    Bleach Puh-leeze! - Kimberly Clark Saenz

    Was she calculated… or just unbelievably bold (and bad at crime)?  We’re talking about Kimberly Saenz, a dialysis nurse accused of injecting bleach into patients’ bloodstreams. Yes. Bleach. We break down how dialysis works, how this could even happen, and why it took so long for anyone to stop it — all while asking the question: was she shockingly bold… or just shockingly dumb? Grab your snacks. Maybe not anything potassium-rich.   Brought to you by our alleged sponsor: Horse Nurse   Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Dialysis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw_nqzVfxFQ https://www.oxygen.com/snapped/crime-news/nurse-kimberly-saenz-killed-patients-by-injecting-bleach   Angel of death: Nurse Convicted of Injecting Bleach - Oxygen https://www.oxygen.com/snapped/crime-news/nurse-kimberly-saenz-killed-patients-by-injecting-bleach   CBS News: Jury Finds Texas Nurse Guilty In Bleach Deaths https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/texas-jury-finds-former-nurse-guilty-in-bleach-deaths/ Kimberly Clark Saenz v.

    Starting Season 2 Off On The Wrong Foot

    In this episode, we dive into the disturbing true story of Wisconsin nurse Mary K. Brown, accused of amputating a hospice patient’s frostbitten foot with bandage scissors—without a physician’s order or consent. We break down the medical realities of necrosis, scope-of-practice violations, reporting failures, and the legal aftermath that saw serious felony charges reduced to a misdemeanor plea. It’s a jaw-dropping case of alleged nurse misconduct, healthcare ethics, and system breakdowns—told with the clinical insight and dark humor only real nurses can deliver. Listener discretion advised.

    In this episode, we expose some of the wildest pandemic-era nurse crimes—from a wrench-and-chemical attack at Hackensack to the $1.5 million vaccine-card scam at Wild Child Pediatrics.

    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.   Brought to you by our alleged sponsor: Pharmargerine    Danielle Conti - NY: ABC7 NY - Coronavirus News: Staten Island nurse accused of stealing credit card from patient dying of COVID-19 https://abc7ny.com/danielle-conti-nurse-arrested-steals-from-patient-credit-card-stolen/6161744/  Staten Island Live -COVID shocker: Hospital nurse admits to stealing dying Staten Island patient’s credit card, will lose nurse’s license https://www.silive.com/crime-safety/2021/12/covid-shocker-hospital-nurse-accused-of-stealing-dying-patients-credit-card-admits-to-theft-will-lose-nurses-license.html  WMAR2 Baltimore -New York nurse arrested, accused of stealing credit card of dying COVID-19 patient https://www.wmar2news.com/news/national/coronavirus/new-york-nurse-arrested-accused-of-stealing-credit-card-of-dying-covid-19-patient CBS News - Hospital employee allegedly stole the American Express card of a dying coronavirus patient https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hospital-employee-stole-american-express-credit-card-dying-patient-nyc/   Connie Sneed - Indiana: Indy Star - 'Fly with the angels': Nurse who removed COVID-19 patient's oxygen mask pleads to felony https://www.indystar.com/story/news/investigations/2023/04/17/nurse-who-removed-covid-19-patients-oxygen-at-nursing-home-leads-guilty-to-felony/70117723007/ AP - Indiana nurse in mask case avoids jail time with plea deal https://apnews.com/article/indiana-nurse-pleads-guilty-patients-mask-removed-3173e9f75dacd0598435ade8f555f587 ABC News Channel 20- Indiana nurse allegedly removed COVID-19 patient's oxygen https://newschannel20.com/news/coronavirus/indiana-nurse-allegedly-removed-covid-19-patients-oxygen WLFI 18 - Indiana nurse in mask case avoids jail time with plea deal https://www.wlfi.com/news/indiana-nurse-in-mask-case-avoids-jail-time-with-plea-deal/article_f6ba6702-deb7-11ed-ba6d-8fb77733933b.html

    Hungry Hungry HIPAA Part 2 - Identity Theft

    In this episode, we continue our wild dive into nurse identity theft and financial fraud, featuring nurses (and one very ambitious CNA) accused of stealing credit cards, opening lines of credit, forging signatures, and even funding a Brazilian butt lift with a patient’s identity. From fraudulent tax returns and wire fraud to bedside theft and plastic-surgery crime sprees, these cases prove that when a “nurse” makes headlines—it’s always the nurse part that gets emphasized, whether it’s true or not. Dark humor, outrageous scams, and unbelievable HIPAA-breaking true crime await in this round of Hungry Hungry HIPAA.
