isn't that a shocking story about the hospital in Stockport where someone has tampered with saline drips..
I must have missed this in amongst all the phone hacking saga..
god bless these people's families who have suffered. |

Made me think about another thread - the one about Clares Law. I have heard a lot more incidences of those in the medical profession harming masses of patients through overdoses etc in contrast to people from the internet being harmed by strangers they have met on the net. If any resources need to be spent it should be on a psychological profile of those looking after the vulnerable with access to medication and the knowledge of how to kill so many and go undetected. But thats never gonna happen.
How can you monitor anyones behaviour with legislation to prevent an individual harming others? |

I think its terrifiying and I really feel for the families and the nurses that have all come under scrutiny at the hospital
Must be awful to question the people you work so closely with and to know that your every move is being questioned too,especially when you're there to provide care to vulnerable people
I hope it all comes to a conclusion soon |

"It's very odd.
Normally there is some motive no matter how misguided when someone decides to commit mass murder.
But nada so far."
i assume the motive would be to kill or injury randomly ?
at the time the saline was tampered with, the person doing it would have had (i assume) no idea who the bags would have been intended for
is their a 'thrill' in not knowing who your victims would be ?
or by not choosing a particular victim was the person doing the tampering admonishing themselves from responsibility to a degree ?
heaven only knows but it's a bad state of affairs at the end of the day ! |

Well nursing may be classified as 'the caring profession', that doesn't mean that all staff are caring people, it has its fair share of evil.
I don't think anyone has forgotten Beverley Allitt or indeed Dr Shipman |

I was put on a drip last night in hospital and i thought about it for all of 2 mins..
think its a very sad case that someone could do something so tragic, but its a very rare case hopefully. |

It is likely that the perpetrator knew what he/she was doing as it would be very hard to inject insulin into bags of saline sitting in a store cupboard without signs of tampering due to how they are packaged but very easy once they were out of their wrappers and being set up for use.
So they were likely to have known which patient was going to be affected. And also very easy for the police to track down the perp as long as correct procedures for signing who had put up the drips had been followed.
Sick and twisted person but also not very clever for a wannabe mass murderer |

I did wonder when I qualified as a nurse why insulin was'nt classed as a controlled drug that is locked away and needing 2 nurses to sign it out,measure the amount used and sign it back before administering considering what Beverly Allit had done
