A nurse has been found guilty of one allegation of professional misconduct and a breach of the nursing code for raising the use of cannabis oil with a patient at the Mater Private Hospital in Dublin.
The fitness to practise committee directed that the complainant, who is due to give evidence, be anonymised as Mr A. The report and finding of the hearing will now go to the Nursing Board, which will decide on any sanction that might apply.He felt it meant that his cancer was terminal. Mr A said he complained to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland because he was uncomfortable about the remarks and felt obliged to highlight the matter.
Sounds to me that nurse was acting out of beneficence & not maleficence. It may have been misguided, but the intent seems to have been to help. That garda did not have to pursue it to this level
Ridiculous decision. Trying to do her best for her patient. Should any therapy not be spoken about. Nurse of the month
how dare that woman try to take business away from the pharmaceutical industry
Raising the use of ... ? This is ridiculous. Cannabis is available in the UK and I am aware of an MS case where it has a massive benefit . Cop on whoever made this decision.
