ANGEL OF MERCYA patient in surgery at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, Minn., identified only as LVK, was screaming in pain. Registered Nurse Sarah May Casareto, 33, was quick to step in, telling him to “go to your happy place” and “man up” because she had already given him as much medication as allowed. Hospital staff had to hold LVK down to complete the procedure, and the patient later went to police. The problem: Casareto had only given him a fraction of his dose, police say; she had shot the rest into herself instead. When confronted, Casareto resigned from her job and allegedly admitted to police she is addicted to painkillers. Hospital administrators “declined to discuss” why doctors would continue to operate on a patient who is screaming in pain. “We have procedures to protect patients,” said hospital spokeswoman Gloria O’Connell, and there are “safeguards in place” to ensure employees don’t steal drugs.

They approached him with a knife as he was withdrawing cash from an ATM in Lidkoping, Sweden, and demanded his money. “This isn’t going to go well,” replied Rolf Klasson. They “scoffed” at his warning, Klasson says, just before he decked the one with the knife with a right hook. “Then I laid out the other with a left jab.” Both men ended up on the ground but managed to get up and run. Klasson is a retired professional boxer. (JW/Sweden Local) … Actually, that went pretty darned well.Source: http://thisistrue.com
