I heard about this on the news last night. I spent the first 8 years of my career as a staff nurse at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. This makes me absolutely sick. The patient is physically helpless and vulnerable and this guy chose to take advantage of that. How dare you abuse a patient in that way. His action calls into question the integrity of every nurse who is or has been on staff there. I would never take advantage of a patient's trust that way. You can't ever be too careful. We used to explain to patients everything we would do before ever starting care. To the father's credit he said that everyone else on the staff has been outstanding, except this one nurse who seemed a little distant. This breaks my heart.
