Intensive care unit nurse Kristen Gilbert worked for several years in the 1990s at a Veterans Administration Hospital. Her co-workers became suspicious. The co-workers observed that unexpected patient deaths occurred more frequently on her shifts than on other shifts. They also noticed a shortage of supplies of the cardiac stimulant epinephrine, which can be fatal when administered in large enough doses through an IV drip. The hospital investigators went through all the shifts during the years Gilbert worked at the hospital, noting whether Gilbert was on duty during that shift and whether there was a death during the shift.
