      Makes me wonder why one would commit murder, rather than finding a more suitable job.

      Well, workload reduction successfully achieved, I guess? /s

      Seriously: Its not the first such case in Europe. Mental health of health workers is a serious concern that needs to be adressed.

      The guy tried to lighten his workshift by sedating patients and killed 10 of them by mistake? Am I reading this correct?

      Morphine and mediazolam… Truth be told he gave them the best exit they could hope for considering it was palliative care

      As someone who knows a few nurses, I understand. I don’t approve, but I understand.

      It’s terrifying that a nurse would kill patients just to make his shift easier, makes you wonder how many more cases like this slip by unnoticed.

      It’s horrible.

      But honestly the medical system cares too much about keeping elderly alive for insurance payments and too little about their quality of life.

      Maybe if they spent some of that insurance money on keeping elderly fit and moving it could help.

      While murdering patients is thankfully rare, screwed up people who should never be given that job sadly aren’t. From lack of proper selection to fake nursing school degrees costing about ~6K Euros on the black market, there’s a constant influx of people who have neither knowledge nor the will to acquire it, paired with a total lack of empathy.

      Nursing is hard, and nursing with terminally ill patients is exceptionally hard. In the past I had sometime picked up my wife at her job because she was about to have a breakdown and couldn’t drive her car. Nothing serious ever happened at her facility, but she shared stories of some really horrible people working there and in other places she worked at over the years. Most are caught and sacked, but that usually happens when families complain as workers, including good ones, keep their mouth shut because of fear. Not all patients however have the ability to communicate, and the corporations owning the structures don’t give a damn because bad workers are usually cheaper.

      What is it with Germany and homicidal nurses? I swear every month there’s news about some nurse murdering patients in Germany.

      From reading the article and actually looking up some more information the guy was working in palliative care. That’s the part of the hospital where elderly people who have no hope of getting better are kept alive regardless of their own will until their body gives out. It’s a miserable place to be and I’m personally happy my grandpa only needed to spend a little less than a week there before passing on.

      The reality might be as the prosecutors claim, reckless nurse who murdered several people due to carelessness. It could also be that these people were in pain with no hope of getting better and wanted to pass on but were kept alive against their will. It would still be considered murder to administer a lethal dose of morphine to these patients but from a moral point of view I would be on the nurse’s side. At least let people who have no ability to do anything else choose when they want to die.

      You‘d have to be completely psychopathic to begin with to even consider this as a solution to a problem.
