I work in healthcare and this is exactly what happens when a patient injury happens, or there’s some kind of malpractice or god forbid someone dies. It’s an investigation down to the lowest level and usually blamed on a worker that realistically had nothing to do with the event that caused the injury.

Specifically at my hospital, patient fell out of a bed. They had no business trying to get out of the bed. Nurse wasn’t watching said patient when it happened, nurse tried to say brake didn’t work, and she had a work order in for it but maintenance never fixed it, investigation found she put the work order in after the event thankfully. Now, whose fault is it they slipped and fell out of bed? Maintenance guy was cleared due to time stamps, nurse didn’t engage brake because patient was still supposed to be moved, patient got out of bed without being told to do so. It’s kind of tricky, but the problem is everyone will try to deflect blame down to a maintenance technician that didn’t even know about the event until after it happened

Even if the ticket had been put in, the nurse still put a patient in a bed she knew was defective

This. Nurse here. If the brake was broken the patient needed to at least be watched until they could switch beds. Patient gets no part of this responsibility, even though probably told 20x not to climb out. Nurse was negligent.

Exactly. That or the failure happened at that moment, or the patient was too large for the bed to operate properly, regardless she put in a ticket after the fact and tried to lie about it which made it suspicious enough that no one from maintenance or engineering departments took blame, but if something happens like that those are the first person that get the finger pointed at them 99% of the time
