MISC. A Virginia man inadvertently left his phone recording while he was under anesthesia for a colonoscopy, which captured audio of the doctors: mocking him, instructing a medical assistant to lie to him, and discussing giving him a false diagnosis of hemorrhoids. In 2015, a jury awarded him $500,000.

The most insane person I know is considered an excellent nurse. He cant stay in the same town for more than a year without the mask slipping. Hospitals are desperate, so he keeps getting hired despite the concerning number of moves. Oh well.

Yep. My wife has a family member who are/were nurses and are certified psychopaths/sociopaths. They betray/steal from people in every job they have ever worked. They have been arrested for embezzlement from churches. The only thing that kept them out of prison was family connections.
