Nurse Loses Job As Sex With Patient Turned Fatal; Check Details

London: Heard of a nurse falling in love with a patient?

Rare, but not totally unheard of.

But what about a patient passing away while having sex with a nurse in the hospital premises?

Yes, it did happen in a hospital in Wales.

The nurse, identified as 42-year-old Penelope Williams, was fired after hospital authorities learned about her affair with the patient who died during a sexual encounter with her.

After denying initially, the nurse admitted to having an affair with the patient, who was found dead with his “trousers down” in the back of a car in the hospital parking lot.

The patient, who had been receiving dialysis treatment at the hospital, collapsed during intercourse and died due to a cardiac arrest.

According to a report in The Times UK, the patient succumbed to heart failure and chronic kidney disease triggered by a medical episode.

Williams’ colleagues had got a wind of her affair with the patient and warned her of dire consequences. But she didn’t pay heed to their advice.

Williams initially told the police that she had gone to meet the patient after he had messaged that he was feeling unwell.

The Telegraph reported that the nurse claimed she had spent “30 to 45 minutes” in the back of the car and that they were “just talking.”

During her trial before the medical panel in February, Williams said that the patient started groaning suddenly and died.

It was during the hearing in May that she admitted to the relationship with the male patient and said she had met him that night for a sexual encounter.

The hospital held that the nurse had “brought the nursing profession into disrepute” and decided to sack her.

Williams not only breached decorum of her profession, but more importantly, failed as a medical practitioner by not calling an ambulance. She instead called a colleague after the man collapsed in the car.

“Williams’ actions were significant departures from the standards expected of a registered nurse, and are fundamentally incompatible with her remaining on the register,” ruled the hospital board.

Allowing Williams to continue practising as a nurse would undermine public confidence in the profession, the hospital felt.
