Evil fucking people
Ex-nurse's aide jailed for patient abuse
Mejak and another woman gave milk of magnesia to five patients at Willowood Care Center in Brunswick to get back at another nurse.
Mejak said that they discussed the plan about 4 a.m. on May 30, 2004, and that she knew Koah was giving the patients the laxatives, which caused them severe diarrhea and dehydration. The plan was designed to make the next shift, including the nurse Koah had a conflict with, deal with the afteraffects.
Susan Mejak thought her only crime was not stopping a co-worker from giving a laxative to nursing home patients to make them sick.
Medina County Common Pleas Judge Christopher Collier didn't see it that way.
"You looked at them as if they were not people. This was a violation of their dignity," Collier told Mejak on Monday before he sent her to prison for 10 months.
