In a St Catherine Hospital basement classroom a mock trial tests nurse accountability amid a wrongful death scenario. The program by University of Kansas Medical Center and area health educators aims to demystify malpractice suits for more than 20 attending nurses, with attorneys Holbrook and Lynch guiding the session and Judge Thomas Tuggle presiding. The simulated case centers on nurse Louise Flower, played by Esther Oppliger, and concludes with a not at fault verdict for Flower and a $25,000 award to the widower to cover the surgeon’s fees.

Indigent clinics in cities like Hays and Great Bend cope with growing demand as deductibles bite and preventive services become unaffordable. Policy changes urged include broader enrollment in Health Care and Medicaid, expanded coverage for poor parents, and state support for small employers.
