What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA former intensive care nurse in Florida is accused of stealing fentanyl from a critically ill patient's IV drip in June, and police have charged her with three felonies, according to Breitbart.

Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterIt is a quiet hospital wing, the lights hum low, and one little bag of fluid hangs there holding a secret. Allegedly.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA secret. In a bag.

Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterI have been staring at that bag since June in my mind, Chip, and I swear it knows more than it is saying, and so far it has not asked for a lawyer.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe report says she is now a former nurse, the patient was critically ill, and the case is about whether the drip was tampered with.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat is a serious allegation, and she has not been convicted of anything.

Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterBut that's not the whole story!

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOkay, what else does the report say?

Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterThat was the whole report. I just really committed to the lighting.
