Five nurses at Denver Health Medical Center were suspended for three weeks after they inappropriately viewed a deceased patient’s body and talked about it, a hospital spokesman confirmed to Denver7 Investigates Tuesday.
A tip to Denver7 said the nurses disciplined admired the size of the deceased patient’s genitals and at one point opened a body bag to view parts of the body. A hospital spokesman confirmed details of the incident.
A different nurse heard one of the disciplined nurses make a comment in May that the nurse felt was inappropriate and reported it to hospital staff, Denver Health Medical Center spokesman Josh Rasmussen said.
“Multiple staff members viewed the victim while he was incapacitated, including after he was deceased,” a Denver Police report says. “The complainant, Risk Management for Denver Health, made a mandatory report.”
The report says the incidents occurred between March 31 and April 3, 2017, but weren’t reported until May 8.
Denver Police confirm they responded to the incident but say the decision was made to have Denver Health Medical Center handle the issue internally.

I once put a guy to sleep for a gall bladder. When the circulator exposed him for the prep I heard her gasp a little. To say the guy put John Holmes to shame wouldn't be giving him enough credit. The dude's pecker hung clear over his hip and damn near touched the bed. At the time I was working in a 20+ room OR and every one of the women in that place (and a few of the tinkerbells) had to come and take a gander.
Me? Well...I just sat there and felt very inadequate.

I’m always amazed by what people don’t get away with because they can’t keep their mouths shut or, these days, avoid the temptation to post it on the Internet.
