A nurse for a New York City Hospital has been arrested after allegedly stealing a dying coronavirus patient’s credit card and using it for gas and groceries.
“From the very beginning, I knew it was a hospital employee. It would have to be,” she said. “But I even told someone, 'It couldn’t be a doctor or nurse.' Those words actually left my mouth.”“This was someone who was supposed to care for my father,” she said. “She went in there and gave him his medicine and then, what, went for his wallet? I can’t even wrap my head around it.”
She knows that families around the world are feeling helpless as their loved ones are hospitalized in isolation, and the idea that patients could be taken advantage of is horrible. “We are working closely with the law enforcement authorities and the hospital is conducting its own investigation,” the statement said.
