Negligence

Who would leave a patient having a fit for over 2 and a half hours? Apparently these 2 nurses.
Neglected until she died. It's not just criminal negligence but a complete disregard of all the rules, regulations and ethical concepts a nurse would be trained to follow.
The sick thing in all of this? The UK justice system only gave them a 4 and 6 month suspended sentence. Is that all a human life is worth? At least they'll never nurse again.
Dereliction of duty - can't you still be shot for that in the army?

What a messed up, truly awful world.

I don't even feel like trying to change it, sometimes.

I have friends who are epileptic and it scares me to think that there are people who do not care enough to help.
I have to at least try to help if we don't who will?

True. We've got a big job on our hands, huh?
