The trout option comes to life
 

'Fish face' nurse gets the sack

A NURSE who slapped a colleague's face with a frozen trout before moving the fish's lips and saying: "give us a kiss" has been struck off.

Britain's Nursing and Midwifery Council ruled at a disciplinary hearing that Patricia Jennings, 55, who also poked a woman's breasts to see if she was pregnant should be banned from practising to protect the public.

In a bad week for the reputation of the nursing profession, Christine Mitchelson, 52, of Newcastle was struck off after the tribunal heard she put a patient's glass eye in a glass of Coca Cola and served it to her ward sister. Ms Mitchelson faced 12 counts of professional misconduct, including drawing a smiley face on a patient's hernia.

You were scooped last week.

Dola. Although I hadn't heard about the glass eye or hernia hijinks.

I don't doubt it, but I never saw it and I didn't know the story was that old. It just got Farked yesterday.
