Becoming a nurse was the realization of Anne Capute's lifelong dream. Now she had everything she wanted - until the nightmare began at Morton General Hospital.
Licensed practical nurse Anne Capute administered a fatal dose of morphine to a dying patient, Norma Leanues. Anne claimed she was following common practice at Morton General, with a verbal approval by Dr. Hillier, to administer unrestricted doses of morphine as a humane antidote to the unbearable suffering of terminal cases.
One day after the death of Mrs. Leanues, Dr. Hillier was off on a European vacation, and Anne Capute was suspended. Three days later she was advised to retain a lawyer - she would be standing trial for first degree murder.
One after another, doctors and nurses with whom Anne had worked so closely testified against her. And the most damaging prosecution witness of all was Dr. Hillier. Suddenly Anne's life's dream was destroyed. And as her personal life, too, began to shatter, there remained little hope of acquittal - or justice.
Anne Capute a woman on trial for her life. One dedicated nurse battling against the vast influence of the medical establishment. Hers is a true story of courage, drama, and penetrating suspense that no listener will soon forget.

I am a retired RN. This book made me realize how one could get in legal trouble even when doing what is expected. I once was one of two nurses in the community who were giving morphine shots 2-3 times a day to an elderly lady in the community. She had made it very clear that she knew she was going to die soon and that she wanted to die at home. Her family and doctor were supportive. As the end got closer she was the in a lot of pain and unable to rest so her doctor ordered morphine and we agree to give it. On this particular night, she was moaning and restless but her respirations were only 8/ minute. I sad to the brother "Do you remember how we talked about morphine lowering the respirations?" He told me that he remembered but that she was in so much pain without it. I gave the shot and left. She died in her sleep about five hours later. The brother who was her only relative said that about 30-45 minutes after I left , she relaxed and seemed to sleep peacefully. Would she have lived a little longer if I had not given the morphine? Possibly But maybe not and she would have been in pain and restless. I have no regrets whatsoever. But I AM glad that it did result in a trial.Product details

Fatal Dosage The True Story of a Nurse on Trial for Murder (Audible Audio Edition) Gary Provost Arthur Flavell Crossroad Press Books Reviews
I honestly didn't have high expectations. The very beginning didn't change that view very much but once the 2nd attorney appeared and the trial, it was mesmerizing!
Being a nurse myself I was interested in reading another nurses experience and how the community responded. This is a very good read
Author forgot to finish the book. What happened to other nurses charged, did Anne divorce her husband, were their any civil suits, did Anne go to Montana??
Provost does a good job with this book. It is the story of a nurse who was tried for giving a cancer patient a fatal dose of morphine. The issue of "mercy killing" is a sensitive one and one that practically everyone will face. It is interesting how this case played out.
If you are a fan of true crime like I am, you will thoroughly enjoy this book. The author is able to take a complicated event, and trial, and make the reader understand what is happening. I recommend this read.
Very good at first. Half way through it gets to the trial portion and I just couldn't keep reading all of the mumbo jumbo. I skipped a ton of pages just to see how it ended. The ending was interesting but hard to get to.
A better read than i first anticipated. Started off slow then picked up pace about half way through to a happy ending which is rare in tc. The fact that nurse anne was railroaded is not surprising but that the jury recognized it is amazing. Patients should be better informed of their state of health than their care providers.
