Starting Season 2 Off On The Wrong Foot

In this episode, we dive into the disturbing true story of Wisconsin nurse Mary K. Brown, accused of amputating a hospice patient’s frostbitten foot with bandage scissors—without a physician’s order or consent. We break down the medical realities of necrosis, scope-of-practice violations, reporting failures, and the legal aftermath that saw serious felony charges reduced to a misdemeanor plea. It’s a jaw-dropping case of alleged nurse misconduct, healthcare ethics, and system breakdowns—told with the clinical insight and dark humor only real nurses can deliver. Listener discretion advised.
