Jury finds Wausau woman guilty of failing to manage grandmother’s diabetes resulting in death
A trA jury has found a 38-year-old woman guilty of neglect in her grandmother’s death.
During a call for a medical response on Jan. 4, 2022 the woman, who was diabetic, was suspected to have low blood sugar. EMS advised the woman should be taken to the ER for hyperglycemia. Investigators said Sheahen stated she only wanted lift assistance for the woman. Sheahen then administered insulin. EMS also wanted to check the woman’s vital signs. Sheahen reportedly said “those will not be taken tonight”.
Suspected low blood sugar --> administers insulin. Then refuses to takes vital signs...
Court documents state Sheahen, a registered nurse...
This should be in the headline. In my State at least, a medical professional is liable for negligence and neglect in circumstances where a laymen would not be.
Thanks, I was wondering what made this woman liable for her mother's care.
Greedy monster. But also:
A sentencing day has not yet.
Come on. You're not even trying to perform copy editing.
