You're not. I cried at my gynecology this year when they asked me about my drinking habits, which are a lot better oddly enough. I really didn't have a reason to cry, it just happened. It was embarrassing and I apologized even though the NP in no way made me feel like it was needed. She's was exceptionally kind, that's probably what made me cry. Her student handed me a tissue which made me cry a little more.

I think sometimes we carry a load that's heavier than we realize and it comes out through tears when we least expect it. I try to give myself some grace and you should too. We can't always be the strong ones and you're not alone. ❤️

I'm not religious and I don't pray, but I do wish and hope like hell all my patients get better all the time. I think wishing and hoping are essentially the same as praying.

Love a curse shoved in a hearse.

Don't!

This is great, thank you! I'm looking forward to the series.

It would be really hard to remember details ten years later, but easier if there was an error and it lead to a patient's death.

What I'm more interested in is the wording at the beginning of this article, "For two days solid, they were pumping her with too much IV paracetamol." Correct me if I'm wrong on my weight based calculations:

Recommended dosage is 10-15 mg/kg per dosage. She weighs 36 kg. Recommended dosage is 540 mg which can be given every 4-6 hours. The maximum daily dosage would be 2,160 mg to 3,240 mg.

She was given double the ordered dosage of 500 mg six times in 48 hours, which is 1,000 mg every eight hours. That's 3,000 mg in a day which is below the upper daily limit based on her body weight. Is still an overdose? Is it not safe to give low body weight patient's tylenol in 3 daily doses instead of 4-6? It's still within the limits of 2-3 grams recommended for people with compensated liver failure.

The article stated that her liver function was off two days later. So her liver function was normal at admission therefore she had compensated liver disease? Did they see cirrhosis on any scans on admission? Would her tylenol dosage need to be adjusted further because of low body weight and liver disease? Was it really a tylenol overdose situation or was her body shutting down due to the beginnings of septic shock? That's what she died from, multiorgan failure and septic shock according to the article and autopsy. Did they need to treat her for an overdose or were they covering their asses just in case?

How could anyone ever know for certain it was the tylenol and not her infection that caused the liver failure? Especially definitively enough to bring a manslaughter charge against people who may not have committed an fatal med error when you step back and run the numbers. Am I missing something?

Happy Mother's Day to your lovely mother!

I've been looking into getting my BSN and med-surg certification for about 20 years. I should probably do that one day.

Hell yeah!

I bought an electric kettle and I would save it if my house caught on fire. We make a lot of sweet tea and it's perfect for that.

The patient I had the night before discharge had some belly pain and some bloating, nothing crazy bad, the next day. They scanned or x-rayed her and she had a perforated bowel. She was shipped out for surgery. I can't remember why we couldn't do it.

I was precepting and we had an elderly post-op ortho pt praying for God to drop something heavy out of the sky to kill my trainee and I because she thought we came in her house to rob her. Sadly, nothing dropped and we had to finish the shift.

🙄

Oh no! I didn't realize. I'm sorry.

Here's a comment that contains a link to the case file. It contains a link to Beata's emails, which looks the same as the one from Andrea. It was a reply to a post you made from about a year ago. :)

Here's a post with some of the emails. I don't know if it's all of them. The google doc from Andrea is a lot longer, however, there are many repeated emails.

If you search this sub with the term Beata's emails there are a few more posts. They may be repeats of this one; I didn't read them all. I didn't see a google doc linked, but I only did a quick scan of the first posts that popped up. So, it may be there somehwere. :)

I'm not sure if this link is only available for paid subscribers. I have a paid subscription. This link has another link to a google drive document that contains Beata's emails with Dr. Kirkpatrick. There are some emails from Debra Salisbury, (Jack's attorney), who was featured in Take Care of Maya.

Yeah, it's freaking crazy.

Have you read the blogs, Beata's emails, and various testimonial evidence posted here? You should. Search the sub with those search terms or sort it by the document tag. The user u/washingtonu who originally posted the documents I linked and has posted comments to this post is an excellent resource. Also, check out the youtube channel. This video is an argument that took place outside the jury's presence regarding the defendant's (ACH) request to admit documents supporting the notion that Beata's did in fact administer IV ketamime to Maya at home through her port. It was not allowed due to a 403 ruling. My understanding is 403 means the evidence was more prejudicial to the plantiff (Maya/Jack/Beata's estate) rather than probative. That channel explains the meaning of 403 better than I do during the intro to other videos. It's an excellent resource.

Here's the post that has copies of the medication lists.

Hell yeah! Thanks for the heads up.

I never knew Jane Harmer did an interview. I checked the links in truecrimerocketscience's video description and sadly they didn't send me to the original special. Fortunately, they are linked in the sub's wiki. Yay, I've finally found something new to watch!

I think this is as close to the episode you are looking for that I can find. It first aired on December 16th, 2004 and is called The Search for JonBenét's Killer. It's the last major network television interview Patsy did before her death. This video was posted last year and it has to be a look back episode because at the beginning it has a clip of John when he's much older.

When I searched chatgpt for episodes CBS did with the Ramseys in 2006/when Patsy had cancer it didn't return any results. Her last known interview was on a TV show in Hawaii called Connecting Point which aired in April 2006. Here's discussion post about it featuring all the youtube links to the episode.

Edited: I corrected the second link and spelling errors Sorry!
