"Society is sick of excuses after horrific events and it has every right to be." Fifteen profound words from the good Doctor. Well said Dr. Grande! The point you made about people suffering from Mental Health disorder bearing some responsibility in maintaining compliance with treatment was well thought out.

How in the world was this woman flying under the radar for so long is beyond me.

It is especially terrifying that she was working as an icu nurse where one tiny mistake could end someone’s life

Many years ago I was hit by a drunk driver (on my way home from my shift as an RN at the hospital no less). It was his 6th DUI. I discovered we had the same insurance company. When I met with the agent to discuss the extent of the damage to my car, I asked him why on earth they would insure such a person. He said, "Don't worry, we won't be from now on" and I thought, "Why? 7 was the limit? Hitting someone was the limit? And why?" To me, after a certian number of accidents/DUIs, you accept that someone is just too much of a liability. In my mind that would be way less than 6 or 7. But as Dr Grande says, money must talk. You can apparently try to buy your way out of being a deadly driver.

I absolutely agree, Dr Grande. As a person who has suffered severe depression, there was a time when I would go into such a deep depression that I would drive around looking for trees that would get the job done. I finally decided that wasn’t an option because I was afraid I would end up surviving but trapped in a broken body. I had several years that I was always on the verge of a meltdown. I voluntarily went to an ER and got myself transferred to a “treatment center” at a well known hospital in metro Atlanta. It was the worst experience of my life! Filthy, and the majority of the staff would not look at you or address you by name. As sick as I was, I wasn’t stupid. I talked myself out of that hell hole in less than 48 hours! I was intelligent enough to know what they wanted to see and hear, and I tailored my performance accordingly. When they discharged me, I seriously considered going back into the hospital thru the ER, taking the elevator to the top floor and making my way to the roof for a swan dive….but the transportation they arranged arrived, so I went home. Three years later, I decided to kill myself at work by hanging, but I spent my lunch break hunting for the belt I had kept in my locker for years. Time ran out on me, and my lunch break ended, so I just went back to work. I made it through a rough afternoon to closing, and a supervisor reprimanded me for taking too long to assist a customer(in front of all my coworkers)! I had a total meltdown and told her I had spent my lunch break planning to kill myself and all she could do was bitch at me to humiliate me in front of all my coworkers??? Well, I realized that I could never go back to work there, so I started crying, and couldn’t stop. My husband tried to take me to the ER, but after the first time, I refused to go. I finally agreed to call a recommended hospital, and see if I could self admit. It was a completely different experience! I told the doctor that I wasn’t going to lie and say I was better when I wasn’t. He listened to me when I insisted that the medication I had been on did NOTHING for me, and we had to start from scratch. I was there about 2.5 weeks before I started to come out of the pit of hell that I had been living in. I have not had a severe depressive episode since, in spite of losing my husband, my child, and my dear friend within 5 years, and caring for my quadriplegic son on life support at home for 5 years before he died. I cannot understand why a person would not take their meds when they knew they could not function without them! I do not EVER want to feel that way again…

Scary, a lot of other people like her are on the road and should not be driving

I like what you said in the end about despite all the mental issues it’s not an excuse to be selfish and irresponsible.

13 motor vehicle accidents...,??????? .this womans license should have been REVOKED A LONG TIME AGO....Horrific tragedy that was preventable....RIP AND Strength to ALL REMAINING FAMILY MEMBERS

Wow, Dr. Grande, your final thoughts were so brilliant! This whole video was! "Her victims were just minding their own business, going about their day, when they were struck by a five thousand pound missile. Nicole made her problems, into their problems." ♡♡

I had s neighbor, an ER doctor w/ bi-polar. I was gone for a few days and came home to him cleaning a fish in the kitchen sink and obviously had used the bathroom. I had just spent days preparing the house to be a rental. I told him to go home and he became very angry. I was pretty scared. Years later a nurse practioner friend defended his behaviour as no big deal. I wonder if there's a thing about medical profession people defending their own.... like they can do no wrong.

Wow, I'm never this early! I'm glad you are covering this case. From watching the video, she intentionally drove full speed into vehicles with no thought of the consequences. I am sympathetic toward her mental health history however I feel more for the people and the two babies, that died and the families left behind to pick up the pieces. Thank you for being frank with your conclusion. I feel that some people use mental health issues as a free pass for bad behaviours.

Imagine this Nurse caring for you…sends shivers up my mind

"Scarcity of apparel" cracked me up! What a tragic case. She truly needed help...

I wonder of all the non reported damage she done as a nurse.

Thanks! Dr. Grande, you said it all! " Society is sick of excuses after horrific events, and they have every right to be!"

The video of this accident actually shocked me the first time I saw it. No one stood a chance in that crash. This is basically the car version of that Germanwings pilot Andreas Lubitz who committed suicide by flying a plan full of innocent people into a mountain killing everyone on board. I saw you covered that one a couple years back Dr. Grande. Love this channel.

It’s Grande time. Omg. I live in LA and I am so glad you’re doing this heartbreaking case for us. What a tragedy. What a horrific accident. Thank you so much, Grande.

Nicole’s sister believed Nicole(who has been hospitalized due to erratic behavior) is acting strangely, just to stress you out? The ignorance is astounding.

ICU nurse? Oh no. I am a nurse, we do not take psych exams, typically. There is a nursing shortage.

She is responsible to stay on her meds.

Her reckless behavior kills multiple innocent people in one fell swoop. Then instead of admitting her guilt and suffering the consequences, she wants to fight the charges against her!! What a truly selfish and sick woman! Thanks Dr Grande for your straightforward and enlightening analysis.

My best friend’s son was bipolar. He was often so troubled in adolescence and as he grew older, he was off and on his meds. When off, he was full of histrionic, aberrant behavior, more violent all the time. His mother always became the target of his outrage. When she was planning to quit her job and become her granddaughter’s nanny, her son tracked her down at the daughter’s house and flew into a rage about some matter. My friend got her daughter and baby out of the house immediately and her son then shot her in the head and took his own life. She was 57 and he was 32. When the grief counselor came to our workplace, he told me that bipolar males usually get worse with age and have the non-compliant attributes. I don’t know if that’s true, but it did help me cope with the murder/suicide. So tragic, as is this case. So many lives touched by one’s serious mental illness. What is the answer? Where do you start? Is there actually an answer?

I wish people would stop calling this an "accident" and realise that she has to take responsibility for her own actions. Driving at that speed, on such a busy road was reckless, selfish and downright evil. She had no regard for others, and innocent lives were lost, and countless others ruined. Stop blaming others, and try putting the blame on the horrible person who did this.

As someone with mental illness, I can say that people often go off meds because the meds, while making you stable, can also make you feel emotionally numb, can have horrible side effects, or the person thinks they are cured and don't feel they need their meds anymore. That being said, while on meds, she chose to go off them without seeking any professional help. Mental illness can make life truly awful. Our healthcare system fails so many people suffering from mental illness. It's not an easy topic to navigate. BUT, as I said, she chose to go off her meds without any supervision or guidance on alternative meds/treatment. She is responsible. What I can't fathom is how she still had a driver's license. We really need to do something about the system as far as reaching a point (earlier than it is now) of when someone should no longer be allowed access to drive. This is a tragedy all around.

As a clinician and supervisor I was always firm in coaching supervisees to not avoid personality disorder diagnoses to be what I called "terminally nice," as the implications for treatment are so much different. I agree that this woman appeared to manifest hardcore bipolar symptoms. My understanding about personality disorders though, is that they're usually manifested earlier in life as part of personality structure development. I agree she manifested some symptoms, but likely did not meet criteria for borderline PD. Similarities with Anne Heche seem disturbing. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for your analysis, Dr. Grande. As a psychiatric nurse, I always enjoy your videos. As a traveling nurse, your insight about the Nicole Linton case has prompted me to explore our personality traits, our lifestyle, and our coping strategies.

30+ year (now retired) nurse here and I worked in a fairly rural area where you know virtually everyone. Over the years I have known families or individuals who seem to have been dealt far too many tragedies ~ and it doesn't seem fair at all. I've seen some of them who got through it amazingly well, while others struggled terribly, yet, there were others who simply could not overcome the struggle, stress, grief, etc. in order to keep living their lives. I feel like NONE of them likely got the mental health help that they truly needed after going through the traumatic in incidents that they went through. The medical community needs to do better when it comes to assessing the mental health needs of patients. They need an "Every Patient/Every Time" program where the medical staff asks more direct questions versus questions like "Have you thought about harming yourself?" or "Have you felt blue?", etc. They should ask a series of more direct questions like: 1. Have you had a death in your family or a friend since your last visit? 2. Have you been in a serious accident since your last visit? 3. Have any of your children left home since your last visit? 4. Have you had a change in your relationship status since your last visit? 5. Have you changed jobs or moved since your last visit? and the list goes on...... you get the drift. By asking these questions you could possibly head off an episode of depression or other mental health issue before it gets too bad, causes a suicide attempt, or even worse. These questions would cover some of the things that are considered the biggest stress-related issues in a person's life. We have to get more proactive when it comes to mental health care! We cannot simply wait to see if someone decides to go to the ER to seek out help, or rely upon friends and family members of a person to notice that they are struggling emotionally and try to talk them into getting help, and we definitely can no longer wait until another tragic incident happens that ends up in suicide AND/OR especially the injuries or deaths of completely innocent people! As a country we desperately need more funding and availability of both outpatient and inpatient mental health care. The powers that be in Washington seemingly think that it's absolutely fine to print off an absurd amount of money for everything else that you can think of. Why not make it a priority to do whatever it takes to deal with mental health care??? I get so frustrated by our politician's lackadaisical approach to funding solutions to the mental health care crisis in this country! They want to blame horrific crimes upon everything other than what they actually are caused by because they are more concerned about furthering their political agendas. Well, I will quit my rant and get off of here, but I do appreciate your listening to what I had to say! With gratitude, Lisa M. ❤️

There are always sooo many excuses after people are murdered. She didn’t care about anything but herself and now blaming all of these issues as if she’s not responsible. You deserve prison for a very long time

Lmao " ..a scarcity of apparel.." You've got a way with words Dr. Grande!

Thank you for doing a video on this very sad situation. My heart goes out to the families of those killed. She should never have been behind a wheel given her history of dangerous driving! Love your vidoes!

OMG I so agree with your comments about the person with the pathology must also be responsible and stop hiding behind "I dont know, I dont remember, it's not my fault"... in her specific case, what shock me is as a nurse knowing surely well the importance of the medications she had been given, she nevertheless stopped it. This was a voluntarily decision and she obviously knew that she was playing with fire and acting irresponsibly. I suffer from Bipolar disorder, and so far I have always made sure to see my Psy diligently and never forget my medications. Not only to prevent myself feel really in pain but also because I know I can be erratic and even mean if I dont take care of it... at least that's how I was many times before being diagnosed... of course I was a heavy drinker being the usual way out, and I also had to totally stop drinking or my medications would not be miracles... so yes, even if people with mental disorder often behave erratically out of control and are unable to even knowledge what they are doing, she was a functioning nurse, clearly not 24/7 under dangerous behaviours and enough of time in between to know she was seriously sick and need to be in a mental hospital to fix the best possible her condition... 5 innocent people died and they pay the price of her not taking care well enough of what was going on in herself. I am not condemning her for that as I know how difficult is the road to mental diseases, but she also destroyed her own life for being in jail for life. PS: I am shocked, although I understand the US is a huge country unlike like mine, Singapore) but how come people in the medical field dont have records following them wherever they work as a guarantee that they are not changing constantly of jobs for very risky/dangerous reasons, and investigated why the apply for the specific job like most big companies do... it's scary for the patients

it is important that people accept and be held responsible for their actions...

As a nurse and have been one for 20years I’ve seen this with some traveling nurses aka travelers. I’ve been a traveler which is a lonely job unless you’re getting out and living life. Now, in what land does she not get reported to the board of nursing? The public is in danger with her practicing. But at the same time people will report you because they’re mad or don’t like you. And the number of jobs and the number of states isn’t surprising for a travel nurse since contracts generally last 13 weeks. At the end of 13 weeks you can either renew if the hospital needs you and you like it there or you can move on to either home a perm job a vacation or another contact

_You know how it goes....._ Notification from Dr Grande _aaaaaaaaaand_ it's time to _immediately_ go to KZfaq! All else goes on the _"back burner"!_ 😆💻😅🎞🤣📱😂🖥🙃

Involved in 13 collisions. Driving her vehicle @ 90 mph. Nicole L & Ann Hesch?

This is by far the best take I've heard on this case. Clear, concise, and focused. Great work as always! (Edit: spelling)

Oh Dr. Grande I could not wait for your analysis on this case!!This is an absolutely awful tragedy but I can’t help but question her refusal to take her medication responsibly and consistently to manage her mental health, especially knowing that she is a health care professional. As a professional she was stable and in a state of coherence often around doctors, nurses and troubled patients, so I find it hard to believe she didn’t recognize that she needed to seek more intensive treatment for her mental health episodes despite the lack of complaints from her coworkers. I sympathize with people who suffer from mental health disorders but I agree 100% with my man, the boss, the G.O.A.T., Dr. Grande. She had a multitude of opportunities to step away from her career and invest in a stable treatment program from a reputable therapist who could properly diagnose and treat her. Instead she selfishly ignored her symptoms and episodes which culminated in her taking and ruining so many innocent lives and and a life not yet lived. I’d argue mental health if I was her defense attorney but I can’t wait to hear the excuses for her not taking responsibility for her own mental health. Thank you again Dr. Grande. You’re the greatest!🤗

How the hell do you keep your drivers license and job as a nurse with such a long history of a troubling mental disorder, interpersonal conflicts, and multiple run-ins with authority? The red flags were all there!

Yes!!! I'm diagnosed with a serious mental illness and it's my responsibility to seek treatment and function the best I can in society. The problem with bipolar and similar disorders is that non compliance is very common. It could be considered one of the symptoms. There isn't a medication for what I have, but therapy has been fantastic.

Another example of our broken mental health system. Our system is like a revolving door. Patients never stay long enough to get the help they need. While in the hospital there are few programs that can help. This accident should never have happened. Thanks for all you do to shed light on these issues. You are a master teacher.

My Sister’s Dad was killed by this lady…he was walking minding his business when he was struck. Update: For those who think I’m lying his name is Craig pitchford.

The kind of clubs that involve a scarcity of apparel. You are such a hoot Dr.!

Bless the families who lost loved ones that fateful day - what a tragic story

6:52 no one should be allowed to drive if they've been involved in 13 collisions! the system is BROKEN.

This case made me physically ill thinking about it. Empathy taken too far. The sadness left in the wake of what she did is unimaginable. So so sad.

This is such a tragedy. Travel medical staff can sometimes utilize frequent moves to limit the scrutiny of problems ( drugs, mental health, personality disorders) a permanent position would hopefully catch. The pandemic has only worsened the problem.

This is one of the worst accidents we have ever experienced in Los Angeles. I work on Slauson and grew up around this area. This is truly sad on all sides especially the families who lost love ones. I am still waiting for more evidence to come out on why she did this. Mental health to me is not enough to cause this horrendous accident.

I appreciate this fact-based professional analysis twice as much, knowing that Dr. Grande is also a victim of automobile accident and there are no personal feelings involved from his side.

I love that you have both compassion and demand responsibility from people with these disorders. I have a relative who seems to actually take pride in her many, many diagnoses and multiple (27 last I knew) medications. She doctor hops and harasses them for each diagnosis and more/continuing meds. She takes responsibility for nothing that happens in her life. Her two daughters have suffered and tried over and over but have very little to do with her at this point. She’s now in her 70’s and has used and manipulated people her entire life.

Great evaluation of the Linton case. Liked your conclusion that, no matter what, the patient is responsible for the maintenance of their treatment over time. The six innocents who were killed require justice as do the heartbroken families left to grieve.

Heyyyy Dr. Grande🤗 Thank you for the new video. I must admit, I was quite shocked when I heard about this when it happened. I live in Houston, so that made my eyes widen a bit more. I hope you're having a great night💞

Awake or half asleep, we’re glad Dr Grande has the best late night lineups !

Thanks for educating us more about Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder, Dr. Grande. After I learned about my ex-girlfriend having both health symptoms in 2020, your channel was the first place where I really soaked up knowledge about these disorders and 2 years later I find myself still learning and finding out even more. Thank you so much! This case is a major tragedy for all involved, especially the crash victims. RIP.

I am an RN in Texas as the subject of this video. I've worked through COVID in a very abusive environment and have a dx of CPTSD that I never even knew was a dx until I was diagnosed by a psychologist. I do not nor have I ever experienced sxs as severe or even close to what Nicole experienced. I will say that COVID was a high level sh"t show here and still is. I'm now waiting on EEG. Results to determine if I have MS or not after my health took a nose dive when I got COVID myself. Here's how this is related: my mental health has never been a problem for me at work or otherwise. I am now so fragile and have become stronger over the last year but still will become hysterical for seemingly no reason out of nowhere. I've BEGGED for help at work and been ignored or pumished for it. I don't know if Nicole asked for help. But I know that our profession is not accomodating or caring nor do they acknowledge the need for mental healthcare for us when it comes to our mental health even when we're proactive about it. at least not here. At least not during a pandemic.

Excellent analysis

Idc about her mental health. It’s her fault. Period. Take responsibility for your actions … This was preventable. She was competent enough to become a nurse, she should have been competent enough to drive safely.

This is so tragic. I live 5 minutes from where all this tragedy happened. We need to start taking care of our loved ones and their mental health. Horrible accident that potentially could have been prevented. Stay safe out there.

That was a sad and tragic story. Thank you Dr Grande. Brilliant analysis and tragic outcome and informative topic Thank you once again Dr Grande, you are the best.

I hope she gets the full 90 years.

i'm always amazed by those who can lead themselves and are able to create a life (ie: have multiple careers, highly motivated), but can't manage their mental health. i'm really struggling to create a life, but i don't have major mental health issues.

It's also could be that Hospital Staffers were reluctant to report odd behavior, due to being labeled as Bias , No one likes being called a sexist or a racist, so they kept their opinions about issues to themselves.

One of my sisters was diagnosed with comorbid bipolar disorder and BPD. It’s a difficult combination to manage. Thankfully the only person she ever hurt was herself. Oddly, she was also a nurse, and worked as part of a trauma team for over twenty years before becoming a travel nurse. She loved the opportunity to travel around the country. It could be stressful, but she seemed to thrive best under stress. This is such a sad case. I can’t help but feel sympathy for everyone involved, including Nicole and her family.

When I was diagnosed with hhv-6 and had severe issues with motorics, doctor used to say me: "its gonna be fine soon, you can go job"... Then I always replied, that I AM A CHEMIST, and surrounded with OTHER PPL in the lab, mostly students I supervise. I cannot put their and my own health and life at such a risk! What if smth explodes due to my shaky hands?! What if someone get a huge dose of X-Ray if I didn't close the facility properly?! I will not excuse myself... I cannot imagine, how its like to realize this type of things when someone has MH issues. Maybe they simply cannot get it... So sad... Thank you, Dr. Grand for your analysis

This woman really is a menace to society.

If I killed that many people bc I was reckless and speeding I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I would want to die. When I saw her crying during the hearing it looked like she was crying for herself. This woman needs to be locked up. I'm sure she'd rather go to a mental hospital than any prison and this is the goal of her lawyer.

So shocking that others died and she came out of that horrible accident ok. Like final destination. So sad for all parties.

She is a interesting individual. I feel sorry for the innocent ppl and their families who she harmed in the accident. She deserves to be held accountable!

Man I love you content Dr.Grande!

_Just all around a sad life & story._

Thank you for that final conclusion. I have watched a friend of mine escape consequences. My friend KNOWS she has medical requirements and needs, but she ignores them. I cannot believe she has not caused a situation such as this..yet. It hangs over all our heads as she escapes responsibility, time and time again.

Everyone may have mental illness, or breaks, and profession doesn't mean people are immune. I've known a few nurses who have bipolar disorder, and some who have BPD diagnosed. It's extremely important to keep on a medication regimen, and at least the nurses I knew who did have bipolar were very adamant about adhering to medication and lifestyle to prevent a break, as they would be unable to practice otherwise. The ADA does not forbid people with mental health conditions from practicing nursing, and psych evaluations are not conducted on would-be nurses. That said, no one I knew had a history like this lady. The BPD nurse I knew was a horrible person and a horrible nurse, but that is one and the examples here aren't meant to generalize. Either way, the point is, anyone of any profession (but especially things like nursing) need to adhere to treatment. If they don't, they still have to bear consequences for their actions. Most people have some sort of mental thing going on, but most people don't hurt others, including those who work in the health sector. I'm glad she won't be working now, but I'm still perplexed over how she was able to go this long without being monitored by the Board or so, but being a traveler I suppose she could find loopholes.

Formidable analysis , perspectives and perceptions..your thoughts are deeply insightful..I have a son who went through all these stages of different mental.disturbances and was wrongly diagnosed by the most emotional entire institutions...I.have deeply appreciated your presentation and the highly informed words and sentences ypu have used..plz keep.ypur good and needed work Salutaire pour la comprehension de la condition et tragedy humaine

Personality disorders can't be used as an excuse for everything. If anything those who have a diagnosis and receive treatment are often more aware and conscious of their disorder and it's potential for harm

I have BPD and have never hurt anyone….wanted to a few times.

The subtle 1 liners are underrated in all your videos Dr.G

Hi Dr. Grande! I will never tire of your analysis of cases. You are always so precise and fair with your final thought as well as your analysis! You need your own talk show!!

Frightening to think she was caring for ICU patients

Brilliant analysis as always. Thank you Dr Grande, tragic outcome and informative topic. Dr Grande you are the best.

I diagnosed a patient with borderline personality disorder and she complained to the state medical commission. She easily met 7 criteria so I'm confident I will be vindicated in the next few months. Ah fun times, spending a whole weekend composing my response letter.

Thank you Dr. Grande. I enjoy listening to you. I admire how calm you are and also really like your sence of humor.

I hate that everything is so reactive. My ex husband started showing symptoms and was diagnosed with schizoaffective behavior. I had been with him for almost 10 years when his symptoms started and the end was a spiral. Before that, things were relatively normal. After, he had an alternative personality - his name spelled backwards - that was evil. He told me it was his evil version. He once told me that he killed three people while speaking French. (He barely spoke French - I had to use Google translate). I called the police and no one had been killed in our area. Mania - felt like he was taking over the world. Pacing, talking fast, stayed up all night staring at his toes, literally. Try to get someone like that to take consistent medication, if they don’t want to. I have ADHD and I sometimes forget my medicine sometimes. He actually was very compliant with medication when not manic or depressive. But medicine isn’t a magic wand and it can be very difficult to find the right combination. He didn’t always remember what he did. We had to do a psych hold. I finally left after it was too dangerous to stay. He was homeless for years and now he’s doing better, but I’m sure it could happen again. All that to say, I think she’s dangerous and should be held accountable. But, I don’t think you can blame someone for not being medication compliant. Once a symptom hits, sometimes it hits hard enough so that the person won’t comply. It reminds me of someone with dementia who can’t remember to take their medicine, so they need a helper to remind them each day. We don’t have medicine to guarantee they will remember and we don’t hold it against them if they forget. The symptoms of mania and depression can also lead to being non compliant. But people who desperately need that consistency can’t always afford a helper to remind them. They need support, but can’t always get it. My .02. It’s. A horrible sad situation I hate mental health stuff. I was depressed during the pandemic lockdown for the first time. Except for sometimes saying a rude or hurtful thing when completely work down, I didn’t lose my decision making power. But seeing my ex husband, I do believe he did. He shared custody with my kids (court ordered and good for the kids), but I have them in Krav Maga. I believe he could try to kill them or me one day. But there is nothing that can be done about it. He got a forensic psych eval and they recommended no custody and he still got it from the judge…… the system needs a lot of help.

One of the things I didn't like when I was first diagnosed with bipolar 1 was dealing with the temptation to think I didn't need my meds once I started to feel better. The only reason I didn't stop taking my meds is I that I was told if I stopped my hallucinations might come back. I hated those hallucinations because I found it hard to function with them.

This case haunted me. I’m so appreciative that YOU covered it. Your last point provided me with moral clarity. You are a treasure.

Thank you for this episode! I agree 100%.

Dr Grande sepa que lo quiero mucho y que agradezco mucho su conocimiento y humor 💕💕🇲🇽

Hello Dr.Grand🧩e. Very good to see you. I always look forward to a fascinating ending to my day listening and learning from you. You are a cornucopia information. I hope you’re having a lovely evening thanks for showing up! ✨💜✨

Great analysis Doc. 👍

A tragic story this early morning…appreciate your thoughtful analysis Dr. G.

I thought they did extensive background checks when working in the medical field?? You work in the medical field but won’t take your meds? It just doesn’t make sense to me.

When brains brake we need to pay atention...😥

Dr. Grande, your analysis, on this particular case, is truly remarkable.💜

I had a friend in college who almost died in a collision with a head nurse of a local hospital.. who ironically enough did “safe driving” seminars (nurse was passing on a double solid line). Tried to get out of it with every claim in the book. When others are harmed, you take accountability no matter what your current state is.

There is no justice in the world, why is it almost always the people at fault that walk away almost free if bodily injury

For those wondering “how can she speed so fast in a city” This intersection actually follows a long downhill on La Brea without lights for close to a mile. It’s not hard for someone to get up to speed sadly and it’s a problem intersection here in LA for this reason.

Wow. How did this women get a job working with the most vulnerable??

I've had 2 episodes of a 100% psychotic break with total Paranoia, disassociation and auditory hallucinations. I was diagnosed with complex post traumatic stress disorder and I was not diagnosed with schizophrenia or disassociative identity disorder.. I do not remember most if not all of these breaks which landed me in an involuntarily committed hospital hospital stay. I. I have sympathy for her because I have been through what she has been through with 0 support system and it sounds like her family was not very supportive of her I feel for her, I am very surprised that she was Put in jail and not At least in a mental health facility. Sad

Looking at the footage I cannot fathom how this woman walked away from this crash, just unbelievable. Justice, karma, fate?? Only explanation.

Thanks Dr. Grande! Very informative. I agree with what you said at the end about taking responsibility. In order to do so though, the person needs to have insight into their condition. In this case sounds like she did. Then a chain of random events came together to end with this tragedy. Very sad!!!

Dr Grande the constant content is amazing, we can always count on you!!

What a horrific tragedy! Thank you for the level headed analysis, Dr. Grande.❤️
