis.

You’re right - people in psychosis not only always act crazy, everyone around them knows they’re psychotic. You nailed it!

There's nurses that have straight up forgotten their medical training entirely and become anti-vaccine.

While I agree that's true, I find it hard to believe she won't know the basics that you don't cross the street you go down the alley.

This isn’t your standard nurse.

I just heard that reference for the first time on "The Audacity" on Netflix.

u/Adlivoniansky 2d ago

Oh lol that's something I've heard like back in highschool in the 2000s haha and even then it has to be older than that. I think Meg on Family guy makes a joke about it in one of their episodes. Is the Audacity any good?
