Nurses squashed sick infant's face for fun and filmed the process

How on earth the nurse possibly do that?

Three nurses have been filmed squashing a baby's face for fun. The poor infant's face was out of shape as she squeezed so hard and laughed. 

The clip was released and sparked outrage online. The rude nurses were identified as staff at a maternity hospital in Taif, Saudi Arabia.


The nurses, who have not been named, were immediately suspended after they were tracked down. 

Their medical licenses have now been revoked and they are banned from practising nursing in other health departments.

The baby's father said the baby was in the hospital to treat urinary tract infection and was shocked when he saw the video.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Perhaps it was fate that a man's pickup truck got trapped in rising floodwaters unleashed by Hurricane Francine not far from where Miles Crawford lives.

The 39-year-old off-duty emergency room nurse is professionally trained in saving lives — quickly — and that's exactly what he did the moment he saw what was happening Wednesday night in his New Orleans neighborhood.

Crawford grabbed a hammer from his house and ran to the underpass where the truck was stuck, wading through swirling waist-high water to reach the driver. When he got there, he saw that the water was already up to the man's head. There was no time to waste.

He told the driver to move to the back of the truck’s cab since the front end of the pickup was angled down in deeper water. Gripping the hammer, he smashed out the back window and hauled the man out, at one point grabbing him just as he began to fall into the rushing water.

“It was kind of instinctive,” Crawford told The Associated Press. “Didn’t take much to break the window and pull the guy out.”

About 10 minutes later, the pickup was fully submerged.

Crawford, an ER nurse at University Medical Center, said he got out of the water as soon as the man was safe and never did get his name. Crawford cut his hand in the rescue — a TV station that filmed it showed him wearing a large bandage — but that was not a big deal for someone used to trauma.

Associated Press writers Jeff Martin in Atlanta and Lisa J. Adams Wagner in Evans, Georgia, contributed to this report.
