Workers Gave Elderly Patients Laxatives To Prank Next Shift

[mysteriew]

What is being described as a "prank" that occurred last year has resulted in serious accusations against two former nursing home employees from Irvine.

Lisa Kilburn, 27, and Kim Congleton, 30, were both certified nursing assistants at Irvine Health and Rehabilitation Center. They're accused of giving laxatives to patients who did not need them, including older and medically fragile people. The patients suffered pain and rectal bleeding.

It's better to buy rubber barf at a joke shop than to assault any patient. Maybe NA's need to learn more about the patient care and protection laws in their areas. It seems that they didn't know that this was assault. :slap:

What makes me mad about this is how most NA's are genuinely good people and these dipsh*ts are the ones that make them all look bad. :furious:
