Texas Nurse On Trial After Reporting Doctor

February 8, 2010 A nurse in Texas is standing trial for reporting a doctor she thought was practicing bad medicine.

Mitchell says she was just trying to protect her patients. Kevin Sack of The New York Times says much of the case stems from local politics.
