A Twin Cities nurse is receiving drug addiction treatment after being charged with stealing a patient's painkiller, which left the patient in pain during a procedure at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, the Star Tribune reported.
Sarah May Casareto, 33, of Forest Lake, had a hearing Tuesday that she did not show up to, according to The Examiner.
Casareto stole a patient's painkillers meant for his kidney stone surgery and told him to "man up."
Casareto has denied the allegations and claims that she was sick with symptoms that were wrongly perceived as signs of the stolen painkiller.
