Was there less staff coverage on the Monday of Spring Break? Was the hospital short-staffed?
Don't they check someone's medical records when they come in?
They HAD to know who they were dealing with.
We do not know about staffing that night , but Duke in 11/04 claimed to have had 14 certified SANEs available. Staffing is a good question for the depositions.

Past medical records are always checked. The Duke ED personnel did not necessarily know Mangum because she had gone more frequently to UNC Hospital looking for drugs than Duke. Her medical records are under seal but were said to be over 1,000 pages in part due to her in-patient records when she was hospitalized for mental illness.

At the Duke ED on March 14 she was seen by three doctors and four nurses-- none of whom apparently knew her.

I wonder if those medical records become pertinent when a question of "state of mind" is brought to bear in a stabbing case. If the accused's mind can be shown to be perpetually "altered", is that not relevant?

Of course the Durham county prosecutors are not likely to WANT access to those records for their favorite turnstile jail resident. They might have as much 'splainin to do as she.

I don't understand why they let the suit go on against Levicy and not Arico. In my mind Arico supervised her so she would be responsible for what Levicy did. When I was a resident, I convered the emergency room throughtout the night and unless it was something that was complicated, I would not staff it with the attending psychiatrist until the morning. This of course was the type of situation that was complicated and I would have called my supervising resident and possibly the attending physician. By complicated I mean something that would hit the newspapers and I would have wanted the attending to know what was going on and to have an opportunity for input before it would be too late.

However, at the time this SANE exam was not considered complicated. It was not much different than other alleged sexual assaults seen in the Duke ED, and probably was considered less important because the alleged "victim" was inconsistent and at times incoherent, feigning pain, changing her stories, and falling off to sleep on a gurney.

Crystal's exam was considered a "throw-away" which is [robably why they didn't call in the on-call SANE nurse and left it for Levicy and the day shift.

There would have been no reason to involve Arico to start with. While we are now dissecting every aspect of Crystal's examination and behavior, at the time it was just a routine case (until the sh!t hit the fan).

Great clip about the dogs!

Whatever the case at DUMC the real question remains the same. How could a Sane Unit get it so wrong? The Drs & Nurses pretty much saw the same thing, nothing. The answer to that question is most likely what DUMC & Duke is covering up!

I really think obstruction of Justice is one of the crucial issues in what Duke is worried about.

IMHO somebody really screwed up & Duke had to hide the truth once the race card was played.

Didn't both the Dr. and nurse testify? At the bar hearing I believe.

Funny I can't recall all the details there, but I am certain Beth wore red slacks!
