Nurse Amputates Foot, Jokes About Display

A Wisconsin nurse amputated a hospice patient’s foot without his or his doctor’s permission—then joked about putting it on display in her family’s taxidermy shop with a sign: 'Wear your boots, kids.' The patient died days later. The nurse pleaded no contest to negligent abuse, lost her license, and won’t serve jail time. This story is wild—how does someone even think this is okay? #Relationships #TrueCrime #NursingNews
