  N.J. 'Killer Nurse' Gets 11 Life Terms
  
  SOMERVILLE, N.J., Mar. 2, 2006
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  (AP) A nurse who killed at least 29 patients was sent to prison for the rest of his life Thursday after his victims' loved ones angrily branded him "vermin," "garbage" and a "monster" who ruined lives and shattered their faith in the medical profession.
  
  .......
  
  Cullen has admitted to using lethal doses of medications _ usually the heart medication digoxin _ to kill patients. He told authorities when he was arrested in 2003 that he killed "very sick" patients, and described the slayings as mercy killings.
  
  Many of the deaths were not recognized as murders at the time, in part because many of the victims were old or sickly. Cullen was finally caught after officials at Somerset Medical Center in Somerville began noticing that patients who died or nearly did had unusually high levels of digoxin in their bodies.
  
  Cullen agreed to help investigators solve his killings. In exchange, prosecutors in all seven counties where he worked agreed not to seek the death penalty.

  Set up securiy checkpoints at hospitals and clinics
  
  All nurses must be tested for choya-level in their body before being allowed to handle the patients and medications
  
  By the way, can choya be tested by breathlyser?

  I think there can be two things that go through the minds of such nurses :
  
  Either :
  - they are pro-euthanasia and strongly believe that due to the low or no quality of life and the constant suffering the patients go through, they'll find release and peace in death;
  
  OR :
  - they have some underlying psychological issues and are playing God.
  
  I'm not making excuses for such action. Just wondering what in the world could these nurses be thinking!

  I think there should be euthanasia for patients who are kept alive artificially. cos they should be dead. it's like playing god also, keeping them alive artificially when they should be dead.
