Arr, Penelope Williams, a nurse o' the land of UK, be cast out from her job at a hospital, for she did engage in forbidden pleasures with a patient in the parking lot, and alas, the poor soul met his untimely demise by way of a heart attack.
A British nurse named Penelope Williams has lost her job after it was discovered that she had maintained a year-long affair with a patient, known as patient A. The affair ended tragically when the patient died following a sexual encounter with Williams in the hospital's parking lot in Wrexham, Wales.Patient A suffered from dialysis and died of a heart attack during the late-night meeting in January of last year. Shockingly, Williams failed to call for an ambulance after the patient collapsed in the back of his car.
An investigation and hearing before a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) fitness-to-practice panel took place, during which it was revealed that Williams had ignored advice from colleagues who had urged her to call an ambulance. The panel concluded that her actions had brought the nursing profession into disrepute and were fundamentally incompatible with her remaining on the register as a nurse.
The colleague she had contacted instead of emergency personnel ended up calling an ambulance, but unfortunately, Patient A was already dead upon their arrival. Williams initially lied to police and paramedics, claiming that she had met with the patient after he messaged her on Facebook stating that he felt unwell. However, she later admitted to the ongoing relationship and that she had engaged in a sexual encounter with him that night.
The board's ruling was that Williams' actions were so serious that allowing her to continue practicing would undermine public confidence in the nursing profession and the NMC as a regulatory body. Consequently, she was dismissed from her job.
