Catherine Hudson text colleagues at Blackpool Victoria Hospital saying she had drugged patients. She denies she actually did this.
A Blackpool nurse has denied drugging patients 'for her own amusement' while apologising for texts sent to colleagues saying she 'sedated one patient to within an inch of her life'.
In another she said: “If bed 5 starts he will b getting sedated to hell pmsfl [p****** myself f****** laughing]." Hudson said: “It was just fulfilling. To see a patient through a journey following a stroke… and to see them through their rehab stage and then hopefully see them leave with their families.”
Fellow nurse Charlotte Wilmot, 48, of Bowland Crescent, Blackpool, denies encouraging Hudson to sedate one of those patients. Both defendants have also pleaded not guilty to conspiring to ill-treat another patient. She said she had reported her concerns to management. Hudson said: “I still enjoyed the job because you had your group of people that you could offload to, but I used to go home and cry.”
