Nurse on trial

I wonder if any of you are following the trial in TX or if you are even aware there is a trial going on in TX that could have far-reaching effects? A nurse is being tried on criminal charges because she did her job and reported a doctor for practicing bad medicine. See the story here.
If she is found guilty, I wonder how many other nurses will think twice before they stand up for their patients or just look the other way when a doctor does wrong? Then what will the complaint be? That she didn't do her job as mandated by her Nurse Practice Act? That she wasn't a patient advocate? We have too few nurses as it is. It's time we stood up behind the ones who are still in the trenches taking care of us. The next time we need someone in our corner when we are sick, there just may be no one but a bad-practicing doctor.
UPDATED: The nurse was acquitted. This is a good day.
