Nurse Under Fire For This Photo

Shocking images: A senior nurse at Haifa’s Bnei Zion Medical Center’s neonatal unit was photographed recently with a premature baby-girl in her uniform pocket – as a humorous gesture.

Ynet has obtained the original footage, but has chosen not to reveal the nurse’s identity. The nurse is considered one of the ward’s most dedicated employees, with a career spanning more than a dozen years.

Wow. The parents must be incensed, right? Well, it’s not quite that simple.

“It Illustrates the ‘kangaroo method’ which is supposed to teach parents how to create a direct physical bond with the preemies,” he said. “After we realized that when people see the photo they either smile or are completely shocked, we decided to take it out of the presentation.”

The nurse shown in the photo, stressed Dr. Rofe, “is a senior nurse, who’s very good at her job. All she did was pose for the photo, she didn’t initiate it.”

Still, that hasn’t stopped people from calling for her job. What do you think?
