Naughty nurse fired for having sex with patient who then died of heart attack

A British nurse who had sex with one of her dialysis patients in his car has been fired for failing to get help after he suffered a fatal heart attack during their romp.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Penelope Williams, 42, was discovered with a long-term patient after he was fatally stricken in the back of his car with his “trousers down.”

Now, an NHS disciplinary hearing has booted the naughty nurse from the profession.

Blowing off the hormone-charged hijinks, Williams reportedly told Welsh cops she met the man in the car after he messaged her to say he was feeling poorly.

He has not been named.

Williams “denied any sexual relationship” with the patient in a formal meeting with managers. Instead, the nurse offered that she and the patient were “just talking” and “sat in the back of his car for about 30 to 45 minutes.”

“She further explained that [the patient] started groaning and suddenly died,” according to a hearing of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

Then the truth came out.

Williams told the hearing that she and the man had been engaged in a torrid year-long affair. They often skipped off for sex after he received his treatment.

On the night he died, the nurse (involved in another relationship) admitted they had met for sex.

When the anonymous man had the attack, Williams admitted panicking and called a colleague instead of 911.

“[Williams was] crying and distressed and asking for help as she tried to explain that someone had died,” WalesOnline reported, adding that her colleague begged her to call emergency services.

The colleague — who tried to resuscitate the half-naked man —eventually called for an ambulance. It was not clear how long the delay was.

His death was put down to heart failure coupled with chronic kidney disease.

Disgraced Williams has been removed from UK nursing rolls for bringing “the nursing profession into disrepute.” She is forever banned from working as a nurse.

“Mrs. Williams’ actions were significant departures from the standards expected of a registered nurse, and are fundamentally incompatible with her remaining on the register,” the board ruled.

“The panel was of the view that the findings in this particular case demonstrate that Mrs. Williams’ actions were so serious that to allow her to continue practicing would undermine public confidence in the profession and in the NMC as a regulatory body.”
