"Working as a care giver in the Uk isn't for the faint hearted. I worked for 28yrs as NHS ED nurse. I have had all sorts from urine bottle thrown by bleeding drunkards on Saturday to being swear at. I got out of that unhealthy environment after developing HTN. So sorry you are in the state."

"Oh sweetie 🫂🫂🫂 I'm hoping it was a mentally impaired patient that did this? (not that it makes it any less awful) my sister worked in a care home that specialised in dementia and Alzheimer care, and was beaten quite badly by a patient. It can be a dangerous job at times. Sending you lots of love and hugs. And thankyou."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian healthcare worker was jailed in the UK for kissing a patient.

The man was working as a health care worker at York Hospital when the sexual assault offences happened, as stated by the prosecutor, Henry Fernnandez. Judge Alex Menary disclosed that the man had “abused the trust” placed in him as a medical professional.

As reported by The Punch, Fernnandez said the man, aged 47, was allocated to bathe a patient who was in a lot of pain. He first kissed the patient on the lips after bathing her, even though she was in pain and unable to fully resist the act.
