A palliative care nurse in Germany has been sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted of the murder of 10 patients and the attempted murder of 27 others.
Prosecutors alleged that the man, who has not been publicly named, injected his mostly elderly patients with painkillers or sedatives in an effort to ease his workload during shifts overnight.
There really isn’t enough context in this article to make comment. Were the doses provided at the prescribed dose and time? Did the patients analgesia match reported pain scales and clinical pattern for pathology? Was there difference in PRN use for his shift and others? Presumably all information that would have been pulled apart in the trial
