Covid Hospital Worker
Used dead patient's bank card to buy crisps,
sweets and fizzy drinks.



Scum/



[A healthcare assistant working on a COVID
ward has been convicted of using a
dead patient's bank card to buy crisps,
fizzy drinks and sweets from a hospital
vending machine.

Ayesha Basharat, 23, took the card
from an 83-year-old woman who had recently
passed away at Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham.
A doctor recorded her time of death as 1.56pm
on 24 January, but just 17 minutes later,
Basharat made six £1 purchases using
the vending machine's contactless payment system.]

£6. Grim.

Not that it would be "fine" if someone stole significantly more than that, but seriously.

It reminds me of when little bits and pieces of charity money used to get stolen from the counter at work. Like obviously all stealing is wrong but you can ALMOST understand someone running off with £100 that they've seen lying on the counter...

...but when someone pilfers a £2 coin from cancer research, it's just somehow so much more sad.

I... almost admire the audacity :worry:

my contactless payment is on my watch which requires my pulse to use it

honestly if i die do i give a **** if someone used my money to buy a meal deal for their lunch? i wouldn't because i'll be dead

but your family would rightly be somewhat peaved

No that's very true, i wouldn't either. But can you not see the utter disrespect on the nurse's part? The woman had been dead for 17 mins, and the nurse was down the shop using her bank card. Sod the money, it's the principal. Absolutely disgusting. Imagine if that was your granny, one of your loved ones?!


Revolting behaviour. Complete lack of respect for human life. Heartless!

Do you not think it's insensitive though ? , why would someone do that .

Look Nicky a
Crime is a Crime
it would be the same in your Little Nation.

Imagine wanting some jelly tots so badly you’re willing to risk going to prison

Right? :skull:

Get her ugly mug on the internet and shame the heartless woman

Yeah, I'm not sure how to articulate it but it's almost like trivialising the death of a person more or something?

That Could Destroy Her.

there's a mugshot in the article?

When will the GBP realise the NHS is trash?

Yes but its a Close Face one

Ewww, shes ugly.

crisps, fizzy drink sweets...lunch

so you would rob somsome you came across lying dead on the street....lovely!

There are certain things you expect in a civilised society and robbing the dead isn't one of them

Mte

rite at the responses.. the old dear was 83 maybe she told ha she could grab some little bits for herself

Think I would call 999 first luv

The NHS IS NOT trash :rolleyes: , we can't judge everyone the same just because this particular NHS worker decided to be disrespectful and cold to the dead. I actually worry about the future of the NHS.

In my scenario they are dead and you are picking their pockets ...

You can't put a conscience into somebody who hasn't got one, don't waste your time.

True Swan

Please stop embarrassing yourself.

So it's only stealing if you buy drugs with the money? I don't think that's how the law works Nicky :laugh:

didn't a policeman go to jail for doing something similar at a murder crime scene?

Yeah you're right, **** the elderly lady, she's dead now, might as well throw her in the wheelie bin and be done with it.

If no crime was committed cause she was dead, then jimmy saville is innocent of many of his crimes committed in hospitals.:shrug:

No, i don't mean it like that

Why is nobody wondering why this hospital worker is going through a dead patient's personal belongings in the first place , the only way you'd want to go through a patient's wallet / personal stuff etc is to find ID and contact details for their family and next of kin surely ? . Why would the first thought be to steal money/ use their credit cards??!:umm2:

will you rob your Nan when she dies Nicky?

sounds to me like it was a daily occurrence and how they paid for their snacks every day

Its not about the amount or what she bought. Its an abuse of her position and the trust the family have put in the NHS. I am sure she was overworked and underpaid as a HCA at the moment but stealing from a dead woman....is low.

It may seem trivial to some as it was only £6 but that woman's family will not think like that. They have just lost a family member and someone is stealing from them before they're even cold??? Grim tbh

Hm. Perhaps not "daily" but yeah it may well not be the first time.

:joker:

well said

makes you wonder what else NHS staff are robbing?
