Nurse Mike with Simple Nursing is joining Tina this week to celebrate 500,000 downloads! A big thank you to all of our listeners for continuing to support our little podcast! In this week's episode Tina and Mike discuss the wildly bizarre story of a medical examiner from west Tennessee who was found in a stairwell bound and gagged with barbed wire. The story only gets stranger from there. They start off the show talking about nurses around the country who are being called off and either made to use PTO or don't get paid but aren't being let out of their contracts. They close the show with a wonderfully endearing story about a retired nurse who collected all sorts of different medicine caps and made a beautiful work of art.

This week's story is so disturbing.

They close the show with an uplifting story that will help restore your faith in nursing schools.
