It is so hard to listen to and so infuriating

Fentanyl

Four weekends of prison for all the pain she’s inflicted?! That’s probably less time she was high on the Fenranyl she stole.

it's infuriating to listen to. The women are told it shouldn't hurt, and are made to feel as if they are in the wrong.

This is a supposedly excellent clinic and none of these doctors or nurses spoke up for their patients? None of them thought, maybe something isn't right here? I hope this series ends with an enormous lawsuit and payout.

I am listening now. Absolutely horrifying.

59 women + and not a single doctor or other nurse raised the alarm? I think by procedure 2 or 3 I, as a physician, would refuse to do more with women screaming in pain and no accountability. 175 vials....

really good point. Also- if there were 300/600 (I forget) women- what is the chances that none of them didn't come from another clinic first too. I think there was one patient who did 2 ERs and both were bad. Sooo many questions after this first episode.

Its the Retrievals. Horrible.

What’s the podcast? Can’t find it under that name.

I listened and was horrified, especially by the letter the women received once Yale found out. I hope they all sue and receive millions because Yale was negligent and awful.

PP here and I just read an NYT about this. Horrible!

I haven't listened (hadn't heard of it before). At my ER there was a nurse anaesthetist, not an anaesthesiologist MD. This was standard at SGF.

Has anyone listened to the first episode yet? If it so disturbing. How on earth did the doctors not stop and realize something was wrong. When I did my ERs, there was a anesthesiologist there- from the podcast it sounded like a nurse was giving the pain meds. Are there different pain protocols for ERs. I know ours was called twilight.. which sounds like what the podcast was describing.
