NURSE SUSPENDED AFTER HOLDING A TERRIFIED PATIENT'S HAND BEFORE SURGERY "WITHOUT APPROVAL"
NURSE SUSPENDED AFTER HOLDING A TERRIFIED PATIENT'S HAND BEFORE SURGERY "WITHOUT APPROVAL" NASHVILLE, TN — A Tennessee nurse has been placed on administrative leave after allegedly staying with a frightened surgical patient long after her shift ended because the woman was too scared to be wheeled into the operating room alone. Hospital officials say Emily Carter, 33, violated protocol by remaining in the pre-op bay for nearly 40 minutes, talking with the patient, explaining each step of the procedure, and holding her hand until anesthesia staff arrived. According to the satirical disciplinary report, Carter was cited for "providing unauthorized emotional support," "remaining in a restricted area after assignment completion," and "failing to return to her scheduled duties." Witnesses say the patient had been crying uncontrollably after learning she'd never undergone surgery before and had no family able to be there. By the time doctors arrived, the patient had finally calmed down. Hospital administrators reportedly thanked Carter for her compassion—before handing her a suspension notice later that afternoon. When asked why she ignored repeated radio calls to return to her unit, Carter allegedly replied, "Because she needed a person more than she needed another policy."
