Doctor Charged For Murder Goes Free and Gets To Keep His License

Did justice take a day off?

William Husel has been found not guilty of 14 counts of murder. 3 weeks after the defense rest their case, the jury came back with a unanimous “not guilty” verdict for all 14 individual counts. While some reports state there was enough reasonable doubt provided by the defense to throw off the jury verdict, the trial itself shows that the verdict was inevitable, but how?

The Defense Called One Witness

That’s right! After 54 witnesses were called for the prosecution, in this case, the defense called one witness. That witness only discussed comfort care and the general stipulations that comfort care covers. After their only witness, the defense rest, and they gave their closing statements.

Was The Verdict Wrong?

The reason for the verdict was said to be a lack of intent, but while the prosecution still argues misconduct, the doctor had his medical license reinstated. Husel has also filed a civil case against the prosecution for defamation of character. The trial itself and the results of the trial make it seem as though Husel was wrongly accused.

So… What Was All The Fuss About?

Doctor Husel was on trial for 14 counts of murder. During the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, Doctor Husel was in charge of end-of-life care for many patients. His charges were brought up when it was discovered that he was giving more than the recommended dosage of Fentanyl to his patients.

The Fentanyl dosage he was giving was accelerating the timeline till their death. So, while these patients were going to die anyway, they died quicker because of these actions. 14 patients were proven, but there are more that are in question.

Was It Right?

By law, evidently, there was no case, but is it right that he took these actions against medical guidelines?

If I was on a ventilator, like many of his patients, and near death, also like many of his patients, I would want a doctor to do the right thing for me, not the right thing by medical standards. No one would want to be in enormous pain and unable to function in their last days.

In my opinion, he provided the services necessary to keep his patients comfortable and make the end of their lives peaceful, with no pain and suffering.

What Do The Families Of The “Victims” Think?

While there was some anger regarding not knowing what was going on during this time; it was surprising that most of the families did not speak against the doctor. In fact, some families thanked him for his deeds.

Watching a loved one suffer is extremely difficult. In 2015, I was one of those families. While it was not COVID, nor was it the same doctor, my father-in-law passed away in 2015 after living his life with many disabilities, including COPD.

He was put on a ventilator and sent to hospice care. Thankfully, he survived for longer than they had thought. He was treated badly in hospice. They ignored complaints and left him alone all the time. Without going into more detail, after he was scolded in a shower because they turned the water on and left him there, unable to get himself out; we decided he was better at home.

My mother-in-law spent the rest of his days by his side, and the nurses in the in-home care kept him comfortable. We were more than grateful for the pain medication prescribed, and if he had been in more pain, I would hope that the doctor would comfort him by any means necessary.

Conclusion

So, even though I had a biased view of the trial, I am happy that Doctor Husel was not charged for doing his job and comforting his patients.

In your final days, if you were in pain and unable to do something as simple as breath on your own, would you accept “no, you have had the maximum dose” as an answer?
