1. Rectal Advertising
Our first nominees come from Lake Geneva, Wisconson. Local news station WISN says two nurses snapped photos of a patient’s X-ray and, according to their employer, posted them on Facebook. The patient in question allegedly had a sex device lodged in his rectum, hence the keen interest on the part of the nurses.
The accused nurse claims she never actually posted the pictures on Facebook—that they only discussed the incident on her page. Police haven’t been able to locate anyone who has actually seen the photos. Nevertheless, both were dismissed for misconduct.
Moral of the Story
Violating a patient’s privacy is just plain wrong. Violating a patient’s privacy, then advertising it on a social networking site is just plain stupid.
