In this episode, Hannah and Emilie recap the movie "The Good Nurse" that is available now on Netflix. The Good Nurse is about a nurse named Charles Cullen who worked in multiple ICUs in the NJ and PA area and killed up to 400 of his patients on purpose using insulin and digoxin. He was able to get away with this for years with the help of hospitals brushing off unexplained deaths for years, until the investigation of Anna Martinez's unexplained death. We highly recommend checking this movie out and joining us for our discussion of this movie!
