Good Congresswoman Nurse Bad Urologist Ingolf Tuerk

Saturday Nov 13, 2021

This week Tina is joined by Mark, her better half and head of all things IT for Good Nurse Bad Nurse. Together they tell the story of Dr. Infgolf Tuerk. A renowned urologist from Brighton, Massachusetts. For years, Tuerk was recognized for his contributions to medicine, worked as the chief of urology, was featured in videos and billboards promoting the hospital, and was loved by all his patients. But it all started to unravel in 2019 when he was investigated for Medicare fraud and fired from the hospital. As he began to spiral downward, his wife took the brunt of his rage and instability which ultimately led to a horrible tragedy.

For the good nurse story, they talk about one of three US Congresswomen serving currently who are nurses. Congresswoman Cori Bush was elected in 2020 to serve Missouri’s 1st Congressional district. She is the first Black woman and first nurse to represent Missouri and the first woman to represent Missouri’s 1st Congressional District. She received a nursing degree from Lutheran University of Nursing in 2019 and spent the next decade serving the community as a nurse, ordained pastor, community organizer, and childcare worker.

Good South Florida Doctors Bad Doctor Ronald Mikos

Saturday Oct 09, 2021

This week, Tina is joined by Tom and Ben of Just Some Podcast for APRNs. Together, they tell the story of Dr. Ronald Mikos. Dr. Mikos was making between 250 – 300 thousand dollars a year, which was a couple hundred thousand dollars over what other podiatrists were making in the area. When the federal government started interviewing his patients, they discovered he had been billing for hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of procedures that seemed suspicious for a foot doctor. He was able to manipulate his patients into lying for him...all but one that is. A disabled and retired nurse refused to play his game and was all set to testify against the doctor until one night just days before the hearing, she was silenced forever. They close the show with the inspiring story of 75 doctors in South Florida who created a united front in order to emphasize the importance of being vaccinated.

Good Jazz Nurse Bad Twin Nurse

Saturday Oct 02, 2021

This week Tina is joined by new grad Nurse Jehr! Tina and Jehr tell you the story of Betty Wilson. Betty and Peggy were fraternal twins born in a small town in Alabama in 1945. Although the twin sisters were very close, they were also very different. Peggy was the beautiful, popular, homecoming queen type, and Betty opted for a wilder group of friends. Both married shortly after finishing high school, Peggy to a Baptist Choirmaster and Betty to a doctor she met in her nursing program. When Betty found her husband dead after a day of self-pampering, Betty and Peggy would find themselves accused of planning the murder. They close the show with a fascinating story of a famous jazz singer who left behind a very successful career singing and entertaining to go to nursing school.
