Plague Problems Part 1 - Pandemic Crimes

While the world was banging pots and calling nurses heroes, a few were out there committing side quests no one asked for. In this episode, we dig into the pandemic nurse crimes that made 2020 even weirder: stolen credit cards from intubated patients, Facebook confessions no lawyer could survive, and “end-of-life decisions” that absolutely should’ve involved a doctor. We unpack how burnout, chaos, and understaffed nursing homes turned bad judgment into full-blown felonies—served with our signature dark humor and clinical side-eye.
