This week's episode is guest hosted by Nurse Practitioner Heather. Together, we delve into a compelling case from 1996, set in a rural hospital in California. The story revolves around an infant who is admitted to the emergency room with a perplexing illness. As the situation unfolds, Dr. Wolfgang suggests a transfer to a specialized pediatric hospital, only to find himself facing murder charges as a result. In our "Good Nurse" segment, we highlight an emergency room doctor who, after an exhausting shift at the hospital, was caught engaging in a heartwarming act of service for a homeless individual. This remarkable incident showcases the doctor's compassion and dedication beyond the confines of the medical setting.
