But this is a small town, with a 25 bed hospital , and Barbara Dawson was in poor health --- with an oxygen tank. If you've ever lived in a small town, you'd know that everyone tends to know everyone else, so it wouldn't be significant for a nurse to call a patient by her first name.
But let's pretend you're right. Even if it WAS a nurse and she HAD seen Barbara a lot -- SO WHAT? Barbara was in poor health with an oxygen tank. That didn't make her a malingerer.
JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT COULD YOU TRY LISTENING TO THE AUDIO? Then see if you feel the same way you do after reading the news reports. And while you listen, keep in mind that we now know that Barbara wasn't faking. She really was dying. Imagine the suffering she went through because first the hospital staff and then the police officer wouldn't believe her.
