Hospital Waiting Lists a Problem? Call Nurse Martin

TVNZ has this story on would-be murderer Lesley Martin's hearing as to whether or not she should be struck off as a nurse. Why, surely there's no reason why a woman who did her best to murder her own mother as an act of "mercy" shoudn't be allowed to nurse other peoples parents. To quote from the story:

"Martin, who is a nurse, was found guilty of attempting to murder her mother by an overdose of morphine, and spent seven-and-a-half months in Arohata prison.

The Nursing Council referred Martin to the Tribunal after conducting an investigation that concluded her conduct might affect her fitness to practise as a nurse."

Got that? Being a euthanasia campaigner and trying to commit murder MIGHT affect her fitness to be a nurse.
