My question involves malpractice in the state of: Illinois
I know a nurse who was watching over a patient who was admitted to the hospital on suicide watch. He was drunk and on heroin at the time. The nurse stayed at his bedside all night and eventually they started talking. Shortly after they began having an affair. They were caught and she claimed not to be sleeping with him, but instead was trying to help him get better. During the 3 month affair, he came to her house high and she let him in the house with her infant daughter. He got progressively worse and beat her up one night. She broke off the affaire and shortly after he committed suicide with a lethal dose of heroin. My question is, is a relationship like this between a nurse and patient legal? I've read that the AMA States it is not allowed, is this true? Should someone speak up? And if so, who should be contacted.
Thank you all
