UK Nurse Sacked For Having Sex With Dialysis Patient who died In The Process

A 42-year-old nurse in the United Kingdom has been relieved of her appointment after a patient in her care died while she was having a s€xual intercourse with him in the hospital parking lot.

Penelope Williams, was fired from her job at a hospital as he died of a heart attack.

It was revealed that the hospital learned she had maintained an affair with a patient for over a year, ending when the man died following a s*xual encounter, Fox News reports.

According to the exclusive report, the decease, known as patient A, was receiving dialysis treatment, and he died of a heart attack during the late-night meeting in January last year.

Ms Williams, failed to call for an ambulance after the patient collapsed in the back of his car. He later died from "heart failure and chronic kidney disease triggered by a medical episode."

The episode triggered an investigation and hearing before a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) fitness-to-practice panel, which heard testimony that Williams had ignored advice from colleagues who had urged her to call an ambulance.

Patient A had met Williams through work, with Williams helping to treat him for his condition. When emergency personnel eventually arrived, they found Patient A partially n@ked and unresponsive.

Williams had called a colleague instead of emergency personnel, and the colleague urged her to immediately call an ambulance, only for Williams to delay in doing so. She was "crying and distressed and asking for help as she tried to explain that someone had died."

The colleague ended up calling an ambulance instead and Patient A was found dead upon the arrival of the medical team.

A disciplinary hearing found that the pair had a year-long s*xual relationship. During the late-night tryst with Williams, he suffered a heart attack with his trousers around his ankles.

Williams initially told police and a paramedic that she had gone to meet with him after he had messaged her on Facebook that he felt unwell. She claimed she had spent only about "30 to 45 minutes" in the back of his car "just talking," according to The Telegraph.

"She further explained that [the patient] started groaning and suddenly died," she had testified at an initial February hearing.

She later admitted to the ongoing relationship and that she had met up with him that night for a s*xual encounter. Her admission at a later hearing in May resulted in her final dismissal from her job.

Williams hid her 12-month affair with the man despite knowing that he was a dialysis patient under her at Wrexham Maelor Hospital. 

The board determined that Williams had "brought the nursing profession into disrepute," The New York Post reports.
