Margaret Hamp is a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital and a former coworker of Lindsay Clancy, 00:53 "I was working on the labor floor when Lindsay first started with us." "So this would be the labor and delivery floor, and she started as a nurse, correct?" "Correct." "Had already been working there?" "Correct." "And and she was about what 24 years old?" "Roughly." "And came in as a young woman as a nurse, correct?" "Correct." 02:00 "Lindsay loved being a nurse. She was really good at being a nurse. She was compassionate. She was kind. She was a patient advocate. She was the type of nurse that you wanted taken care of you or your loved one when you walked onto our unit." 02:30 "Lindsay was often emotional during birth of complete strangers. She would she would cry and she would just say, "That was so beautiful.' You could just tell that she really loved being in that setting." "Over those years, right up until the time of Callan being born, fair to say that you stayed friendly with her?" "Yes." "And you're still friendly with her?" "Yes. 03:14 "So Lindsay and I worked the night shift together, and often on the night shift you get to have an opportunity to really get to know your coworkers and celebrate things that are happening in their lives, or support them with things that are not going so well. Lindsay asked a lot of questions of her coworkers about parenting. Simple things is she would pull the nursing staff about monogrammed lunchboxes, right down to sleeping habits. What questions do you ask a daycare provider to make sure that you're in the right place? She was often asking her coworkers childcare, parenting tips." 04:20 "I briefly kept in touch through text after Callan was born. I reached out to her, and I asked her for her address and how she was doing, so I could send her a gift. And then a few months later, she circled back to me to thank me for for the gift that I had sent her." "Do you recall an incident on on one occasion where she was looking or monitoring one of the children, and the child was crying, and we observed what happened after that?" "Yes." 04:54 "Lindsay often checked in on her kids while they were sleeping at night. Again, we worked the night shift, and she had the ability to look at her phone and see what Cora or Callan were doing in their cribs, and she shared that with a lot of us. There was one particular night that Cora was crying; she was probably about six months old, and Lindsay never let Cora cry. She wasn't at that point in parenting, and she was very communicative about that." "And Cora was crying on the monitor. It was the middle of the night, and maybe after 10 minutes, she started to call Pat, and he wasn't answering, and she got really worried that Cora was crying. But now Pat wasn't answering his phone, so in the middle of the night, she she called the police to do a wellness check on her family." 06:28 cross-exam "So the incident that you just told us about, where Ms. Clancy was watching the monitor overnight, you were aware that the police responded and everything was fine, right?" "Yes."
