Abramson, Brown & Dugan Attorneys

Last week, we reported a disturbing case in which a Texas nurse faced a prison term for reporting a doctor she suspected of practicing bad medicine.  We've just learned that a jury has acquitted her of any wrongdoing. 

Fortunately the jury agreed with those who believe in medical accountability and transparency.

"Fulfilling your duty as a nurse shouldn't get you an indictment," said Joyce Cunningham, spokeswoman for the Texas Nurses Association, which called the prosecution unprecedented and launched a legal fund that she said has swelled to almost $50,000. "It's about patient safety, and patient safety won the verdict."
