Sherp, we all have our loyalties. But this case is replete with people who essentially are.... either a disgrace to the profession they represent....or their so-called "professions" have descended down a slippery slope into such a pervasive embodiment of moral and professional lassitude...to become a collective disgrace themselves.

So which is it?

In short, either Levicy is a bad nurse...or the nursing "profession" has become a sloppy, careless consortium of rule-benders and/or incompetent rogues with a CYA attitude.... more concerned with lawsuits than medicine.

When you, who we might guess to have been a nurse, defend Levicy...you scare us. If Levicy is not a bad nurse, then, by your standard, a nurse that diagnoses where she shouldn't, lies to the authorities about "evidence" that DOES NOT EXIST, changes medical documents, and tries FOR MONTHS to empower a crooked DA in his quest to convict three innocent kids...is...by your standard...is a good nurse?

What are you telling us here?

Sherp. by the same standard, to call out Nifong, does not impugn good DA's or good attorneys. In fact, quite the opposite is true. If one of our attorneys here were to try to make the case that Nifong was just doing his job, that would imply that the every despicable maneuver, every legal stunt he employed in this case was so.... commonplace.... in the legal profession that other lawyers found them unremarkable, unworthy of professional outrage.

Think about that a bit. How an attorney reacts to Nifong says a lot about the standard of ethics as perceived by his peer group.

Is Gottlieb a good cop or a bad cop? If other Durham officers defend him, what does that say about the state of ethics in that police department? Is Meehan a credit to his profession? I could go on and on.

When you defend Levicy, you indicate how far nurses will go to protect each other's errors...and even deliberate, malignant, intentional lies. She is either a bad nurse....or the moral compass of the nursing profession is more than bad itself.
