Inside sources within Asante have since disclosed details surrounding the reported deaths, per NBC5 News. It is alleged that up to 10 patients died of infections contracted at the hospital.

The sources claim the infections were caused by a nurse who purportedly substituted medication with tap water.

It is alleged that the nurse was attempting to conceal the misuse of the hospital's pain medication supply — specifically fentanyl — and intensive care unit patients were injected with tap water, causing infections that resulted in fatalities.

Medford police have confirmed their active investigation into the situation at the hospital but have refrained from providing specific details.

The sources indicate that the unsterile tap water led to pseudomonas, a dangerous infection, especially for individuals in poor health, commonly found in a hospital's ICU.

It's not even that. They are already in the building. I am just asking them to go and work on a different unit that had two people call out 15 minutes before shift start. I literally had a nurse look at me and say "I'm too valuable to be disrespected like that. If you don't start treating me right, I'm walking out that same door I came in." This was after I asked her to go do the exact same job she was doing on an adjacent unit where she didn't like one of the aids there.
