RaDonda
redux May 13, 2022 -- We wrote earlier of our dismay at the criminal charges for the nursing errors of RaDonda Vaught. Today we have the sentence: three years supervised probation. Her mistakes were severe and she paid a high price -- career, license, and a lifetime of regret. But no prison time. The nursing community has breathed a sigh of relief. We are vindicated in our belief that errors are not crimes. Go justice for nurses! |

"The United States alone [among wealthy countries] treats health care as a commodity to be distributed according to the ability to pay rather than a social service to be distributed according to medical need." — JAMA (2003), 290, 798
