The card was designed to pop-in-the-pocket as a handy carry-me-with-you reminder of the importance of treating the patients with dignity and respect, and read:</p> <p><strong>P</strong>lease show<br /> <strong>O</strong>nly<br /> <strong>K</strong>indness to the patients and<br /> <strong>E</strong>very<br /> <strong>T</strong>ime they ask for<br /> <strong>H</strong>elp, provide it willingly.<br /> <strong>E</strong>very<br /> <strong>M</strong>inute,<br /> <strong>E</strong>mpathise with their predicament.<br /> <strong>N</strong>urses must only show<br /> <strong>T</strong>enderness, provide<br /> <strong>A</strong>ssistance with<br /> <strong>L</strong>ove and supply an extra<br /> <strong>S</strong>ugar lump if they ask for one.</p> <p>The care worker was secretly filmed prodding patients with his index finger. When challenged, he said he was ‘checking for signs of life.’</p> <p><a href="http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=52341"><em>[Neat-O]</em></a> </p>
