Crispy enough to crunch, soft enough to enjoy. A good bake.
Summary
A nurse at Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, John Stevenson, was fired for stealing leftover fentanyl, and the hospital's AI monitoring system failed to detect the warning signs. Doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital report having humans oversee similar AI technology, but this is not legally required. FOX 17 News has reached out to the Tennessee Department of Health and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s Office to inquire about potential regulatory changes.
