Trigger Warning!

This episodes discusses cases of infant demise and child exploitation

 

Huddle updates! In this episode, Jessica and Erica discuss four separate recent cases involving medical professionals. The first case involves the death of actor Matthew Perry, where five people, including two doctors, have been charged in connection with his death due to a ketamine overdose. The second case involves a doctor in Connecticut who is accused of pulling on an infant's head over 15 times with a vacuum during delivery, resulting in the baby's death. The hosts discuss the importance of following proper procedures and advocating for patients in these situations. The third case involves a nurse manager at Duke Health in North Carolina who is charged with over 20 counts of child exploitation. The fourth case involves the body of patient found in cold storage one year after the hospital said she checked out AMA. They end with a feel good story update on the vandalism of a Mary Seacole statue.
