This nurse had a real nursing degree but... https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/541134-the-good-nurse https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/541134-the-good-nurse Director Tobias Lindholm does an amazing job with Eddie Redmayne as the villain nurse. Redmayne is up there with Anthony Hopkins for all time greatest villain in this performance. TLDW: if a hospital suspects a nurse might be killing patients but can't prove it, their best play is to just fire the nurse for some um-related reason and get them to go work somewhere else. The trouble is these "good nurses" always find another hospital willing to hire time and no one stops them.

Never mind a hunch - even a murder trial alleging that a nurse is killing patients may be based on nothing but bias, coincidence, and a poor knowledge of statistics.

  > Gill has not always been a troublemaker. His career has been defined by long detours into the bowels of arcane mathematical problems. Injustice bothers him—but so does error. Thank-you. This motivates me to study statistics. A quantitative truth seeker is doing exactly what is needed, and he did not need to know enough about computers to hack them (for example).
