    The case of my client, Patricia Stallings, is one with great controversy. We have opened her case again because of substantial evidence of her innocence. I believe that my client is innocent of the charges the court has wrongly fully accused her of. True, at the beginning of the case it seemed like a classic case of an abusive mother poisoning her own child; however with the birth of her 2nd child, David Jr., important new evidence was discovered. He suffered from the same symptoms that Ryan had suffered. But how could David Jr. be poisoned when his mother was behind bars? More testing was done on Ryan’s blood and many laboratories have found strong evidence in the possibility of…

    Respiratory Therapy is on staff, not present, but available if needed. When Mr. B arrived he made the third patient in a six bed Emergency Department. Additional back-up staff was available if needed. Policy for nurse to patient ratio for the facility is unknown however one on one care should have been addressed with the potential for respiratory depression with Mr. B. Additional staff were available to care for the incoming patients but were not utilized. With the issue of one on one care for conscious sedation if the only concern was respiratory related the in-house respiratory therapist could have been paged to monitor Mr. B while Nurse J was caring for other patients. Knowing Mr. B’s medication history of oxycodone use for chronic pain and the added medication for sedation would most definitely qualify him for one on one care until discharge criteria were met due to the potential for respiratory depression. With the added stressors of an additional critical patient arriving for care and multiple patients with need to be seen in the Emergency Department lobby the back up staff should have been…

    Katie is a 35-year-old professional woman, wife and mother of two small children. Katie was first introduced to pain medications after a car accident left her with an injured lower back. The pain medications she took, began a neurobiological response in Katie’s brain that she had no control over. Narcotics take aim at the brains reward system, saturating it with dopamine, giving the user a feeling of pleasure (“Drug Abuse, Addiction, and the Brain,” n.d. p. 2). Katie’s brain began to acclimate to the dopamine surges. Which in turn, the brain generates less dopamine and or decreases the dopamine receptors. This made Katie use more and more drugs, to continually try and attain the dopamine high (“Drug Abuse, Addiction, and the Brain,” n.d. p. 2) Brain imaging studies show that areas of the brain that regulate judgement, behavior control, learning and memory are affected by drug addiction. These changes create the abuser to seek out and take drugs compulsively (“Drug Abuse, Addiction, and the Brain,” n.d. p.1). This began Katie’s addiction to prescription pain medications.…
