While I agree that some other professions have a more lenient attitude towards errors, and healthcare workers aren’t treated as well as they should, I also believe that deathly negligence should be prosecuted accordingly. From the article:
> Some of Vaught's peers support the conviction. Scott Shelp, a California nurse with a small YouTube channel, posted a 26-minute self-described "unpopular opinion" that Vaught deserves to serve prison time. "We need to stick up for each other," he said, "but we cannot defend the indefensible."
> "This case is, and always has been, about the one single individual who made 17 egregious actions, and inactions, that killed an elderly woman," said the office's spokesperson, Steve Hayslip. "The jury found that Vaught's actions were so far below the protocols and standard level of care, that the jury (which included a longtime nurse and another health care professional) returned a guilty verdict in less than four hours."
So it seems that this wasn’t just a mix up with some medication.
