Pennsylvania Nurse Accused of Fatal Insulin Overdoses and Feeling Bad for Patients' Quality of Life
Nurse Heather Pressdee is accused of killing two elderly patients and injuring another by giving them lethal doses of insulin, according to Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry. Pressdee allegedly admitted to injecting two of the victims with insulin, saying she felt bad for their quality of life and hoped they would slip into a coma and pass away. One witness reported that Pressdee said one of the victims would be "better off dead." Pressdee is facing charges of homicide, attempted murder, aggravated assault, neglect of a care-dependent person, and reckless endangerment. She worked at Quality Life Services, a retirement nursing facility, in Chicora.
