Shariya Small wasn’t ready to be a single teen mom when she gave birth to triplets earlier this year. The 14-year-old resented having to wake up at all hours of the night to change diapers and feed her babies. It was all a little too much for a teenager to handle.
All three of her children were born prematurely at 26 weeks, which only complicated the situation. They all weighed less than two pounds each and spent the first four...
Alex Wubbels became a viral sensation back in 2017 when she was caught on video refusing to let the police draw blood from an unconscious patient. In the clip, the nurse can be seen calmly talking on the phone at a University of Utah Hospital while a police officer threatens to arrest her. She tells the officer that the patient’s blood cannot be drawn without a warrant unless the patient is under arrest. "This is something you guys agreed...

RaDonda Vaught was found guilty of criminal negligence and abuse of an elder patient in May of 2022 after a deadly series of mistakes led to the death of Charlene Murphey, one of Vaught’s former patients in the ICU, in 2017.
