Cara sits down with Amy Loughren, trauma, ICU, and ER nurse, also known as the "Good Nurse" for her part in the arrest and prosecution of American serial killer, Charles Cullen who may be responsible for as many as 400 deaths over a period of 16 years. Amy describes her relationship with Cullen and how after his arrest, she overcame the guilt and anxiety of knowing that one of her closest friends was a murderer. Cara and Amy discuss how poor risk management systems allowed Cullen to continue killing and how the repercussions of these failures impact the healthcare system today.
