An assistant nurse at the National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry's Musashi Hospital in Kodaira, Tokyo, has been arrested on suspicion of stealing a patient's cash card and using it to withdraw 3.16 million yen from the account.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, Eiko Kanbara took a cash card from a 64-year-old female patient's bedside locker and used it to withdraw the money from an automated teller machine in the hospital 14 times between May 2004 and January 2006.
Kanbara, 53, from Higashi-Yamato, Tokyo, allegedly returned the card to the locker after withdrawing cash, the police said. She reportedly told investigators that she had a housing loan and was struggling to make ends meet.
Documenting Psychiatrists Behaving Badly
Of all professions, psychiatrists seem to get into the most trouble. I have been collecting stories about psychiatric screwups for a while. Sadly, it has been disgustingly easy to do. We post stories with links to the original sources. We couldn't make this stuff up if we wanted to. My Name is Sickmind Fraud.
