Inside sources within Asante have since disclosed details surrounding the reported deaths, per NBC5 News. It is alleged that up to 10 patients died of infections contracted at the hospital.

The sources claim the infections were caused by a nurse who purportedly substituted medication with tap water.

It is alleged that the nurse was attempting to conceal the misuse of the hospital’s pain medication supply — specifically fentanyl — and intensive care unit patients were injected with tap water, causing infections that resulted in fatalities.

Medford police have confirmed their active investigation into the situation at the hospital but have refrained from providing specific details.

The sources indicate that the unsterile tap water led to pseudomonas, a dangerous infection, especially for individuals in poor health, commonly found in a hospital’s ICU.

      probably something like involuntary manslaughter as opposed to literal premeditated murder, but yes serious jail time is warranted

        In my state I think “reckless manslaugher” might be apt:

        • You caused the death of another person; and

        • You were aware of and showed a conscious disregard of a substantial and unjustifiable risk of death.

        jesus christ, what a fucked up court system we have…
        at any rate, the incredibly evil nurse from yale at least refilled them with sterile saline solution, and didn’t kill 10 people… or any people…
        i think that’ll make a difference…
