Remember the Georgia jail nurse who refused care for dying inmate, and instead ordered him to isolation so she wouldn't have to hear him screaming? She gets to keep her license.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.
- I hope the family sued her ass and puts up a gofundme and I hear about it. This asshole needs to be held accountable. She even said she wouldn’t change anything about how she handled it. That should be manslaughter. Pos.
What a load of horsecrap, if you believe he is faking it do a simple physical exam, you cant fake a perf ulcer on an abd exam - the abd wall is rigid as a rock, minimal palpation sends them up the wall, likely decreased bowel sounds (although this is a highly subjective one and abdominal auscultation is of questionable yield).
At the end of the day, this person should have seen a physician, and regardless of her experience a nurse should always elevate complaints of sever pain to one.
