  1. In response to Boyer injuring a nurse at Warren General Hospital, Mr. Boyer suffers from specific illnesses which cause him to hallucinate and lose touch with reality amongst other symptoms. Mr. Boyer did not know what he was doing and this is common knowledge by those who know him as well as several Warren General Staff who have offered to support Mr. Boyer. Mr. Boyer has no prior record and would not have intentionally or knowingly hurt this individual of whom we are all sorry for her experience but now Mr. Boyer is facing a felony charge in addition to terminal illness.

  2. I’m a nurse. Maybe it was the nurse’s fault. I don’t all the details, but if the patient is non-compliant, the caregiver should back off & re-approach. Especially with RN’s. They are always in such a damn hurry.
