Nurse Gets Suspended Term for Removing Nails of Elder Patients (Japan)

Nurse gets suspended term for removing nails of elderly patients

 30th March

KITAKYUSHU —

The Fukuoka District Court on Monday sentenced a former female nurse to six months in prison, suspended for three years, for removing the toenails of two elderly patients at a hospital in Fukuoka Prefecture in 2007. Prosecutors had sought a 10-month imprisonment for Satomi Ueda, 42, arguing that she caused the two female patients to bleed by clipping their toenails too deep with a nail clipper and such an act ‘‘is not considered proper treatment.’’
