| It was seven years ago that Jane Thompson's world was turned upside down by a hospital tragedy after which the Health Care Complaints Commission attempted to frame her – twice.
In her own words, she "will never rest" until she can be certain it will not happen to another nurse.
Ms Thompson was an anaesthetic and recovery nurse at Bathurst Hospital when, in June 2007, a 29-year-old woman, who had just delivered a baby by caesarian, came into her care. The mother died from a post-partum haemorrhage.
The case was investigated internally with a 20-page departmental report later forwarded to the NSW Coroner.
While no concerns were identified about nursing care, issues were raised about the medical supervision of the patient.
