Medical Malpractice Deaths shouldn’t be criminalized?
Vaught was criminally indicted for the death in 2019, and her court case has become a rallying cry for nurses who worry about the criminalization of medical errors. Vaught also faced this disciplinary case brought by the Department of Health, which initially declined to punish Vaught but reversed course after the details of her case became public.

They were ready to let her skate after she ignored safety protocols, did not even bother to make sure the medication she was giving was the right one and a patient died.
And she should not be tried criminally because fear other nurses and medical personnel may be also criminally prosecuted for also not being professionals and killing their patients.
There is a difference between a deadly mistake because of just bad luck or particular circumstances and deadly mistake simply because you just don’t give a flock.
We shoot somebody to defend life and still go through a criminal investigation. Again, we save a life and still get treated as a suspect till we get cleared.
My advice: Don’t get sick enough to have to go to a hospital.
