Cincinnati EnquirerFormer critical care doctor William Husel, center, pleads not guilty to murder charges in the deaths of 25 hospital patients while appearing with defense attorney Richard Blake, right, in Franklin County Court on Wednesday, June 5, 2019, in Columbus, Ohio. Husel denies allegations that he ordered overdoses of painkillers for patients to hasten their deaths.
One of those patients was Beverlee Ann Schirtzinger, who was brought to Mount Carmel in October 2017. The 63-year-old Grove City woman was dizzy, had chest pain and shortness of breath. The hospital performed a liver biopsy. Schirtzinger and Fitzpatrick are two victims named in the 25-count criminal indictment filed against Husel Wednesday, detailing deaths between February 2015 and November 2018. If convicted, Husel would face 15 years to life in prison for each count.
A slew of lawsuits ensued against Husel, the hospital and staff. Husel's medical license was suspended. A criminal investigation was launched. At least 30 nurses were placed on leave. Attorneys Gerry Leeseberg and Anne Valentine, who are representing 17 families, say the culture at Mount Carmel allowed Husel to prescribe these excessive doses without getting caught for years.
Lamb, in a statement Wednesday, said Mount Carmel has made"meaningful changes throughout our system to ensure events like these never happen again."

I'm sure da state gots a special injection fo him.

Doctor accused of killing 25 patients with fatal doses of pain medicationAn Ohio doctor has been charged with 25 counts of murder for allegedly ordering fatal doses of pain medication for patients while working as a critical-care physician. This... is scary. If he's helping patients mercifully end their lives, let him go. Is he the one personally administrating the medication? If not don’t you think the nurses called him out on it? This is despicable. I’m quite sure a nurse manager would know to question him on this high dose. Either way, I’m not condoning what he did. I hope justice is served

Mexico Detains More Migrants Amid U.S. DisputeMexico has stepped up apprehensions of Central American migrants seeking to get to the U.S. to help contain the migrant surge that has angered the Trump administration. We should use the tariffs to build the wall. Maybe that’s what Donny Cheeto had in mind? Wanting less immigration is not an “extremist” position. The majority of American voters want current immigration levels cut by over 50%! Of 27 nations surveyed, not ONE had a majority that supported increasing immigration. 12 had majorities that supported reducing immigration about time...and lets send them back over as a families and heck as a large group

World Populace Actually Fine With Rich People Dying On Mount EverestGENEVA—Saying they had no real problem with wealthy thrill-seekers failing in their efforts to scale the tallest mountain on earth, the entire human population admitted Tuesday that they are, in fact, completely fine with rich people dying on Mount Everest. “These guys shelling out a hundred grand to climb a 29,000-foot peak with a team of Sherpas are obviously aware that many people have died in the attempt, so they kind of know what they’re getting into, right?” said Cleveland resident Richard Warvil, echoing the sentiments of the world’s 7.7 billion people, who acknowledged the deaths of affluent amateur climbers who voluntarily ascend to heights at which oxygen stops reaching the brain don’t really upset them all that much. “At a certain point, you’re kind of bringing it on yourself. Plus, if you have that much disposable income and, of all the things you could do with that money, you choose to spend it on this—well, we’re actually okay with you dying. It may sound harsh, but we’re gonna get along just fine without you.” At press time, sources confirmed no candlelight vigils were being held at the foot of Mount Everest. I wish I was rich enough to die on Everest. The rivers is true too except the Everest part. Sherpas die because of their stupidity and we are not fine with that. C'mon Onion. Do better!
