Nurse Kimberly Saenz charged with injecting patient’s with bleach

Kimberly Saenz, a former nurse in Lufkin, Texas, was charged with injecting 10 patients with bleach at  DaVita Inc.

Saenz, 35, was indicted by a grand jury today in Angelina County on one count of capital murder and five counts of aggravated assault in connection with last April deaths that killed five people.

The unexplained deaths caused the dialysis clinic to close its doors last April, but later reopened under heavy state oversight.

In an interview last April, the clinic said they fired Saenz for lying about administering saline to a patient and documenting it on a patient’s chart.

”She admitted that she had administered saline to a patient because her venous chamber was clotting during her dialysis, and claimed she charted this on the chart,” a spokesperson for the clinic said. “A check of the chart revealed that Kimberly Saenz did not chart giving her anything.”
