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.

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

I... almost admire the audacity

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!

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

That Could Destroy Her.

It's grim and audacious but if it was me, I wouldn't particularly care for such a small amount. If the nurse had made off with the person's life savings, that would be different, but £6? I can forgive that if it was me or a relative. I'd say it speaks to the state of the NHS if a nurse has to steal to pay £6 worth of food.

Why are you more bothered about £6 than the tories siphoning millions of taxpayer pounds to their backers and friends? You should ask yourself why you think theft on a grand scale is okay, but you're up in arms about £6. In fact, I ask that of all tory supporters, sort out your priorities.

Nurses get on average 34K a year to pretend she was poor and had to steal a dead persons money to buy crisps, sweets and fizzy pop (because when you are starving that is what you deffo would buy) is frankly ridiculous

[Cherie]

Food...
