What kind of people is Kaiser hiring?

The PE reports that "A nurse at Kaiser Permanente Riverside Medical Center is being accused by authorities of abusing her position to defraud a cancer patient." The nurse passed along private information about a 72 year old patient to allow her buddies to apply for a loan in the patient's name. Here's the interesting part:

"The woman's family found out about the scheme while the loan was being processed, when she received mail about the financial transaction, he said.

The district attorney's office arranged a sting operation, telling a realty company to have one of the suspects come to its San Bernardino office to sign a grant deed, Landrum said. Kayla Stewart, 43, of San Bernardino, who went to the office posing as the victim, was arrested on conspiracy charges, he said.

Six others, including two women who claimed to be relatives of the victim and a notary public accused of notarizing a fraudulent document, have been charged in the case, Landrum said."



I wonder how many readers think these folks ought to get some time in the big house?
