tf was the patient gonna do? complain? edit: /s, i know about the moral quandaries of stealing money from a dead guy for some snickers

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Man if I'm dead and the lad or lass who had to take care of me in my final hours wants a Snickers, I certainly won't have anything to say about it.

well, idk, family members might want to have a word with her?

but probably, somebody told her to get something and sadly she got there by the time the owner of the card died, and also sadly probably somebody was already fighting over the inheritence if any... im pulling all of this out of my butt btw, in case you cant tell by the probablies and idks and stuffs

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

it's likely that.... I mean, you know, it's always possible, in the event where... anyway, I would take it into consideration

It's their own fault: remember to loot your corpses folks! /s

Imagine throwing away your career for a dollar candy bar.

You're not you when you're hungry

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 10 months ago

so does this count as theft or graverobbing?

[–] Hylactor@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 months ago

What a well crafted pun.

[–] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm on the nurse's side. Fuck the credit card company.

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But it said debit card which connects to a checking account of cash that the family would be entitled to.

[–] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Oh, you're right. In that case, the nurse is stealing from the patient and not an evil, faceless corporation. This changes everything.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

Even if it were a credit card, wouldn't the estate still have to cover all debts before inheritance? So it would effectively be the same thing.

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's not the company money. It's the deceased money that most likely it's part of their family inheritance.

If you see someone stealing food for themselves or a small group you ain't seen shit - or you are shit & you are just mistaken what/who are you smelling.

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That doesn’t apply here.

She’s stealing from an individual, not a megacorp.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Oh, its not Dead Patient ltd?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe the megacorp is the hospital. It's stealing from the nurse(under resourced) and the patient(overcharged).

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The robbed stealing from the robbed doesn't make it okay, though.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

She didn't buy TVs from Amazon. She had an immediate physical need.

The nurses actions are a symptom. The focus should be on treating the cause (e.g. adequate food in break room).
