LAKE GENEVA, Wis. -- Nurses accused of photographing a patient and posting the pictures on the Internet have been fired.

The investigation started with an anonymous call from an employee at Mercy Walworth Medical Center in Lake Geneva, with the allegation that a nurse took pictures of a patient with her cell phone and posted them on her Facebook page. Last week, the nurse told 12 News she never posted the pictures on the Internet. Investigators have since interviewed the nurse and said she offered more details.

"There were two nurses that independently took a picture each of an X-ray of a patient," Walworth County Undersheriff Kurt Picknell said.

The patient was admitted to the emergency room with an object lodged in his rectum. Police said the nurse explained she and a co-worker snapped photos when they learned it was a sex device. Police said discussion about the incident was posted on her Facebook page, but they haven't found anyone who actually saw the pictures.

The nurse removed her Facebook page from the Internet last week. Without more, Picknell said this conduct does not appear to violate any state laws. He has referred the case to the FBI.

"We've notified federal authorities of this allegation to see if there are federal violations, most notably HIPAA violations, patient rights," he said.

The hospital did not return a call seeking comment.

Simple violation of patients privacy.

Haven't the poor fools been violated enough?;)

LOL, yeah, but the fool did it to himself. Or allowed it to be done to him. Either way, it wasn't an accident; sure didn't fall on it. My wife is an RN in a hospital and sees stuff like that all the time. What those nurses did is a big no-no. They knew better and did it anyway. Serious fail.

Talk to any ER nurse and they all seemingly have stories of object stuck in some poor ****s butt. Makes you wonder how many freaks there are out there.

My favorite story, told to me by an ER nurse, was of a guy that had a pool cue lodged in his rectum. Hilarious.

Speaking of Pools, and Masturbation - how about the stories about guys who masturbate by sticking their thing in the jets of hot tubs, and get them stuck in there, only to have fireman come out and have to break the concrete to remove them
