Inside sources within Asante have since disclosed details surrounding the reported deaths, per NBC5 News. It is alleged that up to 10 patients died of infections contracted at the hospital.

The sources claim the infections were caused by a nurse who purportedly substituted medication with tap water.

It is alleged that the nurse was attempting to conceal the misuse of the hospital’s pain medication supply — specifically fentanyl — and intensive care unit patients were injected with tap water, causing infections that resulted in fatalities.

Medford police have confirmed their active investigation into the situation at the hospital but have refrained from providing specific details.

The sources indicate that the unsterile tap water led to pseudomonas, a dangerous infection, especially for individuals in poor health, commonly found in a hospital’s ICU.

    You literally have no idea what you’re talking about. Doctors don’t work for wages. Their labor model is completely different from nurses.

      Doctors don’t work for wages.

      LMFAO. Bro, it might be charitable work but it isn’t charity. Everybody goes to work with the expectation of getting paid, and if doctors stopped getting paid it wouldn’t be long before they stopped coming to work.

        Doctors don’t work FOR WAGES meaning they are not hourly wage employees. Their pay structure is completely different, which means their LABOR MODEL is completely different. Of course they work for money.
