Clorox Is The New Botox

A Lufkin, Texas nurse has been arrested for allegedly injecting two patients with bleach.

Kimberly Saenz, 34, worked at the DaVita Lufkin Dialysis Center until being fired on April 29. She was charged last Friday with two counts of aggravated assault.

DaVita, the California company that runs the center, reported an "unusual cluster of deaths" this past April, and has blamed it on a former employee, while not linking Saenz directly. Two patients suffered serious injury in separate incidents on April 28, when witnesses report watching Saenz inject bleach-filled syringes into dialysis patients. Both survived the complications from the bleach, though one was admitted to hospital for treatment. The reports bear some similarity to a recent Nocona, Texas case involving a nurse who used a muscle relaxant in high doses to kill 10.
