A nurse has unsuccessfully tried to sue the NHS after claiming she was being secretly hypnotised at work - to force her to uncontrollably break wind.
*boggle* Gosh, I hope she was just a five-a-day consultant or something, not in a trusted position.
The Acute Medical Unit nurse...
Oh...
...described it as ‘extremely bothersome’ when she sent an email at work in April 2019. Its claims led bosses to become concerned about her mental health and they referred her to an occupational health team.
They weren't concerned before? Surely there was some warning?
Three different doctors saw her, with two deeming she was unfit to work, and the Trust repeatedly tried to get her to see a psychiatrist. However, Miss Samson insisted she was not mentally ill and refused to see the psychiatrist, claiming she thought she was being ‘experimented upon’.
At least they acted, this time.
Miss Samson was suspended then sacked in December 2019 for refusing to cooperate with psychiatric help, with the Trust saying ‘there was no other option’ than dismissal.
One hopes her card is well and truly marked and she can't apply for any other nursing job? But it's strange, isn't it, how some delusions are not tolerated, and some are not only tolerated but 'celebrated'?
"and some are not only tolerated but 'celebrated'? "
ReplyDeleteI wonder what those could be?
