So the media is choosing to focus on this case. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12863901/Nurse-healthcare-worker-illegally-drugged-patients-Blackpool-stroke-ward-amusements-jailed-total-ten-years-two-months.html
Not denying the appalling evil behavior of the staff involved but the fact the media are choosing to splash coverage makes me think the midazolam deaths are going to be laid at the feet of nursing staff to keep doctors hands clean? This story sets a narrative of nurses drugging patients for a quiet life. The midazolam scandal is beginning to gain attention so it’s going to have to spun in some way to protect the PTBs and what better way than for doctors to blame the clinical judgment of subordinate nurses for patient deaths???
Also, do nurses carry malpractice insurance like the docs?
Probably all the same insurance providers as the hospital, but they may save some real cash, increase premiums, and gain customers if the nurses end up with this on them.
They can carry personal liability insurance. I pay for a 1mil/6 mil policy annually for my love.
The malpractice insurance is via the NHS https://www.nmc.org.uk/registration/joining-the-register/professional-indemnity-arrangement/
