Nurse News: Disabled Patient Abandoned in Clinic, Nurse Joppy $20M Settlement, California Plague Case, and EPIC AI Charting Debate

Colton’s back with the latest nurse news you need to know:

• A patient with MS was left behind in an empty clinic. Alone. No phone. No staff. This one’s a PSA for everyone in healthcare—check your rooms. 
• A Colorado nurse wins $20 million after being falsely charged and racially targeted at work. The details? Absolutely infuriating—and a major win for justice. Slay, Joppy. 
• The plague is back, again. A camper near Lake Tahoe tests positive. Flea bites. Enough said. 
• Epic’s teaming up with Microsoft to roll out new AI tools for both patients and providers. Colton’s asking the real question: Where’s our AI charting assistant for nurses?!
