The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder

Om October 21, 2003, Charlie gives two patients an overdose of Xanax before returning to the apartment he shares with his girlfriend, Cathy, and her children. Their relationship grows increasingly strained. At work, Charlie starts to abuse the Pyxis machine by using it to individually order every single drug he needs, including Tylenol. Another patient overdoses on digoxin, but despite Charlie’s excessive drug orders, they don’t find the drug in his record.

Danny, Paul, and a private detective meet at Saint Michael’s Hospital to hear a review of the six patient files Danny gave the examiner. The examiner confirms that the patients were given drugs from an outside source. Tim and Danny witness Reverend Gall’s exhumation and then meet with the medical examiner to observe the sample collection process.

Charlie drives to work, reflecting on the vast economic differences between his home and his place of employment. He’s pulled over by a police officer who claims that his car is being impounded. The officer is kind and acquiesces to Charlie’s protests, offering to drive him to work while he gets the problem sorted out. Mollified, Charlie agrees and soon receives a call confirming that the impound was a mistake.
