AI Failed to Catch Nurse’s Fentanyl Theft
Description
A Tennessee nurse anesthetist secretly snatched fentanyl from surgical waste for months—until AI alarms failed to sound, letting his escalating addiction go unnoticed until coworkers spotted his slurred speech and exhaustion. Tested positive, fired, and banned from the hospital, he admitted to daily use by June 2025. No patients harmed, but his license is suspended pending rehab compliance—highlighting how even advanced AI can miss what a simple manual review would catch.
