Nurses Uncorked

EP 35: Dialysis, DaVita, Fresenius and Corruption with Author Tom Mueller - Part 1

PART 1
New York Times best-selling author, Tom Mueller PhD, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss his book about the corruption in the Dialysis industry. The book is titled, How to Make a Killing:  Blood, Death, and Dollars in American Medicine. 
In the 1960s, dialysis in America was a miracle cure, on the cutting-edge of high-tech medicine. Dialysis represented the first time that doctors had replaced a vital organ with a machine. Dialysis became, in 1972, America’s first (and to date the only) “Medicare for All” condition, when Congress pledged to pay the dialysis treatments of virtually all Americans with kidney failure.
Since then, however, dialysis in America has degraded to 1-size-fits-all, assembly line care. Non-profit centers have been bought up by for-profit firms, eventually creating a duopoly between DaVita Dialysis and Fresenius . Harmful practices such as short, high-speed dialysis sessions (termed “bazooka dialysis” in the book), and the involuntary discharge and subsequent blackballing of dialysis patients, are widespread. Patient outcomes, mortality etc in the US are substantially worse than any other developed nation. Yet at the same time, cost of treatment has skyrocketed.
We dedicate these episodes (part 1 & 2) to those fighting chronic kidney disease; and to the brave dialysis patients, dialysis nurses, techs, and informants who continue to fight.

EP 34: Online Patient Threatens Nurse at Peace Health Southwest Medical Center

Travel RN Coach (@lindseys_leisures), Lindsey, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss her recent viral video in which a patient made alarming threats against their former ER nurse at Peace Health Southwest Medical Center. The repeated threats included very specific identifying details of the nurse's family, begging the question, how were they able to find this information?  
The answer lies in The 21st Century Cures Act, first passed in 2016. Many medical professionals remain unaware of The Cures Act. And patients often do not understand the complications it poses to their care. Why do patients have access to nurses' full names? Is this a safety risk that employers should mitigate? What role do electronic health records, like Epic, Cerner, or Meditech play? Should patients have real-time access to their medical records?
Join us as we break down The Cures Act and it's ramifications.

EP 33: Infant Decapitated During Birth - New Information!

DISCLAIMER:  This episode discusses graphic details of a case involving fetal death and decapitation during the labor process. Listener discretion is advised. 
This is a follow up to episode #6 (link below).
New information has recently been released in the case of the decapitated infant at Southern Regional Medical Center, Atlanta, GA, in July, 2023. Parents allege the OBGYN, Dr. Tracey St. Julian, applied excessive traction to the the baby's head causing it to detach during the labor process. The complaint also alleges the hospital and staff did not disclose the decapitation and the parents were permitted to view their deceased infant only through a window, with the head propped in place. Nurse Jessica Sites, a labor & delivery nurse of 22 years, lends her expertise in this area.
Since the original episode aired, the medical examiner recently released the manner of death as homicide. Additionally, a second civil law suit has been filed against the pathologist for allegedly posting autopsy photos on social media. We also dive into recent interviews with the parents and attorney, both of whom seem to indicate the nurses may be at fault. Will this be another case of nurses being criminally prosecuted?

EP 32: Criminally Charged Nurse Michelle Heughins Speaks Out

DISCLAIMER:  This episode discusses the in custody death of an inmate and the events leading up to it. Listener discretion is advised. 
In December, 2019 Forsyth County jail inmate, John Neville allegedly fell off his top bunk and exhibited seizure like symptoms. Five correctional officers and one correctional nurse, Michelle Heughins RN, a correctional nurse on duty, responded to his cell. He was held down prone by the officers. The nurse was often not granted access to Neville, who was first responsive and fighting, then later becoming unresponsive. Upon finding the patient had no pulse and was not breathing, Nurse Heughins called for an AED and began CPR. Neville died of positional asphyxiation two days later in the hospital. The five officers and one nurse were criminally charged with involuntary manslaughter. However the Grand Jury decided to ONLY indict the nurse. 
Correctional nurse, Michelle Heughins RN, joins Nurses Uncorked to tell her story, the three year court battle, and the outcome of her case. This is a story of courage and resiliency, but also a story of the ongoing persecution of nurses.

EP 30: Signs and Symptoms of Nursing Burnout With Masshole McGuido RN

DISCLAIMER:  This episode discusses the subject of suicide. Listener discretion is advised. If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. 
We are having the crucial conversation about nursing burnout or what we like to refer to as moral injury. We discuss the well known and the not so well known signs and symptoms of burnout and how workplace violence plays a role in it. @themassholemcguido (@themcguidonurse) is back by popular demand to weigh in on this and the alarming suicide rate among nurses. What should you do if you are experiencing any of these signs? Is it okay to leave the toxic job or even the profession? And just how common is moral injury and suicide in nurses? As usual we add in some humor to this heavy subject (because nurses always have a dark sense of humor). This is an important episode for new nurses, experienced nurses, and loved ones of nurses.

EP 28: The Truth About the 2022 National Nurses March in DC - PART 2

PART 2
It has been nearly two years since the National Nurses March in DC on May 12, 2022. We have stayed silent long enough.
Why was there two separate nurse marches the same day in Washington DC? Why did the march keep changing it's name? Were the accusations of racism true? Why didn't the march(s) accomplish anything? Why didn't any nursing associations support it? Has there ever been a successful nurses march in Washington DC? How could that many nurses show up the same day in DC and have nothing to show for it? Why was this opportunity/this moment in time squandered? Will we ever have another opportunity like this with the same momentum? We are answering all this and more.
Nurse Nina (@itsnursenina) joins Nurses Uncorked for part 2 of this two-part podcast to share what she experienced firsthand throughout the planning of the march. Nurse Jessica, Nurse Nina and Nurse Erica witnessed the unraveling behind the scenes, each from very different perspectives and involvement. After being bullied to keep quiet for nearly two years, it is time to tell the truth. For the first time ever, we are speaking publicly about what really took place and the abusive allegations one march made in an attempt at damage control against anyone that spoke out.

EP 26: Exclusive Interview With Nurse Sybil Garbow, Just Released From Prison.

Fresh out of prison, Nurse Sybil Garbow and her husband, Michael, sit down for an exclusive interview with Nurses Uncorked. 
Sybil has worked as a dedicated nurse for over 40 years without incident. But that didn't stop a jury from finding the 72 year old nurse guilty of felony assault against another nurse, a coworker, and sentenced her to six months in prison, five years probation and $51,000 in restitution. 
The incident occurred in 2021, in the wake of the George Floyd and Daunte Wright cases. Sybil, an African American nurse was accused of assaulting a white nurse. She says she feels she was treated differently as a black woman with an all white jury, in a county that is 80% white. Sybil contends she acted in self-defense. 
SYBIL CAN NO LONGER WORK AS A NURSE BUT STILL HAS TO PAY OVER $51,000 IN COURT ORDERED RESTITUTION. NURSES UNCORKED DONATED $500 AND WE ARE CALLING ON EVERYONE TO DONATE ANY AMOUNT YOU CAN. $1, $5, $20, ANYTHING IS APPRECIATED. PLEASE HELP HER BY DONATING BELOW:
