USA: Hospital, nurse sued in painkiller theft
myfoxtwincities.com on October 18, 2011 reported that Hearing Larry King describe his kidney stone surgery from last November can make anyone squirm. “It felt to me like someone was taking needles and pushing them down through your back and into your kidney,” says King. On Tuesday, King filed a lawsuit against Allina Health Systems, Abbott Northwestern Hospital, and his former nurse, Sarah Casareto. Earlier this year, Hennepin County prosecutors accused Casareto of stealing King’s pain medication during surgery. Through a plea deal, the charge was dismissed. As long as Casareto does not violate her three year probation, she will avoid jail time, fines, and her record will remain clean.
