A Hertfordshire nurse who called a 99-year-old patient "evil", kicked him and told him she would spit in his face has been suspended.

Christina Gavigan, a sister, tried to drag another patient along the floor by her feet at Hemel Hempstead Hospital.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) found 21 of 25 accusations proved and suspended Ms Gavigan for 12 months.

She did not attend and was not represented at the four-day Conduct and Competence Committee hearing in London.

Maximum suspension? - I'd have struck the cow off.
 
Suspension, what about prosecution for assault/ABH?😱
