## Resource

A former nurse at Ascension Saint Thomas Midtown is exposing years of ignored safety failures, saying critical issues—including understaffing, untrained staff, and frequent medication errors—were reported long before a recent deadly incident that injured four patients. Despite the hospital’s removal from immediate jeopardy status, investigators continue uncovering systemic problems, and the nurse claims her departure was driven by unsafe conditions she witnessed firsthand. Her testimony underscores a troubling pattern dating back to 2021, revealing a culture where staff concerns went unheard—raising urgent questions about patient safety and institutional accountability.
