Nurse News: ChatGPT Lawsuit Over Missed PE, cyclospora & the School Nurse Who Said No

A man is suing OpenAI, ChatGPT and Sam Altman, alleging the chatbot's advice to stay "recliner-bound" contributed to a near-fatal pulmonary embolism. Host Colton Lord breaks down what the lawsuit claims: negligence, unlicensed practice of medicine, defective product design. And he discusses what it signals about AI entering clinical care. 

He also covers the cyclospora outbreak now confirmed in 41 states, including the symptoms, the 2-to-14-day onset window, and the stool testing detail nurses can't afford to miss.

Plus: how one float nurse built a thriving med spa without a bachelor's or business degree, and the case of a Pennsylvania school nurse fired after refusing an assignment she believed fell outside her LPN scope of practice.
