So on the CNN website recently it says that President Biden condemned the poison of white supremacy as he honored the 10 Americans that were killed in a racist mass shooting in Buffalo grocery store Saturday. This passed Saturday which now President Biden called for the mass shooting terrorism as he urged the action on assault weapons and effects to address and efforts to address the relentless exploitation of the internet to recruit and mobilize terrorism. 11 of the 13 people shot in the rampage were African American or BIPOC which means black or persons of color. Officials said that the massacre is being investigated as a hate crime by the Justice Department. In a 180 page paper on the internet, the 18-year-old white suspect allegedly detailed how he had been radicalized and described the attack of terrorism and himself as a white supremacist.

For more information on the shooting you can go to www.cnn.com forward slash US Buffalo shooting. Now let's get to the other piece of the show, which is the nurse the nurse probation Yeah. Here we go. No, no, Tennessee. This was Tennessee. Okay, so according to MPR www.nationalpublicradio.org Tennessee nurse convicted a lethal drug error sentenced to three years probation. This is this is as of May 13th, 2022, 450 p.m. according to MPR. Radonda Volk V-A-U-G-H-T a former Tennessee nurse of a hospital convicted of two felonies for a fatal drug error whose trial began in a rallying cry for nurses fearful of the criminalization of medical mistakes. Will not be required to spend time in prison. Okay, so let me explain to everybody what was going on. Basically, the pharmacy or the pharmaceutical machine that dispenses the medication She accidentally quote unquote gave the patient the wrong medication. She put in the first letter of the medication which was V and gave the person a lethal dose because it is lethal. It's the same medication that puts prisoners to sleep in jails. So basically this if you make a mistake. Well, personally, in our opinion, yes, it was a mistake, but get yourself glasses. If you see the medication is wrong, so you won't make a mistake and killed the wrong person. So, Radonda Volk, a former Tennessee nurse convicted of two felonies for the fatal drug error whose trial was a rallying cry for nurses of the criminalization of medical mistakes will not spend time in any prison. Davis and County Tennessee criminal court judge Jennifer Smith on Friday granted vote vote a judicial diversion, which means the convictions will be expunged if she completes a three year probation. Smith said the Murphy family suffered a terrible loss. And nothing that happens here today is an easy loss. Miss vote was well aware of the seriousness of the offense. Like I said, get yourself glasses if you make a mistake. In our opinion, Smith said she credibly expressed remorse in the courtroom. The judge noted that Vaught had no criminal record that has been removed. She's she's no longer working in the healthcare setting and will never practice nursing again. Judge also said this was a terrible, terrible mistake and there have been consequences to the defendant. As the sentence was read, cheers erupted from the crowd and hundreds of purple clad protesters who gathered outside the courthouse in opposition to Vaught's prosecution. Vaught 38, a former nurse at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, faced up to eight years in prison. In March, she was convicted of criminally negligent homicide and gross neglect of an impaired adult in the 2017 death of 75 year old patient Charlene Murphy. Murphy was prescribed VERSED, V-E-S-E-D, a sedative which is known as a sedative, but Vaught inadvertently gave her a fatal dose of vecaronium. V-E-C-U-R-O-N-I-U-M, a powerful paralyzer which they use in prisons. Charlene Murphy's son, Michael Murphy, testified at Friday's sentencing hearing that his family remains devastated by the sudden death of their matriarch. He was a forgiving person who would not want Vaught to serve any prison time. He said, but his widower father wanted Vaught to receive the maximum sentence. My dad suffers every day from this. Michael Murphy said he goes out to the graveyard three or four days a week and just sits there and cries. Vaught's case stands out because of medical errors, even deadly ones. Generally within the purview of state medical boards and lawsuits are almost never prosecuted in criminal court. The Davidson County District Attorney's Office, which did not advocate for any particular sentence or oppose probation, has described Vaught's case as an indictment of one careless nurse, not the entire medical profession. Persecutors argued in trial that Vaught overlooked multiple warning signs that she grabbed the wrong drug, including, to notice, Vaught said, is a liquid and Vercororium is a powder. Vaught admitted that the error was a mix-up and the mix-up was discovered in her defense, largely focused on arguments that an honest mistake should not constitute a crime. Like we said, get yourself glasses. If you can't see the small print on medication, glasses work. But, you know, she's no longer practicing nursing. And the nurse goes on to say, I've lost more than my medical nursing license in my career. She will never be the same person. Vaught said in a voice quivering as she began to cry. When Ms. Murphy died, part of me died with her. At one point during the statement, Vaught turned to face Murphy's family and apologized for both the federal error and the public campaign against her prosecution may have forced the family to believe their loss. So, if you want more information on this case, go to www.nationalpublicradio.org. As far as that is concerned, we understand nurses make mistakes, but when there are fatal errors, you really have to take into account these things. But you must keep your medication labeled properly. If you accident, you know, people do get older. So, people do get older and even patients taking medication make mistakes. So, we would make the suggestion that instead of prescription bottles, get yourself, talk to your local pharmacist in Vermont and beyond, you know, globally, and get yourself bubble packs properly labeled and make sure that they're properly labeled and have somebody help you if you can't do it yourself, but make sure that they are properly labeled. So, you live a long, prosperous life. So, we won't have these negligent mistakes. Anything you want to say before we end? I want to say that I think the nurse should have done some time. Okay. Well, like I said, any nurse should get themselves glasses or get assistance when assisting people with their medication. Again, thank you to our sponsors, Washington County Mental Health, Green Mountain Support Services, and many others, and we would like to say our condolences to anybody who has recently passed away from any medical situation that they could not control.
