The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder

Tim searches New Jersey databases for information on Edward Allatt but finds that the man has no prior brushes with the law. When he searches for Charles Cullen, however, he finds a record of Charlie’s criminal trespassing and drunk driving. He calls the Pennsylvania police in Palmer County and requests information on Charlie, and the clerk finds a Post-It note with the word digoxin on it. Danny calls the Pennsylvania State police, and although the officer he speaks to relays that the Post-It note was in reference to an Easton death to which Charlie wasn’t determined to be connected, the discovery piques Danny’s interest.

Danny begins to compile a list of Charlie’s past places of employment. When Tim realizes that Charlie’s first employer was also a hospital where he served as a rent-a-cop, he offers to go question their administration. Tim reflects on his past with Saint Barnabas as he drives, thinking about how much things have changed.

Tim asks one of his contacts at Saint Barnabas to pull Charlie’s files, hoping to avoid being interceded by a lawyer. Although the files have been redacted and are fragmented due to their age, Tim and Danny find that Charlie received multiple write-ups due to inappropriate medicine handling.
