Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Susan Marguerite Nelles (born in Belleville, Ontario) was charged with murdering four babies in 1981, when she worked as a nurse at Toronto''s Hospital for Sick Children. She was ultimately exonerated. The hospital investigated the cause of infant deaths in the cardiac unit, using an experimental, inappropriate testing method. The test indicated that as many as 43 babies were poisoned with the heart medication digoxin. Police determined that Susan Nelles had been scheduled to work at the times that 23 of the deaths occurred. They arrested and charged her with the deaths of four babies. The deaths then stopped. However, Nelles had not been on duty for several of the infant deaths, because she swapped shifts with other nurses who had access to the same medication. Although the deaths ended after Nelles''s arrest, the hospital had introduced restrictions for access to digoxin and had implemented a policy that kept infants in intensive care longer. Total deaths between the two units remained identical.
