Remember the Georgia jail nurse who refused care for dying inmate, and instead ordered him to isolation so she wouldn't have to hear him screaming? She gets to keep her license.

Staff asked then-Nursing Supervisor Annaleen Visser for permission to treat Kevil Wingo. She refused, and Wingo died while in custody.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.
- I hope the family sued her ass and puts up a gofundme and I hear about it. This asshole needs to be held accountable. She even said she wouldn’t change anything about how she handled it. That should be manslaughter. Pos.
  
  Manslaughter is unintentional killing through negligence. This sounds more like murder based on the intent to do harm but I’m not a legal expert in any capacity.

What a load of horsecrap, if you believe he is faking it do a simple physical exam, you cant fake a perf ulcer on an abd exam - the abd wall is rigid as a rock, minimal palpation sends them up the wall, likely decreased bowel sounds (although this is a highly subjective one and abdominal auscultation is of questionable yield).
At the end of the day, this person should have seen a physician, and regardless of her experience a nurse should always elevate complaints of sever pain to one.
