(Lake Geneva, Wisconsin) Two nurses have been fired from the Mercy Walworth Medical Center for allegedly taking pictures of a patient and posting them on a Facebook page. Authorities launched an investigation last week after an anonymous tip.
"There were two nurses that independently took a picture each of an X-ray of a patient," Walworth County Undersheriff Kurt Picknell said.Tip: slwlion
The patient was admitted to the emergency room with an object lodged in his rectum. Police said the nurse explained she and a co-worker snapped photos when they learned it was a sex device.
Police said discussion about the incident was posted on her Facebook page, but they haven't found anyone who actually saw the pictures.
The nurse removed her Facebook page from the Internet last week. Without more, Picknell said this conduct does not appear to violate any state laws. He has referred the case to the FBI.
