Mary Brown, 38, faces one count of physical abuse of an elderly person and one count of mayhem.
A former Wisconsin hospice nurse is facing felony charges after allegedly cutting off a dying man's foot without his consent or permission from doctors.
The man had been placed in a nursing home in March 2022 after suffering frostbite on both of his feet, which became necrotic, after he fell in his own residence and the heat went out, the complaint said. Brown, a nurse who was working at the facility, allegedly cut the man's foot off on May 27 because, she told investigators, she wanted to ease his suffering and give him some"dignity," the complaint said.
Brown stated that she would have wanted the foot to be amputated if it had been her in the man's situation, the complaint said. Larson said that when Brown later asked him what to do with the amputated food, he assumed it had fallen off, the complaint said.
