Must have been pretty impressive to do that.

According to KMGH, the health workers had helped themselves to a peek at the deceased man's penis, at one point going so far as to open a body bag to view his departed parts.
"Multiple staff members viewed the victim while he was incapacitated, including after he was deceased," a Denver Police Department report states. "The complainant, Risk Management for Denver Health, made a mandatory report."

(35 posts)Hey, if I were lying dead on a gurney, I wouldn't begrudge the nurses a little peek. As long as they said good things.
But of course it was unprofessional.

(20,148 posts)Indeed, it must have been really exceptional, because nurses see plenty of dicks. I had a nurse friend that worked for a urologist. I asked here if it was weird seeing penises 40 hours a week. She said it was weird at first, but after a while "it's just another body part, like an elbow".
