Nurse Stanishefski
Is Dangerous

Vicki Stanishefski is a liar!

Vicki Stanishefski is dangerous to her patients.

Vicki Stanishefski is an evil, self-serving prison bureaucrat.

Vicki Stanishefski (also sometimes spelled "Stanisefski") is in a position to do a lot of harm. She's the nurse in charge of medical services at the infamous state prison at Frackville in East-Central Pennsylvania. One thinks of a nurse as being compassionate, concerned and nurturing. Most of the nurses at even at the Frackville prison are just that. Vicki Stanishefski, by contrast, is anything but compassionate and nurturing. If she's concerned, it's only with her own position and with herself.

Vicki Stanishefski seems perfectly willing to sacrifice patients' well-being to further her personal objectives.

It's difficult to figure out how she slithered her way into the prison job of "Correctional Health Care Administrator." Judging from what she does now, we assume that she must have lied, been deceitful, defensive and self-serving. She certainly didn't advance because of any sincere concern for the safety or well-being of her patients.

In apparent retaliation for a patient's complain about her, Vicki Stanishefski plotted a scheme to get rid of the old man. He was a heart/lung patient. She figured she could easily have him shipped to a so-called "personal care facility." That's one of the death-camps where aging prisoners are sent to die. Pennsylvania has two such death-camps. The smaller is a converted tuberculous hospital at Laurel Highlands in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The other is the brutal former madhouse at Waymart in far Northeastern Pennsylvania.

The real motivation for the transfer seems fairly obvious. Maybe the stress would kill the unpopular patient. His heart was quite bad. Stress, such as the stress and commotion of the transfer, along with being separated from his attentive and adoring wife, would be highly detrimental to him. His wife is what had kept the patient going for 30 years.

The patient had only a few months remaining on his sentence. He was literally counting down the days, well under 200 remained. He repeatedly pled with imprisonment officials to simply let him alone so that he could survive and go home.

Vicki Stanishefski would have none of that. She had her own priorities, the safety and health of the patient be damned! She had power. She insisted on the transfer. The prisoner and his family did all they could to avoid the stress and risk. At this time we don't yet know the outcome of Vicki Stanishefski's scheme. We don't yet know how badly the patient will be harmed.

It's a serious mistake to trust in the good faith and intentions of persons employed by the Department of Imprisonment. The kinds of persons who seek such jobs are very seldom good people with good intentions. Most often they are like Vicki Stanishefski.
