MEDINA, Ohio -- A Medina County nurse accused of giving laxatives to elderly patients pleaded not guilty to patient abuse charges Monday.
Authorities say Susan Mejak and another night shift nurse at Willowood Care Center gave extra laxatives to patients in order to make work unpleasant for day shift nurses.
The other nurse was sentenced last week to 10 months in prison after pleading guilty to patient abuse charges.
