>In an email in response to the council, Rajoo said: “I have not been practising as a nurse or have any intention of practising in the near or distant future.

Then he should be criminally charged as well.
Kudos to the manager for picking it up. Not everyone would have spotted they had a dose unaccounted for, or investigated it.
This is disgusting with the lack of care however, this is suspicious with the start of the anti-nurse stories especially with nurses being balloted for strikes

Unfortunately neglect like this isn’t an isolated incident in nursing care.
Now I think the VAST majority of medical staff are amazing, especially considering what theve been through in the last few years but I’m talking about those individuals in the industry who just seem to have stopped caring that these are human beings they are looking after.
My mother was in hospital for the last few months of her life and had some mobility issues. We repeatedly found that she’d been left to sit in her own urine and excrement for hours because certain nurses when on duty had labelled her “difficult” and wouldn’t visit her room.
We complained but after she passed away the complaint mysteriously “disappeared ” from the system.
I get it can be very stressful and frustrating dealing with ill people, especially if the patient is confused, but if it gets to the point where you’re willing to let them sit in their own crap for hours, changes jobs for goodness sake.
Some people get jobs working with vulnerable people, animals, children as they want to help the people who need it.
Some people get these jobs because they can get positions of power and control over the vulnerable and weak.
Paying these positions poorly, or not even paying at all, means normal people are less likely to work these jobs,and cruel arseholes more likely.
Let’s put him on oramorph for a month then deny him a dose and see how lazy he feels in opiate withdrawals.
This is beyond cruel to me as an ex opiate addict and I’ve never had a brain tumour either, the pain must be excruciating. I’m only assuming the patient was physically dependent on morphine but I’d say it’s fairly likely they were to some degree.
Sounds to me it was give the patient sugar water so he can steal morphine and it would still be accounted for so would go unnoticed.
Nursing home nurse here. 20ml of morphine was unaccounted for, I presume it’s 10mg/5ml. I’ve never seen prescribed dose higher than 5ml so potentially that wasn’t only one time that happened
Sounds like psychopath behaviour to me.
There seems to be an uptick in negative stories about doctors and nurses atm and we need to be careful with such stories. Whether a specific story has merit or not, there is likely an anti-NHS agenda behind bringing it into the public eye. Soon, we will probably be asked whether or not to support striking NHS workers, and we can’t allow our answer to that to be coloured by one specific person having possibly given less than ideal treatment.
Some years ago, when my dying mother, already on the Liverpool Care Pathway, was screaming in pain, and I went to tell the nurses, one just laughed and said “yes, she would, wouldn’t she”. And did fuck-all. Another nurse (a male one) told her she was “disgusting” for wetting the bed after nobody came when she buzzed. I got her moved to a different ward after that, where the nurses were wonderful, but christ, that was just so scary and disturbing and awful, not just for my mum, but for anyone else these arses “cared” for. (Yes I made a complaint but fuck knows what happened to it after that, I was too busy grieving.)
I remember when headlines like this would be satire.
“I have not been practising as a nurse or have any intention of practising in the near or distant future. I am 64 years old and I have completely retired from nursing in all capacity. So whatever the outcome, it is of no relevance to me any more.”
Ok.
It should have been a criminal offence and prison time!
Our Mam recently had surgery and her comments on the nurses were pretty scathing. I think the way they got hero worshipped during covid has definitely impacted the profession
I think the reason was, because he had the morphine him self, which accounted for 20ml of morphine unaccounted for, which he would of log in the book, that he had administered to the patient, if she hadn’t complained.
As a person who in the past has had and overcome a complicated relationship with the poppy, I’d put a months salary on Rajoo having got himself a wee habit together which saw him both dipping into supplies and making up the shortfall with simple linctus in attempt to cover his tracks.
What an asshole. And not just for his actions but also for that response. Can’t even fake an apology, prick.
Are nurses shud b paid footballists wages share if u agree xx
If it’s a civil matter patient should sue him for damages for the pain and suffering endured
My father had glioblastoma. Morphine was the only thing that made his last few weeks somewhat manageable. His nurses were all kind and compassionate. What this person did was torture. Pure torture to someone already in agony.
I’m guessing we’re still paying for his pension though.
Trying to trick a patient with a placebo is a serious ethical issue. Placebo can be given after a process is followed, it cannot just be decided upon by an individual.
This “nurse” has no right to call himself that. Nurses are there to care for their patients and to administer treatment prescribed by the doctors (or if they are an INMP). The patient had a brain tumour and was in pain. This “nurse” attempted to trick that patient. He could have just explained “no I am not giving you morphine at this time because of x, y, z.” He didn’t, he decided to deceive a vulnerable person while he was in a position of trust. Disgusting!
I’m glad he lost his career. His parting statement says it all, really, doesn’t it? Zero care or concern for anyone but himself. I know some of the Rajoos in Colchester, though not this individual.
Too right! Bloody brain tumour patients, lying around in bed all day, dying. Who do they think they are?!
It was an assault, clear and simple
that’s pathetic.
you could choose any profession but you choose one where you have to care for people. like you know what that entails, right?
I don’t know if it’s the same for you guys in the UK but here in the states it’s so god damn hard to get pain medication due to the opioid epidemic and other factors. I have severe nerve damage and the only thing I have been offered for my pain is extra strength advil. It’s been like this for the past six years for me.
