What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA Florida ICU nurse is accused of stealing fentanyl from the IV of a critically ill patient, and the New York Post has the details.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFootage reviewed by detectives shows the nurse, identified as Pope, manipulating the protective caps on the IV equipment.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThose caps exist to keep the line sealed and the drug where it belongs.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the camera caught the hands, not just the paperwork. Nurse Pope is accused, not convicted, and no court has weighed in yet.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCorrect.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt is what investigators call drug diversion, and it matters because a patient in intensive care may be getting less pain relief than the chart says.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLess than the chart says. That's the scary part.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHospitals keep locked cabinets, counts and sign-offs for exactly this reason. The footage suggests the weak point was the line itself, after all of that.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWe're told the cabinet lock gets all the attention. Nobody ever films the little cap on the tube, and tonight somebody did.

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA camera over a bed has never been popular with staff. It is considerably more popular with detectives.
