Episode 29: Rules and Regulations for Patient Dumping Residents High on Booger Sugar

Healthcare Villains’s Podcast

Hello Henchpeople, thank you for coming back for another episode of Healthcare Villains. This week, we revisit an issue we have discussed in past episodes about patient dumping. This time, we will be sharing a listener's story and Poison I.V. will actually go into better detail as to how unbelievably fucked up (and illegal) patient/resident dumping actually is.
