DT article said:

A woman with severe learning disabilities has been awarded £65,000 in compensation from the NHS, after hospital staff cut up a doll that she treated as her own child.
Susan Hearsey may never recover from the cruelty she suffered when her beloved doll was damaged and disfigured in front of her after she was admitted to Walsall Manor Hospital, her lawyers say.

This is certainly not the first article I've read about nursing staff exhibiting pure callous cruelty towards a vulnerable patient.

What on earth possesses people who are supposed to be caring for someone to be so absolutely heartless and why on earth are they still working as nurses?

DT article said:

The hospital initially denied staff had damaged the doll and said its injuries were either accidental or inflicted by Ms Hearsey’s relatives.

Furthermore why is it so impossible for public bodies to admit that they've done wrong? Why always the insolent refusal to accept responsibility for their actions and those of their employees?
