Nurse took man’s blood pressure then asked him if he wanted to have sex with her and told him it would be good for his health, complaint alleges
A complaint alleges that Canadian nurse practitioner Lori Chern offered a male patient sex during a medical assessment, saying it would benefit his health. British Columbia’s nursing regulator is investigating the allegation and has placed restrictions on her practice; the claims have not been proven.
The man had contacted Chern’s Kamloops practice for an assessment and paperwork required by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The complaint says she touched his arm while taking his blood pressure, made flirtatious remarks and questioned him about his sex life before making the offer. He later provided the regulator with screenshots of messages and said the paperwork was not completed.
In short
- A patient alleges a nurse practitioner offered him sex during an assessment.
