'Nurse told me to take off my bra, loosen pants to help lower blood pressure' PostNewspaperSA
Durban - A male nurse at an Isipingo hospital has been suspended following allegations he requested a patient remove her bra and loosen her pants to help lower her raised blood pressure.
She said the family had known the nurse, as he had previously examined her older daughter at the same hospital.“So when my younger daughter got accepted to work overseas, she was also asked to undergo the same tests and went to the same hospital .”She claimed the male nurse called her and advised her not to go to the hospital as the daughter would be there most of the day.
“My daughter said she was afraid to scream, for fear that he would inject her with medication that would make her drowsy.” The nurse allegedly also told the daughter she needed to return the following day for additional tests.
