Don’t You Remember Me?
There are several accounts of Julia acting callously towards her dying patients. In one incident, a 9-year-old begged the “nurse” to care for his brother, who was gravely ill. “Oh, let him rave,” Julia reportedly said. “He’s used to raving.” The con artist did not care about human life and the boy ended up dying. In another incident, an older patient began to grow suspicious of his nurse.
