Lisa Driscoll didn't show up Thursday for her long-awaited sentencing in Newfoundland's fake-nurse case. In a twist, neither did the judge — sparing her an arrest warrant at the sixth postponement and counting.
Driscoll worked as a nurse without credentials, a breach of trust that strikes at the core of care work. Each delay stretches justice thinner for the patients and families owed answers.
Impostor professionals are a national anxiety — fake nurses, fake doctors, fake credentials in an era of forged everything. Every postponed reckoning tells the next fraudster the system blinks first.
