re: Thoughts on the RaDonda Vaught (nurse convicted of negligent homicide) trial?

Revoking a license is a slap on the wrist

Hypothetical scenario for doctors, nurses, engineers, lawyers, pharmacists, or similar:

You make an error, and for the purpose of this discussion, it doesn’t matter what/how. You screwed up. You are given two choices. One - you have your professional license and all credentials and education permanently revoked. You may not ever work in your profession again. Two - one year in prison. Afterward, you pick up where you left off as far as work goes with no further consequences.

I think for anyone who has spent years working toward a career, possibly taken out high student loans that still need to be paid, has a family to support, this may be a tough choice. This nurse gets both, and if they are doing this to nurses and cops, they could come for you next.
