Yeah, cover ups to protect their status and their job survival... who cares about the wrong done... it was a "mistake" why should I lose my job or go to jail... :/

For some of these people, patients only exist as a way to enrich themselves.
I have a brother who is a nurse and working on his doctorate, a sister who finished her PhD in nursing in 2017, two sister-in-laws, a nephew, several first cousins and many of my families friends who are nurses. It's quite scary what hospital systems will cover up to meet a metric or save their bacon. My brother routinely tells the doctors that he will not give a drug or do some other direction without the doctor giving the order in writing. Many of the doctors are busy, certainly, but many of them are just plain lazy and it's convenient to bark out and intimidate a nurse to do something without a written order and them claim later when there is a problem that they didn't give the order...
Smart move to get written proof as the docs are calling the shots and it's easy to just deny, deny, deny and let someone else false on the sword... :/
