Best In Codes Part 1 - Kristen Gilbert
from Nurses Are Terrible People Too Hosted by Terrible Nurses LLC
In this episode, we dive into the bonkers true crime case of Kristen Gilbert, the VA nurse whose arrival on the evening shift magically made the unit’s death rate triple—then drop back to normal the moment she left. As patients coded whenever she “flushed an IV,” epinephrine kept disappearing, and coworkers joked she had a black cloud, Kristen was quietly becoming one of America’s most notorious hospital serial killers. A darkly funny, horrifying look at medical murder, statistical red flags, and the world’s worst example of “nursing intuition.” Brought to you by our alleged sponsor: Dialycat UCLA- STATISTICS IN THE COURTROOM United States v.
