If a nurse makes a medical error that causes your loved one to get sick or die, should she be held criminally liable and go to prison?
But the prosecutor’s office and the family of the woman who died said it was the right decision.
“The jury’s conviction of Radonda Vaught was not an indictment against the nursing profession or the medical community. This case was, and always has been about the gross neglect by Radonda Vaught that caused the death of Charlene Murphey,” the district attorney’s office said in the statement.Murphey was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with bleeding in her brain at Christmastime in 2017, according to the prosecution’s.
She admitted she should not have overridden the system, though it was common to do so, and should have recognized the difference between the two drugs, according to the TBI report. Funk outlined 18 instances"amounting to gross neglect” that caused Murphey’s death, including Vaught overriding the system, never visually checking the medication, disregarding the sticker that read “Warning: Paralyzing Agent” and not monitoring the patient’s reaction to the drug.
