Dr. William Husel Trial: Murder? or Mercy? | 34 Patients Dead



Published
Doctor William Husel, an Intensive Care Physician at Mount Carmel Healthcare System in Ohio was charged with 34 counts of murder after overdosing his patients with Fentanyl at the time of palliative extubation. Dr. Husel was found not guilty in April of 2022 by a jury in central Ohio. Today we evaluate the Dr. William Husel Trial, and discuss what implications it may have on palliative care today as well as how it compares to the Radonda Vaught trial recently covered, where a nurse was charged for an accidental medication error ending in a loss of life.

Please be mindful to watch the whole video. I do represent this case from BOTH sides.

I started this channel because I wanted other working moms, nurses, nurse practitioner students, nursing students, and whoever else to know that you CAN do school, life and work! I'd love to hear your stories of how you combine your personal interests with your family life! You are doing great things, and I hope you remember that!

As Covid Vaccine mandates become more popular, I have a few thoughts as to what is ethically the right move here. Covid vaccination decreases spread of illness, and will decrease likelihood of transmission to patients. However the vaccine mandate may cause more nurses to leave already short staffed units, making working conditions more unsafe. And costing more lives in the end.
