Nurse turns off life support machine by accident

...and then has no idea how to recussitate her patient!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-11595485

How in the frick do you get off employing a nurse who clearly doesn't know one end of a patient from another. This agency needs shutting down.

Sadly this tetraplegic guy's attempts to protect himself from silly mistakes failed, but at least it's on video so this women -and perhaps more like her- will no longer be trusted with people's lives

Why the hell would you shut off anything at ALL besides the light in a patient room like that??? Truly disturbing.

That's why all medical personal should be employees of the federal government. In fact, all citizens of the US should be employees of the federal government.
