Good Nurse Sojourner Truth Bad Doctor Timothy Jordan

***Trigger Warning*** This episode contains elements of domestic violence and abuse. 

 

This week, Tina is joined by nurses Hanna and Kristen, the hosts of a new podcast called Nurses In The Know. Together, they tell you the incredibly sad and disturbing story of an army medic who decided to go to medical school and became a surgeon. In 2011, he met a wonderful young single mother, Jackie Wisniewski, who was working as a medical receptionist while going to nursing school. They moved in together and everything seemed to be picture-perfect on the outside. But things are rarely as good as they seem. It all started to unravel when Jackie tried to leave the relationship.

They close the show with another surprise nurse from the past. Sojourner Truth did many wonderful things in her life, not the least of which was working as a nurse.
