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.

    it’s not targeted, it’s just that drugs seem like a better idea the more miserable you are to begin with… so divested locales have it worse.

    also, the poorer you are the better drug dealing seems.

      It is targeted in the sense that conservative areas are less likely to have treatment programs, drug safety testing programs, clean needle programs, or safe use sites.

        Are you suggesting that conservatives are actively supporting and advocating for public health and mitigation measures such as you mentioned but are not getting them as part of a targeted campaign?

          No, I’m suggesting conservatives are actively supporting and advocating for the continued suffering and death of the poor who are overwhelmingly minorities.
