A recent surgery patient with severe pain called to get help and instead got some weird advice.
The patient called Australia’s Queensland Health 13 Health Hotline and the nurse who answered the call didn’t address the woman’s pain concerns. Instead the nurse doled out this: self pleasure under the shower and rub oil on her butt.
Needless to say, Queensland Health immediately released a statement as word of the call got out. "We apologize for any distress caused to the patient, which is why we took immediate action including launching an investigation and making direct contact with the patient to follow up and apologize,"
The nurse, who broke the strict hotline guidelines, has been benched as the investigation continues.
