Nurses suspended for checking out size of corpse's genitals

Must have been pretty impressive to do that.

Five Denver Health Medical Center nurses were disciplined for admiring a patient's genitals after he'd gone on to meet his maker.

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."

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.

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".

The least they could have done would have been to show the poor guy some appreciation while he was alive so he could get some satisfaction out of it.
